Give Yourself a Spa Treatment with Raw Honey

Honey is usually considered as nothing but a healthier type of sweetener, but there are many other benefits that raw honey provides that don’t involve using it as an ingredient to cooking or mixing with beverages. It’s equally as great to eat as it is to apply to your skin. Honey is capable of fighting bacteria, reducing the effects of aging, and moisturizing. It contains an enormous amount of antioxidants, nutrients, and other compounds to heal and rejuvenate. The trick is to using raw honey that hasn’t been pasteurized or treated with heat. Buying honey from the grocery store can be a bit of a gamble because it’s hard to know for sure what you are getting. Raw honey contains more antioxidants and enzymes than treated honey, and here are some things you can try to give yourself your very own personal spa treatment:

Pore cleansing – Raw honey contains enzymes and antibacterial properties that can help clean your pores and keep them clean. It also helps for clearing acne and reduces redness and irritation of the skin because of its anti-inflammatory properties

Scar treatment – Honey is capable of lightening skin, and it’s healing properties is also capable of aiding in tissue regeneration, which can decrease the appearance of scars.

Hair conditioning – The many nutrients found in raw honey can add shine to your hair without weighing it down. It can also strengthen your hair follicles and moisturize your scalp.

Sunburns – The anti-inflammatory properties found in honey can help soothe a sunburn while hydrating your skin.

Full body treatment – If you want to heal, moisturize, and cleanse your skin from head-to-toe, adding 3 tablespoons of honey mixed thoroughly with your bath can give you the ultimate skin treatment for your entire body.

These are just a few examples of how you can use raw honey as a beauty regimen.
