Frequently asked questions
Can I put raw honeycomb on my face?
Some people use raw honey as a face mask. Honey may have moisturising and mild antimicrobial properties. Patch test first and avoid if you have a honey or pollen allergy.
Is beeswax good for skin?
Beeswax is widely used in balms and lotions as a protective barrier. It is generally well tolerated by skin.
Does honeycomb help acne?
There is limited evidence that honey may help with acne-prone skin due to its properties, but it is not a medical acne treatment. Consult a dermatologist for persistent acne.
