Cold weather can be harsh on your face. Luckily honey is one of the best products to put on your skin if it needs a boost. Here’s a lovely honey facemask to fight dry skin.

Did you know?..

There’s no need to worry if your clear honey goes cloudy. Cloudiness comes from molecules of air trapped in thick, golden honey. The flavour isn’t affected at all. To help these disperse, pop the jar in an airing cupboard or a basin of warm water for a bit.

Can honey cure hay fever?

Spring and summer can be absolutely gorgeous, or totally terrible. It all depends on hay fever. If sneezing, itching and watery eyes are causing you grief, it may be worth trying out one of nature’s own remedies: honey!

Bee careful

Some people are a little scared of bees (they can sting, after all). But bees only sting for two reasons – to protect the colony or when frightened. If you do happen to get stung… ouch!... there are a few things you can do to ease the pain.

Honey helps a sore tummy

If you're suffering from acid reflux, then honey could be your saviour. Honey’s viscous properties coat the stomach lining, making it the perfect natural treatment to ease any pain. Plus, honey has naturally occurring enzymes that help digest some foods too.

Did you know?..

You should never feed honey to babies under a year old. That’s because their digestive tracts aren’t quite ready to process some of the naturally-occurring constituents in honey. Wait until they’re one year old, and they’ll be ready to start loving honey.

Sweeter, Sounder Sleep

If you’re tossing and turning at night honey could be the solution for your sleeplessness. Here are a few delicious suggestions to help you get off to the land of nod.
