Why to Avoid Honey in Your Homemade Facial Mask?

As much as honey is an extraordinary component when making a homemade face mask, some people may find it unnecessary. Some valid reasons may cause one to avoid adding honey when making face mask which includes;

Honey is naturally sticky, and some people may find the stickiness quite uncomfortable, especially when applying it to the face.

Honey is not friendly to all people as some people have reported having skin irritation after applying face to their skin. So in such a case, avoid it.

• Unavailability

You are not guaranteed to have honey at your disposal whenever you need to make your face mask. In such a case, you need to find the right ingredients to supplement the use of honey in your mask.
