Be sure to use raw honey, which is more effective since it was not treated with heat or processed to alter it. |
Did you know that raw honey for skin can help with pimples? It is a natural antibacterial that also has anti-inflammatory properties. Together, they reduce the swelling and redness and are kinder to the skin unless the harsher drying effects of salicylic acid products. It also is a natural humectant to help the skin seal in moisture without contributing extra oil. This quality makes honey suitable for all skin types, which is another reason to love it when a breakout occurs.
In order to benefit from raw honey when a pimple pops out, you need to cleanse your face first. Then, you dab just a little of the honey over the pimple before covering with a bandage. You repeat this process for a long as you need to.
I tried this last week for a few days and honey worked without any skin irritation.
