Honey has been hailed as a moisturizer and antiseptic for skin as it is a natural antibacterial, making it great for acne treatment and prevention.

Honey is also a great anti-aging element and is extremely moisturizing and soothing, as it helps create a glow and also opens up pores, making them easy to unclog.

Skin expert Dr Rashmi Shetty said, "Raw honey is incredible for your skin thanks to its antibacterial properties and hefty serving of skin-saving antioxidants".

Aromatherapist Blossom Kochhar said, "Whether you're looking for an inexpensive DIY solution or a powerful skin treatment, raw honey can help you regain your glow".

Rod Anker, creative director of Monsoon Salon and Spa said, "Honey naturally retains moisture and its high levels of antioxidants soothe and rejuvenate dry and damaged skin. So a combination of these two ingredients would be the best option to recover the radiance of skin".

Several leading spas and salon incorporate honey into their popular treatments.
