Well I Bee, I’ve heard talks about honey, and
that it has great antibacterial factors, therefore the past two weeks, I’ve been adding
into my beauty regiment. And let me tell
you, I love it so much that it now has a permanent spot in my bathroom with my
facial products.
What does it work great on?
Blemishes, and boy does it
work. Unfortunately, when I get under a
lot stress, which sometimes my daytime job causes, I will get a break out in
the same place on my face. It is one of
these unsightly ones that just appears with no warning. For the past year, I’ve been using eye drops on this irritated area, which has been my secret weapon to banishing the zits! But honey, let me
tell you, you are my new sweet love.
I tried a variety of beauty
recipes with honey, and will share some of the best today.
BB Bit 1:
A fantastic recipe combining both
eye drops and honey, and it’s just an appliqué.
Eye Drops: I apply the eye drops to the blemish first,
by adding a few drops to a cotton ball and gently covering the
blemish. Why does this help? Because the eye drops contain vasoconstrictors,
which will shrink the blood vessels, hence reducing the inflammation &
redness! I then will take a Q-tip and
add a drop of honey on it, I apply it right on top of the irritated area and leave it over night. When I wake up the next morning, the inflammation
is down and there have been times where the zit has completely vanished.
BB Bit 2:
A sweet & sour mask. This
mask is a combination of lemon & honey.
The mixture works wonders as the citric acid in the lemon helps to
shrink the pores, exfoliate, and maintains your PH levels, whereas the honey's antibacterial
factors banish the zit.
How To Make This:
- Get 1 lemon and squeeze it into a bowl.
- Add about 2 tablespoon of honey and mix.
- You’re almost ready to apply, but before you do, you want to make sure you have your hair pulled back. Otherwise it will get stuck in the honey on your face.
- Apply the concoction to your clean face in a circular motion for a few minutes.
- Leave mask on your face for about 15 more minutes.
- Wash off.
Bzzz, I Have One More…
BB Bit 3:
I got this bit from my friend Teresa, who you’ve heard me make
mention before. It is not for blemishes but rather used on a cut. The honey has great soothing effects, combined
with its antibacterial factors; it shields as a protective layer over the cut.
How To:
Simply apply the honey over
the minor wound and cover with a bandage.

I am going to try to eye drops and honey. Thanx so much, you always have great bits as you call them!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it. Make sure to keep checking back. I've been trying out some new bits with coffee and it will be a great one!
ReplyDeleteThe cut suggestion, my grandmother always did this when we were kids. I still do it till this day, my husband always thought I was crazy until he tried it, now he's a believer
ReplyDeleteVinagar and then honey works too. Honey also brings blood to the surface to promote healing.
ReplyDeleteDid you know people have been using honey on wounds since ancient Egypt?
ReplyDeleteI did, thanks for sharing the with everyone though!

Thanks for sharing! I didn't ever know/think about using eye-drops topically, but it totally makes sense!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about using natural products. Great ideas!
(Can't wait to read what you do with coffee! ...possibly a natural "fake tan"? I've done that with tea before.)
Happy Wednesday!
Most certainly and thanks for stopping by my page! Coffee, there is so much you can do with it...tan, scrubs, dyes and more!
ReplyDeleteUntil Next Time,

You have the best posts! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo, it first brought me to your page! I love honey it works wonders, I've been using it for years. My father was in the military and honey was a infection cure he shared with us, along with similar tips that you mentioned. Keep up the great posts, I'm an avid follower of your website.

I just recently did a month long thing on my blog to see whether honey really works to get clearer skin. Let me just say, as soon as I stopped using it my jawline broke out like crazy again! I'm with you and honey has a new spot in the bathroom! :)
