Beauty Tips - Honey for Face and Beauty Benefits

“Raw honey is incredible for your skin thanks to its antibacterial properties and hefty serving of skin-saving antioxidants. Whether you're looking for an inexpensive DIY solution or a powerful skin treatment, raw honey can help you regain your glow.”- Kim Wallace, founder of kimberlyloc.com

    Legend has it that honey was Cleopatra's preferred weapon in her beauty arsenal, and now science is catching up to what many women have known for years. Honey, especially raw or unpasteurized is full of antioxidants, which are good for wrinkles and aging skin. It is antibacterial, which helps with acne treatments and prevention. It clarifies skin by opening up and unclogging pores. It's also a great moisturizer that soothes irritation and blemishes, and it leaves a lovely after glow.

As one of the ingredient that's often available in the kitchen, don't hesitate to use honey for your healthy skin!
