Nature Nate’s 100% Raw & Unfiltered Honey Review


 
Nature Nate’s raw, unfiltered honey and found a plethora of beauty benefits with the product after looking into what makes raw/unfiltered so much better than regular honey brands.

Natural foods are quite possibly the most overlooked source for beauty regimens and skin solutions. The same nutrients and health benefits some foods provide our bodies can also be applied externally to help moisturize, sooth irritations, clear up acne, and even zap away signs of aging. Nature Nate’s honey, provides 100% pure, raw and unfiltered honey that maintains the natural enzymes and antibacterial qualities lost in most other honey brands. Combined with commonplace items found in your fridge, food on your face could be the easiest, most effective and natural solution for glowing, healthy skin. Here are a few ways to test the theory:

Dry Skin/ Acne
After years of struggling with acne and dry skin, Lori at Laurel of Leaves experimented with this Honey Face Mask once learning about all of the benefits of raw, unfiltered honey. Recommended for daily use for at least two weeks to start, Lori found this regimen to do the trick:

Honey Face Mask
1.    Apply thin layer of raw, unfiltered honey to clean face and leave on for 10 minutes to an hour.
2.    Rinse off with warm water, pat face dry.
3.    Follow with coconut oil to moisturize (coconut oil is antibacterial as well).

Oily Skin/ Acne
An effective remedy against oily skin and acne, this Honey & Egg White Mask is designed to pull excess oils while also lifting and tightening your skin. Nature Nate’s raw, unfiltered honey will soothe any blemishes/irritations while softening the skin. Egg whites have been proven to be astringent, therefore helping with acne and/or oily skin. Oils in the skin are pulled from pores as the egg white dries. This drying agent combined with the moisturizing and antibiotic properties found in raw honey make a perfect defense against acne and oily skin.

Honey & Egg White Mask
1.    Combine 2 tablespoons of raw, unfiltered honey with one organic egg white and apply over clean face.
2.    Leave mask on skin 10-15 minutes as you feel the egg tighten.
3.    Rinse with warm water.

Lips
This Lemon-honey scrub makes lips kissably smooth, followed by a coconut oil salve that softens. Lemons, a natural skin exfoliator, will give this scrub an extra boost when combined with raw honey and sugar.  

1.    Mix 1.5 teaspoons raw, unfiltered honey with 1.5 teaspoons sugar and juice from ¼ lemon.
2.    Rub over lips with finger in circular motion to exfoliate; rinse.
3.    Combine 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, contents of 1 vitamin E capsule and 1 drop lemon essential oil in another bowl.
4.    Dab on lips to moisturize. Extras can be kept in the fridge for a week.



Our Thoughts
  

I am so happy I have raw honey again. Just as my kids are starting to get some sniffles this arrived in the mail. The first thing I did when I got the package was give us all a big spoonful of this delicious honey. I have always had a taste for store-bought honey, but the past year I have branched out with raw and the taste is definitely different and I love it. Much richer, creamier, smoother and the color is darker which packs a flavorful punch in my opinion.

This honey goes great with everything. I put it on pancakes, I eat it raw, I use it in coffee, I use it for allergies and colds, I use it on biscuits and peanut butter and honey sandwiches for the kids. I also use it on the outside of the body as a face and body scrub mixed with some sugar or other ingredients. You cannot go wrong with honey, it is perfect for everything.
