Here are
some you probably didn’t know about.

As an exfoliator:

Honey sticks
to your skin and helps in unclogging the pores when mixed with sugar or oats.
Mix a spoonful of honey with ½ tablespoon of sugar or oats to make a scrub.
Gently massage your skin for a few minutes and leave it on your face for 10
minutes. Rinse it off with cold water.

To remove hair:

Given the
pandemic situation, we cannot go to the salons for waxing, but we can do it at
home with the help of honey. You read it right! Mix half a cup of honey with
one cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Heat the mixture until
everything is mixed properly. Let it cool and apply it to remove body hair.
