While honey is a popular ingredient for skincare and can provide various benefits, leaving it on your face overnight is not recommended. Experts advise against this practice, citing several reasons:
- Stickiness: Honey's sticky nature can attract dirt and debris, potentially clogging pores and leading to breakouts.
- Messiness: It can create a mess on your pillowcase and sheets, making it difficult to clean.
- Limited Efficacy: While honey has benefits for the skin, applying it for 10-15 minutes is often sufficient to reap its advantages. Leaving it on for longer periods may not offer further benefits.
Applying honey for a shorter duration and rinsing it off thoroughly allows your skin to absorb its benefits effectively.
