The advantages and disadvantages of honey facial mask

Bees are friends of human beings. Although they can sting people, they will not attack you unless you provoke them. The nesting function of bees provides a lot of inspiration for human architecture. After bees collect pollen, they make honey. Honey tastes very sweet and can be used as a food ingredient or drunk directly. In addition, honey is a good thing for girls to beautify and nourish their skin. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using honey on your face?

We all know that applying honey on the face is a very common skin care method. It can effectively nourish the skin, keep the skin smooth and delicate, and is deeply loved by people. So is it good to apply honey on your face every day? Let's take a closer look!

It is not good to apply honey on your face every day .

Honey contains monosaccharides, vitamins, enzymes and other biologically active substances. Applying honey on the face can moisturize, smooth, tender, remove wrinkles and tighten the skin. However, due to the high nutritional value of honey, it is not recommended to use it every day to avoid counterproductive effects and making honey a burden on the skin.

What will happen if you apply honey on your face every day?

Waste of honey nutrients

Any skin has a certain degree of absorption. When the skin has absorbed enough, it will stop absorbing. If you apply honey on your face every day, the skin will not be able to absorb nutrients every day, which will result in a waste of nutrients.

Skin overnutrition

Honey has a viscous texture and contains high nutritional content. After one use, the skin needs a certain amount of time to absorb and digest it. If used every day, it will not only lose its original beauty effect, but may even burden the skin, causing overnutrition and the growth of fat particles.

Honey has a very good moisturizing effect. If used every day, the skin will easily get used to the moisturizing effect of honey and become dependent on it. Once the honey is stopped, the skin will feel extremely dry and dehydrated.

How often should I apply honey on my face?

Once every 2-3 days is good.

If you really plan to use honey on your face for a long time, then it is recommended to use it once every 2-3 days. 2-3 days is enough time for the skin to absorb and digest the nutrients in the honey, and it also gives the skin extra time to breathe freely, so as not to increase the burden on the skin or make the skin dependent. This frequency is the most suitable.

How long should I apply honey on my face?

10-15 minutes.

Most smear-type facial masks are used for 15-20 minutes, but if you use honey on your face, 10-15 minutes is enough. Honey contains more sugar and has a sticky texture. Using it for too long can easily make the skin feel stuffy and hinder the breathing of the pores.

In addition, the longer the honey is exposed to the air, the easier it is to absorb bacteria and dust in the air, thereby irritating the skin. Therefore, when applying honey on your face, you must grasp the time.

Although honey has rich beauty benefits, not all skin types are suitable for facial applications.

Honey has a thick and sticky texture. When oily skin uses it, the skin will feel more stuffy. In addition, because honey itself is a food and not a special skin care product, it retains all the ingredients of honey, including some ingredients that may irritate the skin. If used rashly, the skin may become allergic.

Therefore, before applying honey on your face, it is best to do an allergy test on your skin first. After making sure that there is no allergic reaction on the skin, apply it to your face.
