2. Apply all over your freshly cleansed skin and allow it to sit for about 20 minutes.
3. Honey helps restore skin’s texture due to its anti-microbial properties, and will help repair skin damage from the sun and daily environments you come in contact with.
4. Honey will not clog your pores or make you breakout further as long as you don’t have an allergy to honey.
