Raw Honey
Honey promotes skin healing and has natural antimicrobial properties. Simply massage it into damp skin to improve skin’s health and appearance.

Sugar
On days when you need to slough off dry skin, add a bit of granulated sugar to your honey. The natural exfoliation will help your complexion shine.

Olive Oil
Winter can take a toll on skin. Protect your delicate facial skin by adding a bit of extra moisturizing power to your face wash with olive oil. Simply add a few drops of oil to your honey before rubbing into your face. You can also pat oil on after washing and drying your face, but you may prefer a more neutral-smelling oil, such as grapeseed or sweet almond, for that purpose.
