Honey used on the skin is a natural humectants which means it has the ability to attract and retain moisture.  Making it wonderful to use as a facial mask on dry and mature skin types.  However the healing properties of honey make it an ideal product for blemishes and acnes

Honey has been used down the centuries to help heal cuts and infections. 

We have forgotten with modern medicine just how powerful the benefits of honey can be.
