Hi Lise,

I have a friend who keeps bees and I use the honey I buy from her on my face as well as in my food.
Thank you for the reminder, after a party last night today was the perfect day to put honey on my face :-)

It's an amazing ingredient. I've added it in a balm for irritated skin I've made (like a whipped butter)with aloe vera gel, and works like a dream :)

HI Tina - Ooh you lucky gal! Having your own personal honey and beeswax connection. I did a honey hair mask this morning and I just love honey every which way it is used.

Hi María - That balm sounds fabulous! I have only worked with powdered honey in any of my products, but imagine working with the raw ingredient adds a certain something to the texture. :)

Putting on my honey mask on Sunday was a treat and I decided to do a honey mask every day for a week to see if it would make my skin feel and look better, and cause I have honey that needs to be used so I can try this years harvest :-)

So I have been doing 15-20 minute masks every night since Sunday, that's 5 days including today, and my skin loves it! I have hormonal breakouts on my chin and neck and they take forever to heal but its like they are finally healing so I'm keeping up the challenge and might even extend it :-)

Again, thanks for the reminder Lise! Sometimes the most simple things are the best :-)

Seems I would like today to be Thursday, not Wednesday... I am on day four of my honey challenge, even more impressed with the results now :-)

Hi Tina - always a pleasure to hear your input! So glad this is working well for you. I must admit, I find a honey mask the quickest and easiest mask ever! :)

Thank you Lise :-)
I must admit there's been a few nights this week where the honey was almost dripping off my skin due to the heat - I have learned to use a much thinner layer :-)
I still like how the honey seems to keep the breakouts under control.

Tina - I'm giggling because of your description of honey dripping due to the heat. I was silly enough to start steam ironing things with my honey mask on- I'm sure you can imagine how that went! So pleased to know this is working well for you. I have even been washing my hair in honey (leaving it on as a mask on face and hair first .- then rinsing). I'm thinking of doing a blog post on my experience with it. :)

Is there any powdered honey that’s 100% honey? I mostly see things that have syrups, sugars, etc.

Thanks

HI Marcus - yes there is. Check cosmetics suppliers for this ingredient.

Hi Lise.
How do you put the honey in the hair? It seems too sticky to distribute properly.

Hi Britta — Added as an ingredient in a deep cleansing hair mask, it’s lovely.
