<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\nOne FGS Facebook reader told us she is using honey as a facial wash.\u00a0 Honey?\u00a0 As a facial wash?<\/p>\n
Perfect!<\/p>\n
Honey is a natural healer and softener, just what skin needs this time of year.\u00a0 For a quick example of how well honey works to repair dry skin, apply to chapped lips at night.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have a softer, smoother pucker by morning.<\/p>\n
Another great use for honey in skin care is as a mask.\u00a0 Mix with organic milk, or apply directly to skin, and leave on skin for several minutes.\u00a0 Rinse with warm water and admire your supple, glowing complexion.\u00a0 To make application easier, simply warm honey in the microwave for a few seconds.\u00a0 Be careful, you do NOT want to apply hot honey to the skin.\u00a0 To smooth and at the same time, this mask from Hollybeth’s <\/a>is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n Now, back to honey as a skin cleanser.\u00a0 Honey absorbs impurities from the skin, making it an effective natural cleanser.\u00a0 This ingredient is also packed with antioxidants, which protect against free radical damage, providing anti aging benefits.\u00a0 And its antimicrobial properties prevent bacteria, making it ideal for treating acne.<\/p>\n To cleanse skin with honey:\u00a0 Apply a liberal layer of honey (warmed if you prefer) to face and massage gently.\u00a0 Remove with warm water, apply toner and moisturizer as usual.\u00a0 This is perfect for nighttime cleansing.<\/p>\n Looking for products that contain honey?\u00a0 Try the all natural healers:<\/strong><\/p>\n [Image by Siona Karen at Flickr.com, Creative Commons license]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
