BEAUTY DIY: HOW TO MAKE AN ANTI-AGING MANUKA HONEY FACE TREATMENT

Fight bacteria and restore balance and moisture to your skin with a homemade manuka honey face mask.

It seems Cleopatra was on to something. The ancient Egyptian queen is said to have applied a honey mask to her face every morning and took milk and honey baths to keep her skin smooth, healthy, and youthful.

While all honey has numerous benefits for overall health, skin and hair, it’s with the manuka honey variety that you will reap the most benefits, experts say.
