Honey Face Massage
Personally, I’d like to order a whole body honey massage–but in a pinch an invigorating honey face mask will do just fine. Honey is a great humectant and deeply hydrates the skin, coupled with a gentle massage leaves skin deeply soft with a lovely glow. Many people report an added boost of pleasure from honey’s sweet smell and the warm sticky feel of rubbing it on the skin.
This treatment is appropriate for all skin types; and work especially well for dry, dehydrated, sunburned, windburned, or mature skin. You’ll need 2 teaspoons of raw honey–and remember that honey will get runny when it warms up to your body temperature, so plan accordingly.
Apply honey in a thin layer on your face and neck. Lay down or recline and rest. After letting honey to sit for 15 minutes, pat your skin with your fingertips for about 5 minutes. Rinse using a warm, damp washcloth.
For other beauty treats using honey, try this Body Honey Wrap with Coconut Oil or make this Honey Cream Formula.

I just tried this and it worked wonderfully! My skin was left looking rejuvenated and feeling soft.
I'm actually not entirely sure what type of honey I used, because it didn't saw it was raw honey and it had a rather grainy texture, almost like a sugar scrub (I don't know what that means. Maybe that's the texture of raw honey, though I'm not familiar with it), which I liked a lot, since it gave the honey an exfoliator-like quality.
So, I'm not positive about the honey I used, but I like how it turned out!

Good article, but what is the difference, if any, between raw honey & the honey at the grocery store?

Thank you Melissa... this is great.. my personal little modification of this massage is to add a few drops of lemon juice in honey , which makes it a bit thinner in texture and therefore, easy to apply and massage on my face.
