I still break out from time to time especially when the weather changes suddenly, but not like when I was a teenager. If you want an exfolliante, mix some brown sugar in with the honey until you get a sand consistency and gently rub on the face. I do that and it gives me really soft skin. I am sorry to hear that some on here reacted to the honey mask. If you do react then you are probably allergic to honey and shouldn't be eating it or putting it on your skin.

Do not use them every day if in the ingredient list there is a thing called SLS. Sodium Lorral Sulfate or something like that. SLS dries out your skin and can make acne worse.

Would it work or not work and is it good to sleep with it or would it just make your pillow sticky? I have used it before and when i took it off it made my skin amazingly soft, I love it. I like to put it on when I'm going into my hot tub and it is extra relaxing, and if I get it on my lips or in my mouth it is non toxic, obviously and tastes delicious.

Not like I'm gonna use it again but I recommend it for people who are not allergic to it. Before you put it on, put some in your arm to see if you are allergic or not.

It helps people with acne or without. It cost 2.50 at family dollar and a dollar more at walgreens. It has helped my skin so much! A friend of mine had a pimple one day and it was gone the next by putting a dab with a band aid over night. During the day I will put it all over my face for 5 min or more. It works like nothing else had. For only 2.50 who can beat that!

A diet just cutting out processede sugar, fried food, dairy, white processed flour and processed foods can do wonders for your skin ( and your body) Its sounds a bit hard but if you really want to get rid of your acne it is the only solid option out there. Once you remove the toxins that have built up in your body only then will they stop coming out of your skin. anything you put on your face topically only helps treat the symptoms not the cause. The best person to see is a really good natropath. I agree that manuka honey on the face is really good, I also use it for sore throats, skin infections, cold sores. I swear by manuka honey, if you cant heal something grab the manuka. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Honey Facial Mask Post By john (Guest Post) (06/05/2008) OMG love the honey. I just tried it and I loved it. It helps with your acne. I am so happy, I could cry. LOL People with acne mix honey and sugar together and wet your face with hot water then rub it all over your face and scrub and leave it on for 15 mins then rinse. Do it every day before you go to bed. Trust me. It will work. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Honey Facial Mask Post By Brenda (Guest Post) (05/13/2008) Proactive made things worse for my son and my self. Apple cider vinegar, diluted worked wonderful. I use it like a tonic and the honey mask just makes my face feel so soft. Sugar and honey is great for a scrub. Other people I know have used similar combinations with good out comes.

What i know works for sure is to dab honey on a pimple and cover it with a non-adhearing dressing/gauze (i.e. the white part of a bandaid). the honey brings up the pus from the pore and makes it ready to pop. continue to dab it on that pimple until it vanishes. honey is non caustic and won't darken your skin like tooth-paste. good-luck!

I fell in love with them and have never used anything but honey on my face, no soap. No one can believe my age. I also use honey to clean my hair or if shampoo is use, I spread honey over my hair and rinse it off. It leaves my hair very soft and silky. Recently, my Yorkie had skin problems. I shampooed him with honey and rinsed it off. His hair was so gorgeous. He has no odor of anykind. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Honey Facial Mask Post By Tim (Guest Post) (04/15/2008) Hi folks! I'm actually trying out the honey facial mask right now. Feels good, and tastes even better. :) Someone here mentioned apple-cider vinegar. Aside from applying it to the face with a cotton ball, I've actually found that heavily diluting it in a small pitcher or a large cup with water, and then pouring it over one's entire body, face, scalp, etc. helps if you have acne on several areas of your body (as I do.) I would also recommend people look into their DIET - I've long suspected the relationship (despite what I've heard many doctors say), and recently have begun what essentially amounts to a macro-biotic and raw-food diet. The idea is to eliminate anything which could be associated with acne flare ups, let the skin heal (if diet is the source, which apparently it is much of the time), and then begin re-introducing things back into your diet gradually. This way, you can actually find out what it is that is setting you off. For a lot of people, it's all of the refined sugar and carbs we eat, ESP. without the proper balance of healthy fats (basically for every 2 grams of sugar, there should be 1 gram of fat, like from HAND-SHELLED nuts or the wonder food, OLIVE OIL.) The theory goes, NOT having this balance in SOME people creates a diabetic-like reaction and your skin goes nuts. So far I've already noticed some improvement. It's worth looking into folks.

(Guest Post) (01/10/2008) hi ..I have found that many times when there is acne problems. The body has toxins. You can buy tons of cleansers and scrubs. But its the internals that need scrubbing. IE, intestines and bowels. Check to see how regular you have h ad a bowel movement. If you are able to go once a day, that is good. Once a week is not good. Once every few days. not good. the body is designed to pass waste daily. If these waste is not eliminated from the intestines. The toxins build up and it has to go somewhere. Sometimes the skin is a good indicator of what is happening underneath. I am not a doctor. Just out of experience. Drink lots of water. Daily, get rid of sweet drinks, especially coke and other soft drinks. So loaded in sugar, it just dulls the skin complexion. Vegetables and fruits. If you can get a juicer and daily juice. Many recipes on the pc. Just type into search engine and juicing recipes. This will help. I have been doing the above for years. And recently I have started just once a week having a facial tonic mask.Just once a week, plastering natural honey all over my freshly washed face. Rinse off with warm or tepid water. Feels Great! I am going to be 44 soon. My skin feels like a baby again. A combo of water and greens and veges for the internal cleansing, and good skin care regime.You will soon see changes. I had terrible acne when I was in my teens to mid twenties. Scars everywhere from the acne. Menstrual cycles I broke out numerous times. Now, I haven't got any scars. They're gone. Only thing I have to re learn is go to bed a bit earlier. Bad habit having a tv in the bedroom. lol.

I'm actually not sure about how good it is, but apparently everyone is saying that honey is good and stuff. Hope that I'll see some improvement in my face. Have been having loads n loads of problem since I was 12, and am now 21. I've been to many doctors, facials and stuff. I do get better sometimes, but have never had a clear face. I've tried witch hazel, and many other brands recommended by so many people. My main problem is little oil pimples, or clots to some others. I have never gotten huge red pimples. just the small ones. If anyone has some recipe towards better skin, and to clear these small pimples, do please let me know. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Honey Facial Mask Post By (Guest Post) (11/02/2007) One recipe I've used a lot with fantastic results is the yeast & lemon juice facial. You just mix a bit of active dry yeast and some fresh lemon juice, enough to make a paste. Spread the paste on your face and allow it to dry, then rinse with a warm washcloth. This recipe exfoliates, clears pores, and dries acne without drying out your skin. If you have pimples that are particularly stubborn, you can apply a bit of the yeast and lemon juice mixture to the problem area and leave it on overnight. It's worked great for me and my girlfriends! I have a free website where I post recipes for natural facial scrubs, masks and other beauty treatments a lot like the ones posted here.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Honey Facial Mask Post By Jeannnie Holst (Guest Post) (06/27/2007) For anyone who has acne such as myself, i found that using proactive works... but it is trouble to put on every morning and night when their is three steps. No one has the time. So what i found are two different ways that can help get rid of acne: for acne on your back or neck, use clean and clear dual action moisturizers. It works and it only takes about 20 seconds. it can also be used on your face but it doesn't work to fast. Also for your face, neutragena oil free wash is a great way to wash your face fast and see fast results. all you have to do is take some on your hand and get it a little wet. Apply it on your face and once your done putting it on you can wash it off. I must warn people that if you stop using it or a couple days... your acne will most likely come back.
