Honey tapping is a skincare method where raw honey is massaged into the face using gentle tapping, rolling, and kneading. This ancient practice helps brighten the complexion, firm the skin, and promote lymphatic drainage, boosting circulation and eliminating toxins for healthier, more radiant skin.
Honey in the morning, honey in the evening, honey at supper time! Does that catchy tune resonate with you? Honey is a beloved term of endearment for the 'sweetest' person in your life, and as a staple in our diets, it has stood the test of time. When archaeologists uncovered the renowned tomb of King Tut nearly a century ago, they discovered a unique treasure among the riches: a jar of honey. They sampled it, and to their delight, it was just as sweet as ever. Remarkably, honey never spoils. Not only is it nutritious, but it’s also sweeter than sugar, so you can keep a generous supply on hand indefinitely!
How it Works:
Apply Honey: Start by spreading a thin layer of raw honey on clean, dry skin.
Tap Gently: Use your fingertips to gently tap your skin, beginning at your chest and moving up to your neck, chin, cheeks, and forehead.
Massage: Massage the honey into your skin with rolling, kneading, and patting motions.
Lymphatic Boost: This technique helps stimulate your lymphatic system, promoting better circulation and detoxing your skin.
Rinse Off: After a few minutes, rinse the honey off with warm water.
And voilà! Glowing, refreshed skin!
I’ve been working with honey on the face for over 24 years, and I’ve learned that while honey works wonders for the skin, it can sometimes feel a bit tacky or pull as you apply it. To keep things smooth and comfortable, I always recommend adding a little oil or using a product like my Honey Lift Massage Lotion or Farmhouse Fresh Honey Heel Glaze - although it’s originally made for the heels, it’s gentle enough to use anywhere on the body, including your face. Not only does it make an amazing facial mask, but it also pairs perfectly with honey tapping, enhancing the overall benefits by keeping the skin hydrated and allowing the tapping motions to flow smoothly.
Honey has been used as a skin care treatment for a thousand years. Traditionally, milk, honey, and oil were essential for healthy skin. Honey effectively absorbs and retains moisture, making it ideal for skin care. Applying honey helps restore softness and dewiness to dry skin. Its natural antioxidant and anti-microbial properties protect against sun damage and support skin rejuvenation. Additionally, honey can help treat minor acne by absorbing impurities from pores, serving as both a cleansing agent and a massage lotion.
Benefits:
Exfoliation: Honey is a gentle exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
Brightening: It can help to brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Hydration: Honey is a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the skin and keeping it hydrated.
Antioxidant Protection: Raw honey contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Lymphatic Stimulation: The tapping and massage motions stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting detoxification and improving circulation.
Anti-inflammatory: Honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and calm irritated skin.
Skin Firming: The technique can help to strengthen connective tissues and improve skin elasticity.
Important Considerations:
Honey Type: Raw honey is recommended for its natural properties.
Skin Type: While generally safe, some individuals with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea may want to consult with a skincare professional before trying honey tapping.
