Great idea – However being that I am of ethnic minority, please could you correct or ammend on the benefits of Honey on “whiten” to lighten/brighten. As if you are of darker skin tones you do not want to whiten but brighten or lighten hyperpigmentation. Unless this is aimed at specifically caucasian women in which case ignore this comment and maybe say for caucasion skin. Thanks, Julia
Hello Julia,
thank you so much for letting me pay attention to this. Yes, you’re right and I just corrected it! I’m not a native English speaker that’s why I didn’t pay attention to it. I apologize and Thank you again!
Thank you for addressing this. I look forward to trying x
Oooh, this sounds so lovely and good for the skin too! I did recently make a lip scrub with honey and ordinary white sugar, but I didn’t use organic honey. Great recipe.
Thank you! it’s fine if you don’t use organic honey, I think any type will work just fine.
