Use #2: Makes Hair Look Great

After a shower, coat the ends of your hair with some honey. Then wash it off—this will get rid of nasty frizz.

Another honey-based hair tip: massage a bit of warm water with honey into your hair, and let it dry off. This will give it a great-looking shine.

Use #3: Exfoliates Skin

Add a bit of honey to ground almonds and some lemon juice: this makes for a refreshing, rejuvenating facial scrub.

Use #4: Acts As An Antiseptic

Honey makes a good antiseptic for minor cuts, scrapes and bruises: its microbial properties can help treat these, as well as burns.

Use #5: Is A Moisturizer

Warm 250 ml of honey in a bowl till it becomes more liquid, and pour it over aromatic herbs like lavender. Close this, and after a week, mix with 250ml of unscented lotion. This gives you a homemade moisturizer!
