Kitchen Secrets For Great Skin: HONEY don't just consume it, use it!

HONEY, HONEY and MORE HONEY!!!

Hello Gorgeous,

Where to start? There are so many things I want to share with you about this amazing kitchen cupboard secret.
For so many years starting from the ancient Egyptian queens (like Cleopatra) humans have used this naturally gotten product for go-to beauty and skin treatments.

"Why honey?"

Honey, the good type of honey that is- has a number of medicinal effects.
The greatest belief is that with raw honey, which is the healthiest form of honey does not attract ants.
Shocking yea? I have always assumed ants would just love it since they like sugar so much but as a matter of fact, they don't. So if your honey attracts ants, best guess is that sugar has been added to it and it is no longer pure.
pure raw honey is still viscous when you try to freeze it and does not get crystallized.

Back to business,

Honey is not only great and healthy to eat, it is also good for the skin and hair.
Honey nourishes and soothes the skin. It has anti-bacterial and hydrating properties which rejuvenates the skin and reduces blemishes. It has anti-microbial properties and also has anti-ageing effects (Whew!!)

Did you just say 'Magical honey?'

Honey has been medically used to heal all sorts of ailments but how can we use it to our own benefits? It can be mixed in different ways to suit different purposes
My verdict? you can never go wrong with honey.
