Everyone knows that honey is an excellent food, it can replace sugar and also be used as a bactericide and antiseptic, therefore it is a natural antibiotic with no contraindications.
What many people do not know is that these properties can be harnessed for the skin too, for any kind of problem.
It is excellent for healing scars, helps prevent infection in wounds and burns and is anti-inflammatory.
For those with acne, the anti-inflammatory and healing effects of honey help your skin respond well to treatment, even better than many cosmetics.
For skin with allergies, irritation or burns, it has a soothing effect, relieving redness. For dry skin it hydrates and brightens, leaving your skin bright and lush. Another one of its amazing qualities is that for oily skin it has an astringent effect and controls unwanted shine.
Honey is perfect for all skin types, is a star home remedy. Even if your skin does not have any symptoms, if you are perfectly healthy, you can use honey in your care.

P.S.: It is very important that the honey you use is true honey and not a mixture of glucose or syrup, which is sold in supermarkets. Ideally, it should be from an apiary.
