Face masks! We all love those! In whatever form or texture! They are every woman’s luxurious relaxing treat! A great (and cheap) way to enjoy face mask is, well, to do it yourself!! What’s better than to indulge yourself and have a good spa moment at home with a DIY face mask? Be careful, though! Do not start mixing whatever ingredients you find in your fridge and kitchen cabinets since not all of them are skin-friendly! One of the most beneficial and safe ingredients for the skin is honey. That’s why I collected 3 of my favorite and super easy homemade recipes for facemasks with honey just for you! Enjoy!
What are the beneficial properties of honey?
Thanks to its natural moisturizing and emollient elements, honey can treat dryness and restore the skin’s lost radiance and softness. Additionally, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action, it can help reduce irritation and reduce acne signs. It is also worth mentioning that honey increases cell renewal rate; therefore, it can heal wounds and acne scars.
