Here are 10 different recipes to make a honey facial mask
for different skin types, including oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, normal skin, sensitive skin, as well as a firming facial mask.
I recommend you do a patch test first to ensure you do not suffer any allergic reactions to the ingredients.
Disclaimer:
Please note, I do not claim that any of these facial masks have proven medical benefit, or that they are approved by any medical authorisation body.
In the event that you have a skin condition or are on medication, it would be best if you seek the advice of a doctor.
If you are pregnant or breast feeding, seek advice before using any of these facial masks.
Perform a patch test on a small area of the skin before applying to the whole of the face.
