Honeysuckle
I love to learn new things about plants I have in my yard. Today I read about honeysuckle. Not only does it smell wonderful but it is great for your skin!!
Use honeysuckle infused oil, hydrosols, glycerites, tea, essential oil etc. for healthy skin. It's a great antiaging ingredient that can help with acne. Try drying honeysuckle, make it a powder in a coffee grinder, and adding it to oatmeal or rice powder for a powdered facial cleanser. Let some soak in witch hazel for a week to make a facial toner. Use it in combination with other plants in a facial steam.
It can also be used for hair care and a room deodorizer.
Here are some of it's properties and what it does for skin:
Honeysuckle is:
-antiseptic
-anti-inflammatory
It contains:
-Antioxidants
It is good for:
-rashes
-blemishes
-eczema

-relief from sunburns and minor burns
