So this are the 10 benefits of honey on the skin
Find out, in detail, how honey can be used to enhance your skin and face:

(2) Acts as a Pore Cleanser:
Very few that honey can be used to cleanse pores and get rid of blackheads. Since Honey contains antioxidants, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties, it helps to rid your skin of blackheads by removing dirt from pores. It then hydrates and tightens skin pores for clear complexion.

For using honey as a pore cleanser:

Try mixing one spoon raw honey with two spoons jojoba oil or coconut oil. Apply to clean, dry skin, and massage gently in a circular motion, avoiding your eye area. Rinse with cold water.

(3) Gentle Exfoliator :
Artificial Exfoliators often cause your skin to go red and may cause irritation. Say goodbye to all the inconvenience by simply switching to honey as your exfoliator. Honey helps exfoliate your face & skin by gently removing the dead skin cells. This in turn also leaves your face with a brighter complexion.
