Who knew the honey sitting in your kitchen cabinet was your best resource for fighting skin care woes like pimples and dry skin? It's true -- honey facial mask recipes have been used by generations of the most beauty astute women because honey moisturizes skin naturally, and it is a natural bacteria fighter for stubborn pimples. Honey also happens to be a great resource for those with sensitive skin who might have negative reactions to ingredient-loaded beauty products, and it is packed with antioxidants for those looking to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face.

Here are a couple ways you can use nature's sweetest resource:

Honey Facial Mask Recipe for Dry, Flaky Skin

Ingredients:
1 raw egg
1 tablespoon honey

Mix together egg and honey. Spread onto your face and neck and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse well with tepid water.

Honey Facial Mask Recipe for Acne

Simply apply a scoop of honey to clean skin and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

To use honey as a spot treatment on pimples you picked at, put a drop of honey on your finger and gently pat it onto the infected area before bed. Cover overnight with a bandage. The honey will keep your skin and the oozing area sterile by fighting off bacteria. And as a bonus it will accelerate the healing process.
