Hi I'm Kim with Simply Beautiful in Austin,
Texas. Let's talk about how to treat acne
with honey. I know it sounds kind of strange,
it is counter intuitive, but honey is one
of the best things that you can put on your
skin if you have acne because honey acts as
a natural antibiotic so any of the redness
or the infection that you might have around
that acne, it is going to help to reduce.
So as per our usual regimen I want you to
cleanse your skin with the appropriate cleanser,
something for normal combination or oily skin
because people with dry skin don't tend to
break out too much but if you are dry use
the right cleanser. Tone your skin with an
alcohol free toner, get your skin damp with
the toner. So with your skin a little bit
moist from the toner because the honey is
sticky so if your skin is a little bit moist
it won't stick to your skin, it won't be as
difficult. We are going to take it on a cotton
ball. You can use your fingers but just spread
it on, spread it on pretty thickly. Honey
also acts as a skin softener so your skin
is going to feel really really soft as well
as reducing the infection in your skin and
the redness. You can do this as often as you
like during the week but I would think maybe
two or three times a week and we are just
talking about a teaspoon of honey for your
whole face. Now you don't have to put it on
very thickly. It is going to be effective
if you put it on thinner, you know the little
bottles of the teddy bear honey. Just a little
bit of that all over. I would think leave
it on for ten minutes, ten to fifteen minutes
and then wash it off. Use your same toner,
same soap that you washed your face in the
beginning to wash it off. Splash that after
you have gotten it completely clear, splash
that with a little cool water and then follow
that with cold water but whatever treatment
you have on next I would say do it at night
before you go to bed. So then put your Benzol
Peroxide on afterwards. Have a great night's
sleep and you'll see that the honey is really
effective for your acne.
