Honey Face Mask

Honey Face Mask

Honey isn't just for eating — it's one of the oldest topical skincare ingredients in recorded history. Cleopatra reportedly used honey and milk baths. Raw honey is hygroscopic (it draws moisture from the air to your skin), naturally antibacterial, and gently exfoliating.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. Apply to clean, dry skin with your fingers, avoiding the eye area.
  3. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. It will feel slightly sticky — that's the honey doing its thing.
  4. Rinse with warm water. Follow with your usual moisturizer.
  5. *Variations:**
  6. **Simple glow mask**: Just raw honey — nothing else. Apply, wait 15 minutes, rinse.
  7. **Oatmeal soothe mask**: 1 tablespoon honey + 1 tablespoon ground oatmeal + 1 teaspoon warm water. Gentle and soothing for sensitive skin.
  8. **Coffee scrub mask**: 1 tablespoon honey + 1 teaspoon finely ground coffee. Gentle exfoliation + caffeine for circulation.
