How does honey work as a homemade facial mask?

Question

i never used a homemade facial mask before. I want to use honey or avocado, has anyone tried it before? does it work good?

Answer 1

Honey is a humectant meaning it attracts & seals in moisture. Honey also has anti-bacterial properties. Because of its texture its best added to something else like yogurt.

Avocado is rich in vitamins & oils that are good for your skin.

Here are some recipes for ideas:

You seem to be looking for moisturizing masks. I have oily/combination skin so I haven't used honey or avocado ingredients for a face mask.

Answer 3

Honey is very good for your skin, I tried it before. U have to mix it with 1 egg or with take a slice of cucumber and put in the mixture of the egg and honey and then put it on your face or eyes. It really good and will make a shiny girl.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 4

Go for the HONEY, all the way, before it disappears. In less than two years, HONEY will be completely off the market due to shortage of bee workers. Also, honey will create a soft texture "all over your body". Just try it!
