Here are a few plain old honey skin applications. If you’re using it on your skin, I’d use organic.

Plain honey for the honey pat or tap: Pour a little honey into a cup, use your fingers to scoop honey onto your face. Tap your fingers all over your face until the honey stops dripping and becomes tacky (it will become tacky). Leave for ten minutes and rinse. Easy and it works so well for cleaning that you’ll be amazed.

Apple honey cleansing toner: I don’t remember where I got this recipe – it’s not one of mine though. I’ve had it forever and I love it. Just toss one peeled and cored apple (any kind) into a blender with a tablespoon or two of honey, and a teaspoon of aloe. Blend to death. Apply mixture to face, drink a cup of tea, rinse. Hello fresh face!

Creamy honey milk scrub: I don’t like this one as well, but have a friend who swears by it. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of cream with two tablespoons ground oatmeal and 2-3 tablespoons of honey. Scrub and rinse. I like this better for body than face.
