How to use Honey for Acne and Acne Scars removal

By Mamta
Acne is a skin disease involving your sebaceous glands and hair follicles. It is due to excessive oil secretion and trapped dust with oil in your hair follicles that may become a thriving ground for bacteria. It thus involves inflammation of your skin shown as eruption of pimples on face, neck and sometimes even on back and chest. It may become infectious due to growth of bacteria and it also involves pain and irritation.
Honey is a natural antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory agent. It contains a lot of antioxidants, vitamins like vitamin B2, B3, and B5 as well as minerals. Not only it becomes antiseptic in nature due to its anti-bacterial properties but it also is a very good moisturizing agent. So, honey heals your acne with its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and at the same time, keeps your skin moisturized and glowing due to the excellent nutrients present in it.
