What a fabulous post! I was not aware of all of these benefits and uses for honey – I will definitely try them out!
I found this super interesting! I have used honey in hair masks before – I mixed it with castor Oil and camomile (I’m blond) post pregnancy and it helped me regain my hair quality after all the initial hair loss.
Good to hear that honey is beneficial for you… 🙂
Thank you for the awesome post 🙂
cheers 🙂
I’m going to try the honey for the nails. Ever since nursing my son, my nail have gotten bad. Thank you for this!
I’m raiding the kitchen ASAP. =)
Didn’t know about this use for honey haha. Interesting read!
I’ve used honey a number of times for skincare, but never really thought of using it on my hair. I currently do an overnight treatment (wrapped in towel turban for at least 8 hours or more) for my hair using coconut oil. Do you think it will work if I add honey to the oil? Do you use any particular type of honey?
Well, I never use honey with coconut oil, coconut oil doesn’t suit on my hair. You can use any good brand of honey I don’t fix with any particular brand. Thanks for taking your time and commenting on my blog. Have a great day… 🙂
I will definitely be trying that hair mask. Sounds like something I should be doing now.
This is so interesting! I will need to try them. Thank you very much for sharing 😊
Your welcome and do let me know about its effects… 🙂
I never knew you could use honey for all of those things nor that they have all of those helpful components for beauty use!
I had no idea you could use honey for your nails. I have to try that soon! 🙂

Honey has a wealth of benefits! I love using honey, especially manuka honey, as a facial mask.
Oh wow, I never knew honey could be so useful. My lips are so chapped right now, even chapstick isn’t working. I’ve got some honey and I’m fixing to go try your tip to see if it works. Then, I’m going to try some of your other suggestions.
