Honey as a Facial Cleanser: Benefits, Risks, and Practical Tips for Thai Readers
Honey has become a popular natural option for cleansing the face, promoted for its moisturizing, healing, and brightening effects. In Thailand, raw and manuka honey are widely discussed in beauty blogs and clinical conversations for their antibacterial and antioxidant properties. But do the science and local experiences align, and what should Thai consumers consider before making honey part of their daily routine?
Honey has deep roots in traditional healing, including traditional Thai medicine, where it is valued for skin care and wound healing. The global wellness movement has amplified interest in natural ingredients, making honey a staple in DIY masks and store-bought products. While Western dermatology and Asian skincare traditions reference honey’s benefits, Thai consumers rightly ask whether honey lives up to the hype and if it suits all skin types.
