Raw Honey An exfoliant, hydrator, and acne-fighter in-one, this sweet ingredient is a major multi-tasker. The key is to use it in its raw form, explains Jolene Hart, health coach and author of the "Eat Pretty" book series. "Unlike processed honey, it hasn't been heated to kill the living components, which include enzymes, pollen, and propolis," she says. Hart suggests applying a teaspoon or two on clean, damp skin for 15 minutes. "Its antibacterial properties fight blemishes, and it also loosens dead cells and draws moisture to the skin, leaving you with an amazingly soft complexion and fewer breakouts," she says. Sweet, indeed.
