Sweet Sweet Honey for your face!

Honey from bees, unprocessed fine honey. Who would have thought that this miraculous product from bees can be used directly on your face? Actually it has been a long kept secret. It may seem weird putting honey directly on your face but think again, most soaps and beauty products actually have honey as one of their ingredients. So better yet just put it directly on face yes? YES. That's what I have been doing for the past 2 months.

I just get pure honey, put some on my fingers and then spread it all over my face and leave it on like a mask for about 20 mins (or more if you want!) then rinse with water. What I noticed was my face was well moisturized, and my pimples disappeared (because of its anti-microbial properties). Here's a little list on the benefits of honey and what you can do with honey for your body.
