Homemade Face Mask Recipe With Honey

Along with my sugar exfoliating scrub and my lemon juice astringent, I also use a honey, olive oil, and egg yolk face mask once a week. This mask is for dry skin, but honey is an excellent face mask ingredient for any skin type. Honey has anti oxidant properties which helps in reducing the damage caused by the harmful sun's rays. A good tip when choosing honey for your face mask, the darker the honey, the more anti oxidants that's in it.

When I put this face mask on, I use it cold. However, while researching for this article, I read that honey is better when warmed up. I will have to start warming up the honey before I mix it with the other ingredients. Cold will close the pores and we want them open to clean out the gunk that is in those huge pores. When you rinse off the mask, use warm water, but then splash your face with cool water to quickly close up those pores, pat your face dry, and then lightly moisturize your face to lock in the moisture.

There are so many recipes on the internet for honey masks. Keep trying until you have one that works for you. I love the recipe I use because it makes my face so soft and glowing.
