Raw Honey Benefits for Skin and Hair

In my last beauty post (Link) I mentioned the amazing qualities that avocado had for your skin and hair, so this time I wanted to write about another great ingredient that works wonders, raw honey. Just like avocados, raw honey has great properties that create helpful DIY beauty products. 

Raw honey is beneficial to our skin by:

• Anti Aging: honey is full of anti-oxidants and has a neutral PH of 4.5, which helps with slowing down aging. Honey also contains vitamin C which helps with elastin and collagen.
• Brightening: raw honey has gluconic acid which give skin a glow and moisturizes. 
• Acne Prevention: not only does honey have natural anti-fungal and antiviral properties, but it also helps with diminish swelling of pimples by being an anti-inflammatory. Honey also clarifies pores by opening them up to unclog them. 

Here are 4 great DIY beauty products that will help you feel great without spending tons of money. 

Banana & Honey Face Mask

Banana is another anti-againg and anti-blemishing ingredient, so combining this with honey will make your skin feel radiant. 

Honey Face Wash

Just like I mention above, honey does a great job at clarifying skin. This is a great alternative than using harsh face soups. 

Milk & Honey Body Wash

Your face isn't the only skin you need to take care of, so this body wash can help give your whole body a natural skin boost. Milk also has fatty acids which help moisturize. 

Coconut & Honey Face Mask

At this point we have all heard of how great coconut oil is for your skin and hair, so by combining it with honey will only make you feel like million dollars.

Make sure to purchase the least processed honey in the store. Since store bought honey can be full of sugar and all the rich vitamins have been extracted.
