Honey Face Mask/Wash

That awesome honey :)

          My first attempt at an all natural skin and body care regimen began when I found a daily way to wash my face gently and effectively. I came across this several times as I was researching on the internet and its super easy. All you do is use honey to wash your face! I started my process by finding some organic honey that was as local as possible to me. (I ended up finding a closer farm that does this after I ordered some so live and learn!)

The empty bottle I used (8 ounces)

          The honey I bought had already crystallized since I started all this a little after honey season but my providers ensured me I could heat it up on the stove and use it just the same (because honey doesn't go bad!) I followed their advice and put that jar in a pot of water on the stove and turned it up to medium heat; turned it back into a liquid for easy use. I poured the contents of the jar into an easy squeeze bottle that I bought at target in the travel section.

The final product!

           I try and use this every night before I go to bed to wash all the stuff off my face that accumulates during the day (dirt, sweat, makeup…you know) First I pull my hair back so that I’m not left with a sticky mess, and I slather on about a quarter size amount of the delicious honey. I continue with other things I do before bed like brushing my teeth so that the honey can sit for a few minutes. Then I take a clean wash cloth and run it under warm water and use that to wipe my face clean of the honey and I’m finished! I do like to put on a light layer of lotion afterwards just because my skin is extra dry, especially in the winter time… but this isn’t necessary.


The honey tastes a lot better than that stuff that you get in a bear at the grocery store and I find myself licking my lips sometimes when I’m letting the mask sit My boyfriend actually ate some right out of my bottle the other day! Using this honey makes my skin feel soo much softer! I ordered my honey and beeswax (in future posts) at Ames Farms
