You can not apply honey remedies when your acne is in the active stage (when the pus is already very close to the surface of the skin, and you feel that it is about to burst out).
But, if you only have a few pimples and they are in the stage of maturation (you feel them, they turn red and slightly ruin the relief of the face), then you can safely use a honey face mask!
Honey is an anti-inflammatory agent that:
- helps to reduce redness and swelling of acne,
- its antibacterial properties help fight acne-causing bacteria,
- because of the moisturizing effect of honey, it helps control the production of the skin oil, preventing the appearance of new acne.

- Also, you can rinse your hair with vinegar: dissolve 2 tbsp. in 1 liter of water and wash your hair, and the smell will be completely gone.
