Not just sweet to taste, honey is dear to your skin too! Packed with numerous benefits, love works well for your skin in many different ways. How? Read on to know why the natural, amber-colored liquid has many advantages as a chemical-free natural skin care product.
Honey Moisturizes
If you have dry skin, honey is your best friend. Follow our skin care tip and make it a part of your daily skin regimen because its natural composition is such that it attracts moisture and keeps it locked inside. But having said that, people with oily skin can also use honey for skin care. The natural sweetener helps your skin retain suppleness, especially in winter.

Honey Protects
Apart from being a natural moisturizer, honey is also a natural antioxidant, which means it is beneficial to consume honey internally. If you want to include more such antioxidants into your diet, look at eating more strawberries, tomatoes, apples, yogurt, pomegranates, and green tea. An antioxidant-rich diet is good for your health and works wonders on your skin – think of it as an internal skincare regime! And the best part is that these “skin foods” are delicious too! Returning to honey, it is also a natural form of sunscreen, protecting the skin from sun damage and premature wrinkling.
Honey Soothes
With a change in seasons, your skin works overtime trying to compensate for the difference in condition. Honey helps by balancing hydration and keeping your skin in check. Try this skin care tip – add a cup of love to your bath water, soak up for 15 minutes, and then add a cup of baking soda towards the end to get rid of dead skin cells. At the end of it, get a spa-like feel!
Honey Cleanses
Another miraculous property of raw organic honey is that it unclogs pores and moisturizes parched skin. All you have to do is apply a thin layer onto your damp skin, massage it in gentle circular motions, and let it be for half an hour. And then rinse it off with Dabur Gulabari Rose Water. You be left with fresh, soft, and energized skin. What’s more, you can use honey to delicately remove eye makeup by just applying a mixture of honey and natural oil (like jojoba or virgin coconut oil). Massage the concoction gently – you’ll cleanse and moisturize your under-eye area simultaneously.
Honey Exfoliates
Follow this simple skin care tip – mix two parts of honey with one baking soda and use the mixture as a body scrub. While baking soda exfoliates, honey smoothens the skin and works very well together.
Honey Heals
Not just beauty, honey comes in handy as a healing agent too! It prevents infection, helps heal faster, and works miraculously in wound dressing. That’s not all; if you have a little pimple, try zapping the zits with honey. It works better than your regular over-the-counter pimple cream and is natural!
