Manuka Honey Exfoliating Face Mask for Acne

A Manuka honey exfoliating face mask can be used to help teenagers and adults who have problems with pimples.
 
Facial acne causes embarrassment for both teens and grown men and women. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead cells from the epidermis. This allows your skin to look more radiant.

If you have pimples, exfoliating your skin can help you to feel more confident about the appearance of your face. However you should be careful not to do this too frequently. People who perform this procedure often using harsh products can end up with very dry skin.

If you can easily remove dry flakes of skin from your face, it is probably time to apply an exfoliating face mask. Remember, never use harsh products on your skin. This will damage your face. Manuka honey will gently remove dead cells, producing glowing skin. It is also less likely to produce dryness than some other products.

Irritation can contribute to breakouts. Men and women who over strip their skin can develop pimples and discoloration even if they never had an issue before. Using milder products on your face helps you to keep acne under control.

Manuka honey kills bacteria so it helps to heal infected pimples. It also helps to reduce swelling. You don’t have to mix the honey with any other ingredient if you want to use it as a face mask. Sprinkle warm water on your face to open up your pores and gently spread the honey on your face. Massage your skin for a few minutes and then wash off the facial mask, along with any dirt and dead cells.

Here are a few other things you should do to keep your skin looking healthy:
1. Talk to your doctor about any medications that you suspect might be contributing to skin problems
2. Eliminate foods that trigger acne on your body
3. Use an oil free moisturizer after exfoliation
4. Drink a lot of water to help keep your skin hydrated.
Using a Manuka honey exfoliating mask is just one part of the process. Exercising, eating right and managing stress also help you to look great. Doing all of these things will help you to keep your skin free of acne.
