5 Beauty Benefits of Using Honey

You often struggle to hunt for skincare products that are natural, devoid of any side-effects. Worry not. While you can find several good ingredients in your home itself, honey is know to be the most beneficial of all. Following are the five benefits of honey for your skin.

* Moisturiser

Our grandmothers and other elderly ladies keep telling us to apply honey on our skin during winters. They reckon that honey is a great moisturiser during the harsh, dry and cold days. And they are absolutely right! You can any time, on any day of the year, apply honey on your skin. Leave it for nearly 30-minutes and then wash it off to get a supple, soft and moisturised skin.

* Tan-Remover

Honey has an amazing quality of removing tan. Mix honey in milk and rose water; apply it on tanned skin and slowly and gently massage it. Wash it with cool water and you are good to go.

* Antibacterial

Organic honey is known to be one of the best antibacterial agents that will help you get rid of acne problems. You can consume honey (at least 2 teaspoons a day) or apply it once on your face (daily). This will not only reduce the acne problems but also help you get rid of the acne scars.

* Natural Cleanser

Since honey has antibacterial qualities, teaming it with turmeric and malai or fresh cream makes it one of the best natural cleansers. It not only cleanses the skin but also makes it soft, supple and thoroughly moisturised. Make sure you do not apply soap right away, after using honey.

* Natural Glow

Honey, being a natural antibacterial, cleanser and tan-remover removes all the waste and skin-damaging elements from the skin’s surface and lets the skin-pores breathe freely. With its moisturising properties, honey becomes an amazing product to give that natural glow to your skin. Let your skin binge onto this humble honey!
