DIY Honey Face Mask

Honey is one of my favorite natural foods. But did you know that it’s also very nourishing for your skin? Lately I’ve been making my own DIY honey face mask using manuka honey. I just love the way my skin feels after using this mask.

Manuka honey is considered a medicinal honey, and it’s kind of expensive, but I like to keep some on hand. Several years ago I bought this container of raw manuka honey, and we keep it in our natural medicine cabinet.  It’s reportedly very good for treating burns, and I’ve had occasion to try this out myself on a second degree burn I got a few years ago. It worked really well!

This mask uses just a few basic ingredients. You can use manuka honey or any raw honey you have available. If you’re using honey other than manuka, it’s a good idea to add a few drops of tea tree oil to it to help preserve it. From what I’ve read, manuka won’t require the tea tree oil, but you can add some if you like. (I have acne-prone skin, so I use a lot of tea tree oil!)

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup manuka honey
  • 1/4 cup organic jojoba oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • a few drops of tea tree oil (optional)
 Directions:

Get a small glass container to put your mask in. I found this shallow, wide-mouth jar, and it felt like the perfect size for this job.

Add the honey to the jar:

Then add the jojoba oil:

Then add the sea salt:

And the tea tree oil if you’re using it:

Stir it all together in your jar, and you’re finished!

This doesn’t require refrigeration. I just keep it on my bathroom counter top and scoop some out in the morning. I usually leave it on my face for several minutes (anywhere from 5-20) and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.
