Honey Face Wash

Over the last few months I have been on a quest to remove nasty chemicals from our bathing products. I was wary at first because I assumed that nothing would be able to measure up to the chemical laden products I had been using.  Over the last few months I have tried making/using SO many different body products.  This week I’m going to give you my findings, and honestly some of them surprised me!Let’s start with my face routine. I have never truly had an issue with acne or breakouts. The breakouts I did have were few and centered around my period.  When I first threw out chemicals I tried making my own exfoliating face scrub. And it was good, but still not exactly what I wanted. I felt like it just left my face slightly too oily and it didn’t truly feel clean to me when I was done. So back to my internet research I went. I found a bunch of suggestions on face cleansers, but one I kept coming back around to was: raw organic Honey.Yes, you read that right, raw organic HONEY. In my head I was going…this is something to put in TEA, why am I going to put this on my face?!?! But being curious I tried it. OH. MY. WORD! This stuff is AMAZING! The honey that I found still has bits of the honeycomb inside the jar so I get a slight exfoliation (which is super important to me).Using the raw honey I have noticed that my face needs less moisturizer after I’m done. Typically two or three drops of Grapeseed Oil do the trick for me. My face feels fresh and clean after every application. I haven’t had any trouble with breakouts and my face feels fantastic.Now you may ask: How does one go about using honey as a face wash? Well here is what works for me. About five minutes before I take a shower I take about a tablespoon of honey from the jar an smear it evenly over my face. I let it sit for a few minutes to sink in then hop in the shower! It comes right off with warm water and even if I accidentally get it in my hair it comes right out.I totally suggest trying this face wash method, and following it up with a couple of drops of organic Grapeseed (for sensitive skin) or Sweet Almond oil as a moisturizer.  I’m sure you’ll be amazed at the results!
