As a cleanser/mask. After 2 days I got some red bumps. After 4 or 5 days my face looked like it was covered in a poison ivy rash. It itched, was tight, and red bumps all over. I was using nothing else on my skin. In the past this has also happened with tea tree oil and neem. I must have an allergic reaction to these products. This frustrates me because I try hard to be all natural. I am coming off of Dan's Acne.org regime which I have been doing for over a year and a half. It kept my skin clear but ages the skin from the BP. Oh I am using the raw honey on my chest and back and it is just fine and clearing my skin. Only my face is covered in a red rash. Weird. Have you heard of this before? HI Fran, I have been using raw organic honey on my skin for 5 days twice a day. As a cleanser/mask. After 2 days I got some red bumps.

I noticed in the health shop that some jars have "active" written on them and some do not as well as "gm free". I am new to using it so I apologise if these questions seem a bit silly but I was wondering if that's an issue as the jar I bought had neither of these things written on it? I also read that if you apply it topically it should be sterilized. The one I bough has a MGO rating of 250(15 UMF) and I've been using it as a mask but stopped as I started worrying it would make my already damaged skin worse. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks! Hi Fran,

I came here for job reasons from England for a full year and so far I haven't been able to find the Munuka Honey, they only sell weird supplements like tonics and strange herbs, but no Manuka! I read your post and went to Centro area and couldn't find any manuka, only agave honey =( Your help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!! Hi Israel,

I still get the odd spot but I've found honey to be a great skin care product! I also made my own facial exfoliator with it, similar to Israel's toner. It's 1tsp manuka honey, 1tsp green tea (cooled) & 1tsp apple cider vinegar. I add these together an when the honey is mixed in I add baking soda untill its a thick paste. This has worked really well, the baking soda is so fine and gentle it doesn't aggrivate any spots but still gives a good scrub :-D I’ve been using Bee Yummy moisturiser daily and Manuka Honey UMF 20+ face masks once a week or so for approx 1.5 months now and my skin tone has improved so much.
