Honey is one of the most powerful natural antibacterials many have seen lately.  And frankly, in a time when everybody is looking to save a little money, natural honey by itself or used in a mask without preservatives or anything like that is cheap.  You don’t need preservatives, because honey is the one food in the world that does not actually rot.  So I’m not exactly clear on why any brands use them.  But anyway, that being said, raw honey has enzymes and it is a powerful antibacterial and antifungal, even than heated honey for example. 

This being said, if you use it on your face, it can not only get rid of acne, it can also soften and strengthen your skin without causing any damage in general.  It can be easily combined with other ingredients to make it easier and more effective in various other ways that you should choose.  But lately, it’s most popular usage has been to treat acne while also preventing future acne breakouts.  It may be sticky, which is misleading.  But it’s definitely worth the time and effort.  You really can’t go wrong using honey for skin improvement and acne fighting benefits in general, and it’s something that you might use now or benefit from down the road.
