It is believed that honey does not deteriorate over time, as evidenced by the fact that absolutely edible honey was found in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, which had lain in the grave for more than 2000 years. Honey has been used medicinally and cosmetically in various cultures for thousands of years. And why not?
It works as a great moisturizer and cleanser and fights acne and all signs of aging. But the best quality of honey is that it contains over 80% sugar, which we all know acts as a gentle yet effective exfoliator and remover of all dead pigmented skin cells.
