Ayup! It was taken from a website! This is the site: Honey! Natural Treatment for Gum Disease

If ya google "manuka honey" you will find lots of information based on antibacterial properties.

 

[MamaRocks]

I have always heard honey is an antibacterial. It is the only food that can last 100's of years and never go bad.

 

[lummerz]

That is true! Although, it depends on how you store the honey. If you keep it in those clear plastic containers that you see in the stores when you buy them, they will lose it's antibacterial properties over time. If you keep it in a opaque jar or mug, it will keep indefinitely.

Also try tea tree oil for blemishes - it works pretty well!

I'm going to have to try this!

I LOVE honey. I use in my masks, cleansers, over night spot treatments. Works wonders. :]

i've only tried drinking honey for health... the posts here makes me want to try it out on my face right away /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> i used to have a honey scrub (dead sea salt & honey), i guess i'll just make my own scrub with brown sugar or something

I tried honey and Im not sure if it did much for me. But I will tell you what did, lemon juice and egg white. I mixed these two together and put it on my trouble spots and left it on overnight. WHen I got up the next morning I washed my face and the blemishes were peeling right off with the dead skin. Im telling you this formula thing works wonders.

Yes, Honey has amazing healing properties. It does wonders for your skin and hair.

i so wish i could try, because i love the use of honey.Unfortunately i am allergic to the use of band-aids! ever heard of that! ;(

anyways, i always use honey and a vita E capsule everynight before i go to bed as a natural moisturiser and it helps make my skin supple and smooth! ;p

 

[UmmS]

Thanks for the tip /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I also read someplace that apparently lemon juice is good for blemishes....? anyone know more about this...?

 

[islandmama]

i have to try this usually i just use toothpaste over my pimples they dry them out too.

 

[Lamorenalotiene]

Oh my! That's such a good idea! Never thought of this one... Thanks

 

[LilyLady]

How about cutting a tiny square of gauze to put over the honey? instead of an adhesive bandaid?

 

[eternalvoyageur]

Yeah, and the honey will make it stick to the skin nicely. I wouldn't like using bandaids anyway, they hurt when you peel them off and they leave glue marks.

For those who regularly use honey masks, how long do you leave it on for?

The honey mask from L'Occitane works pretty well! It smells so yummy 0_0
