      Being natural exfoliant, emollient and nourishing agent, honey is helpful in reducing the appearance of stretch marks. It also reduces the redness and soothes the itchiness. Apply enough amounts of honey on stretch marks for as long as possible and rinse off with water. Repeat the process regularly to achieve the results. Though you cannot expect results overnight, you can reduce them if you follow the method regularly.

      Usually honey or turmeric doesn’t lead to dark skin. It might be due to any other reason. However if you think it is because any one of these ingredients then try any other remedy to lighten the skin.

      Yes, you have to rinse off the application after 15 – 20 minutes. If you want to apply a natural moisturizer then try cocoa butter or shea butter.

      Yes, you can try the combination of lemon and honey mask daily. But make sure to avoid sun light for 4 – 5 hours after trying this combination, as lemon makes skin photosensitive.

      Honey and lemon usually don’t cause any acne. So, you can try it without any worries. However, we recommend patch testing before trying it out on the affected areas just to make sure you are allergic to any of these two ingredients.

    Last week,I had been suffered from garlic burn and it leaves a scar on my face.I used honey with a combination of baking soda I leave it for only 4 minutes (twice daily) ,after I rinse it off,I apply Myra e 400 IU capsule (one capsule only) overnight,in just three days,it lightens my scar and reduce pigmentation due to garlic burn.It makes my skin supple,smooth and hydrated and even lightens my skin..in the morning when i go out and expose to the sun,i used Myra e Vitawhite with SPF15.Honey with baking soda is very effective on me,even I have a sensitive skin.Thanks for this useful article.On my previous experience about papaya fruit,even without honey its really effective to lighten my skin,it seems like a pinkish white complexion on the skin and it removes dead skin.
