Honey when mixed with other kitchen ingredients will give you a permanent solution to all your skin-related issues. So let us find out how we can use honey in our daily skin care routine.

Moisturizer

Honey helps in moisturising the skin deeply. It contains enzymes that help in keeping the skin soft and clean.
Take 1 spoon of honey and apply it all over your face. Let its stay for 15-20 minutes. After 20 minutes rinse it off with cold water. You can do this every day right before you go to bed.

Treats Wrinkles

Honey contains antioxidants that help in keeping the skin hydrated and is instrumental in delaying the ageing of the skin. Here is a simple anti-ageing mask that you can try at home.

Ingredients

1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp papaya
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp yogurt

Mash the papaya to form a thick paste. Add all the above ingredients in a bowl and mix them well. Apply this mask on a clean face and gently massage. Leave the mixture for 30 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water. You can repeat this remedy once in a week for faster results.

Exfoliator

Honey helps in removing the dead cells and exfoliating the skin if used regularly. It also helps in improving the complexion of the skin.

Ingredients

For Getting Rid Of Acne

Honey has anti inflammatory properties that help in removing excess oil from the surface of the skin. This helps in getting rid of acne scars.

Just apply some raw honey on the acne or pimples and leave it for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes rinse it off with hot water and pat dry. Repeat this once every day.
