You might love adding honey to everything from your morning cinnamon roll to your cup of tea, but did you know that this delicious additive has numerous benefits? Specifically, honey can do wonders for your physical well-being. Furthermore, you may notice silkier, smoother skin if you apply it to your face! Here are three ways that sweet honey can give you an edge.

1. Honey retains moisture
If it seems like your moisturizers aren’t doing the trick when it comes to keeping your skin soft and hydrated, try honey! Mother Earth Living claims that it can instantly provide you with skin that’s smoother to the touch.

2. Honey can beat acne
Have you always struggled with acne on your face? Perhaps you might want to try a little honey on your pimples, suggests Discovery Health. Honey has antibacterial properties that can aid in the elimination of acne.

3. Honey can heal wounds
If you have an unsightly scratch on your face, you might want to apply honey to speed up the healing process. While it might be a little sticky, honey can help you treat infected wounds and get your face back to its flawless state.

Shayna reports on the latest makeup, skincare and fashion trends and will try to convince you on a regular basis that yes, you really should wear sunscreen daily. My favorite beauty product is... - Anything containing sea salt. It's probably the most amazing exfoliant I've ever used and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and smoother than ever. Can't leave the house without my... - Lip gloss. The rest of the day can be a total bust, but if I have a great gloss on I feel like at least I've done one thing right! I would describe my style as... - Definitely au naturale. While I love exploring new shades of eyeshadow and liner on special occasions, for me the most important part of any beauty regimen is keeping my skin clear and blemish-free.
