I really like honey in my tea, on cereal and in cooking. I never even thought that honey would be good for my skin, but I have been looking for organic skin products and thought that maybe honey would work. It turns out that it is very good for the skin because it is a natural antibacterial and also is an antiseptic. Who knew? From my cooking I know that it contains amino acids and enzymes and that also has to be good for the skin. Wow, I also found that it naturally cures acne!
I found that it cures the acne because it cleans the skin and because of the antibacterial properties it keeps anything from growing on the skin. Antioxidants in honey seem also to protect from the sun, so hooray, it is a sun block too!
