Honey has anti-inflammatory properties, which can heal most acne types. One of the hardest side effects to heal is inflamed pores; therefore, use honey to help relieve these acne side effects. To use honey as an acne treatment, purchase unprocessed honey from a store that sells organic products. Do not heat the honey; that will kill the anti-inflammatory properties. Clean your face, and apply the honey to your face. The honey will act like a mask. After 15 minutes, wash the honey from your face.
