This article will discuss using honey for skin benefits. I need

ancient cultures used honey to improve the look and feel of
their complexion?

What properties of honey can be beneficial for skin? [and what
works/has scientific evidence?]]

Honey has antibacterial/anti-inflammatory properties. Why would
that be good for skin?

But are there properties in large enough quantities to actually
benefit skin?

Is it safe to use honey on your skin?

No ingredient is 100% safe for 100% of people, right? What are
some of the common reactions that could occur if someone's skin
does not tolerate honey well?

What should one do in that case?

How all can you use honey on your face? (i.e. slather it
directly on your face, mix it into a DIY face mask/wash, etc)

What type of honey is best to use and why? (Is raw best? Manuka?)

Can you please share a DIY face mask or wash with honey?

Are there any products with honey that you recommend? What and
why?

What's your bottom line on using honey as a face wash?
