It is antibacterial, humectant, and full of micropollens, trace minerals, and the love of the bees.
Honey is good for many things, in addition to facials. It was once a staple in the doctor's little black bag.
It will help soothe a cough and lubricate the alimentary canal. Local honey will help prevent allergies (due to the micropollens). Rubbed on a contusion, it will promote healing without infection or scarring. It's amazing. I'm glad you discovered it. :-)
Try a cup of whole milk and a generous spoonful of honey in your bath.
Also, check out beeswax candles. They burn full spectrum, (like the sun) and also act as an ionizer to clean the air.
Gotta love the honey bee! To think, they also help make our delicious fruits, berries, herbs, and flowers with their pollination too!
I am not sure about your skin - but I use honey in my hair as it acts like a humectant and is meant to retain moisture.
On your skin - I think its meant to soothe it and comfort it - nourish and moisturise. Sort of rejuvinating.
Honey is good for alot more than facials.
Hoeny also has numerous medicinal uses. Honey is rather acidic with a pH level of 3.2 - 4.5, which prevents the growth of many bacteria. When honey is applied topically, as when dressing a wound, it acts as an antiseptic. Honey has low water activity so it is a poor environment for the growth of microorgamisms. Iron in honey oxidizes the oxygen free radicals. Some studies suggest that the topical use of honey may reduce odors, swelling, and scarring when used to treat wounds; it may also prevent the dressing from sticking to the healing wound. Honey, sometimes used with lemon, has also been used as a treatment for sore throats and coughs for centuries and may be more effective than most common medicines. Antioxidants in honey have even been implicated in reducing the damage done to the colon in colitis. Such claims are consistent with its use in many traditions of folk medicine.
Given all of the properties of honey it probably would be good in a facial. It's likely that something in it would be beneficial.
