Honey Mask

im 14 with acne and scars but not to to bad but still at the point where im insecure about my skin and the honey mask works amazing if your looking for something to lighten scars and even out skin tone. and maybe help your acne. but over all i would DEFFINITELY recommend this to peoplle who suffer from light acne and scars to severe. its just a quick way to being closer to having healthier smoother looking skin. hope this helped! :)

I used regular organic grocery store honey once or twice a day for about a week. In that time, it managed to clear up some stubborn under the skin bumps on my cheek and made my skin glow. then I switched to manuka honey which is about three times as expensive and honestly did not do as much as the grocery store honey did. Also, I left it on overnight once and it seemed to clog my pores and erase the good that the regular honey did...so i'm starting today with the regular honey and will give an update in a week. overall, if nothing else it is a very good hydrating mask for sensitive dry skin.

I am a "beeliever"! My acne was completely out of control before I used pure honey on my face. My face was burned, red and inflamed from using medication by the doctor. I used tea tree oil for two weeks and my face showed very slow signs of recovery. After sleeping with a honey mask for 2 nights the inflamation disappeared. After 3 nights my pimples started to heal. After 4 nights my face looked completely clear and smooth. I honestly didn't think this was possible. I highly recommend drinking 4 liters of water per day and eating non greasy foods. Last but not least put a towel over your pillow when you sleep. Trust me on this. I never leave reviews but I want to help others because I was depressed about my skin and now I feel like a million bucks!

I slather Raw, Organic honey on my face whenever I can. I leave it on for as long as I can, until it begins to drip. The results are absolutely amazing. For years I've been so embarrassed and felt so ugly because of my acne but now I feel beautiful. Due to harsh acne products my skin itched like crazy, to the point that I would cry. Since the first day I have used honey as a mask, I have had no more itching and my face becomes more clear as the days pass. I still get some new spots but no more cystic acne. When I do get a small whitehead now I just spot on some honey, leave it overnight, and I'm as good as golden the next day. If you are suffering from acne, try this! It may not work for everyone but I can't stop telling my friends and family about it. My Mom laughs at me because every time she comes home from work she says, "Oh Hi, Honey! There isn't a day goes by that you're not covered in honey!" But then she's always complementing me on my skin now. I love it! Try it!

**For this post, I am referring to the honey as a spot treatment, not as a whole face mask.** I have tried pretty much EVERY spot treatment there is out there. Nothing comes close to how good this natural remedy is!! I found it works best on pimples that were "just popped" Every single time I have popped a pimple and put this on overnight, when I wake up in the morning it is at least 75% reduced in size. Has only worked a couple times for PREVENTING pimples, but if you catch one early enough and apply this consistently every night, it should stop it from coming to a head. **Make sure to get PURE, UNFILTERED, RAW honey, for best results. I have also heard Makuna honey works well also. ***DO NOT microwave it!! Microwaving or heating any food up will decrease it's natural nutrients by at least 50% (learned this in nutrition class) same reason why eating raw vegetables is better and healthier than eating cooked veggies. For best results, don't heat it up! Usually your body temperature will melt it on contact with your skin. Some people don't like the fact that it drips, so they will put a piece of tissue paper over it. I have found that every time i've done this it's not as effective. It's almost as if the blemish "drinks up" the honey, because everytime i've put some tissue over it, in the morning the tissue is "sucked" into my pimple. therefore when I take the tissue off, it starts to bleed! not good :/ I just leave it alone and let it drip! Hope this helps...has worked for me :)

This is not a over the night miracle, but allowing some time it may actually work. I have only used started using the honey mask recently and have so far seen some improvement in my skin. Honey is a natural antibacterial acne fighting element, so I recommend all those who suffer acne to try this alternative.

All I can say is... WOW!! Honey has truly been a blessing for me! I am 24 years old and have suffered from acne since I was about 15 years old. I can't remember the last time that I have every left my house without makeup! I started taking minocycline (the first antibiotic prescribed to me for acne) but stopped taking it due to the side effects. Instead, I started using a honey mask (honey & lemon juice). I use it before I go to bed about 3-4 times a week. I leave it on for about an hour, and as soon as I wash it off my skin instantly feels so much smoother! I have noticed that my old scars have faded significantly and my skin is just overall more evened out. I also have noticed that my breakouts are not nearly as bad as they used to be... I still get them, but they are definitely much more tolerable. I am very happy wtih the improvements I have seen just from using HONEY.... just thought I'd share my results! :)

My skin: I have had mild to moderately severe acne since I was around 13. I'm currently 24. At the moment my main problem is scarring, with a rash-like redness across my cheeks from nose to ear and some red single spotty scars towards my jawline. I currently also have a couple of what I call 'active spots'- raised but not popped or healed at all. Application: I applied a generous layer of honey onto my face using 2 disposable cotton pads. I left it on for an hour. During this time certain small areas became a little itchy (so something was working!), which I remedied by gently massaging the area and moving the honey around. There were some drips (which I know to look out for next time). But overall the waiting time was pleasant (and delicious). To remove: I took a face washcloth and heated with warm water, placing it over my entire face and let the honey warm for a few seconds (because the honey dries a little after being on your skin). The warmth at this point feels amazing by the way. I then gently wiped off the honey with the cloth, and rinsed my face thoroughly with running warm water. The result: Immediately after towel-drying I noticed large areas of redness were removed almost entirely. My larger more prominent acne scars were still very noticeable, but possibly not as 'angry-looking'. I feel these may improve with daily applications of the honey mask. The overall texture of my skin was improved. After ten minutes: I noticed most of the redness returned, however my skin was incredibly soft, it felt very clean and my pores were tightened. After a couple of hours: The redness had settled again, with large portions of my face noticeably less red than before application. Only very mild redness remained, however my larger scars still remained red, but again, less angry and they seemed very clean. I will continue this process as I do believe it will help in time. I gained better results than any store bought product.

I dont really see it helping to dry out spots lke some other people say but it does seem to even my colouring and complexion so its wonderfull for that. Also when you apply spend a good 5 minutes really massaging it into your skin i find this helps alot. I brought my honey from a well known health store in the UK Holland and Barret, all their Honey is raw and Organic I think I payed about £4.99. Bottom line: You cant really go wrong...just try it.

Honey is a miracle. I have used a mixture of honey and cinamon for about 3-4 week daily for about 1-2 hours before sleeping. (I've tried to sleep with the mask but I gave it up when I woke up with my face stuck on my arm after first night :D). My skin was smooth and glowing. After loooooong time, my acne was finally reduced!!! I looked amazing as never before. I just had to apply it when I was alone coz I looked like a monster with that stuff on my face :D It really helps. I reccommend it to everyone. You can also add some lemon juice.
