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:
