Sounds a bit awkward, right? Fact is, at home body wraps are an affordable and easy way to get glowing, soft skin without spending big bucks at a spa. And honey is up there with other science-backed skincare superstars that can do wonders for your skin. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you dash off to the grocery store for a jar of honey? Not just yet. Here&#8217;s what you need to know about making your own honey cream body wrap at home, including what science says about honey on your skin, which honey to use, and the best way to apply it.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Body_Wraps_At_Home\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_A_Honey_Cream_Body_Wrap_The_Answer_To_All_Your_Skin_Woes\"><\/span><strong>Is A Honey Cream Body Wrap The Answer To All Your Skin Woes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey has long been lauded for its beauty benefits in cultural practices around the world. Some of the most ancient civilisations, such as the Greeks and Egyptians, used honey in their beauty treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Practices such as these laid the groundwork for modern-day skincare, and science has recently been investigating honey&#8217;s potential skin <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/piyo-workout\/\">benefits<\/a>. Studies have shown the following ways a honey body wrap may improve your skin health:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relieve_Dry_Skin\"><\/span><strong>Relieve Dry Skin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raw honey is a natural humectant (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5661189\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). A humectant is a substance that helps your skin retain moisture. This means it can help lock in hydration and improve dry, dull skin. When used as a body wrap, honey helps to keep your skin looking deeply hydrated and glowing. Even after washing off the wrap, you may notice that your skin feels smoother and softer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gentle_Exfoliation\"><\/span><strong>Gentle Exfoliation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exfoliation is one of the necessities of a good skincare routine. However, most store-bought exfoliators contain harsh ingredients that might be too abrasive for sensitive skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, honey is a gentle exfoliant and can help remove dead skin cells from your body and reveal a brighter, more even complexion (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24305429\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). When applied on your skin, it crystalizes and forms small grains that give your body a gentle massage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Healing_And_Soothing_Properties\"><\/span><strong>Healing And Soothing Properties<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey is known to have anti-bacterial and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/inverted-bodyweight-row\/\">anti-inflammatory<\/a> properties that can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5295738\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Additionally, its hygroscopic nature helps to bind moisture to the skin and prevent dryness. This can be especially beneficial if you have an itchy rash or sunburn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brighten_And_Rejuvenate_Skin\"><\/span><strong>Brighten And Rejuvenate Skin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The antioxidants found in honey have been linked to helping to slow down the signs of aging (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24305429\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Applying a honey body wrap can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, as well as give you a youthful glow. Raw honey infused with propolis is especially helpful for toning down the appearance of dark spots, scars from blemishes, and stretch marks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/metabolic-training\/\"><i>Metabolic Training: The Quick, Effective Workout To Torch Fat And Tone Your Body<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Body_Wraps_At_Home\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47398 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207621-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207621.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207621-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207621.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207621-1635x920.png 1635w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Frame-207621.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manage_Lesions_Caused_By_Skin_Conditions\"><\/span><strong>Manage Lesions Caused By Skin Conditions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain skin conditions like psoriasis (a chronic autoimmune skin condition) and eczema (an inflammatory skin disorder characterized by dry, itchy patches of skin) are often associated with rough bumps and lesions on the skin (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK448194\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey body wraps can help reduce these lesions, improve hydration, and maintain healthy skin.

There are at least 300 different types of honey that fall under one of these three <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/dynamic-lower-body-stretches\/\">categories<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Raw honey<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; bottled straight from the hive, unpasteurized and free of added sugar or preservatives. It has a cloudy, viscous texture and a dark yellow hue. It may contain small debris like bits of wax and bee parts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s the best for body wraps because it has the highest concentration of antioxidants, enzymes and other beneficial compounds. However, it should never be used on broken skin because of the potential for bacteria growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pasteurized honey <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; filtered and treated to remove unwanted impurities like pollen, bacteria, and wax. It has a clear, golden color and is often used in commercial products like body lotions and scrubs. It may contain added sugar or preservatives, so it&#8217;s best to read the label before using this type of honey for your body wrap.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pure pasteurized honey <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; filtered and pasteurized, but with nothing added. It has a clearer color and texture than raw honey, making it easier to spread on the skin without sticking. It is a good choice for those with sensitive skin, as it does not contain any added elements. It also has a longer shelf life than other types of honey.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After deciding which type of honey you want to use, prepare your supplies. You&#8217;ll need the following items:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A container of raw or pure pasteurized honey\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An old towel or blanket\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plastic wrap\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pair of scissors\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brush (optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by heating the honey to make it easier to spread. You can do this in a double boiler or microwave, or simply leave the container of honey in a warm place for a few minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, spread the honey thinly and evenly over <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/tabata-lose-weight\/\">your body<\/a> using either a brush or your hands. Make sure to cover all areas, including your neck, chest and back.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your body is covered, wrap yourself in the old towel or blanket, followed by the plastic wrap. Use the scissors to cut off any excess plastic wrap. You don&#8217;t have to wrap in so many layers; depending on the texture of the honey and the area of the body, you may opt for just one layer of plastic. <\/span>The wrap should be snug but not too tight, as it will constrict your movement and circulation. The plastic wrap will act as a heating pad, helping the honey penetrate deeper into your skin.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can leave the honey body wrap on for up to an hour, but it&#8217;s best to start with just 15 minutes and work your way up.

However, it is recommended to have one at least once a month for the best results. You can increase or decrease the frequency depending on how your skin feels and what type of treatment you need.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Do_Body_Wrap_Results_Last\"><\/span><strong>How Long Do Body Wrap Results Last?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of a honey cream body wrap can last up to a week. However, to maintain the results you will need to continue with regular body wraps and healthy lifestyle habits like drinking plenty of water and getting adequate exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, make sure to moisturize your skin after each wrap with a good quality body lotion. With this routine, you can enjoy the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/glute-activation-exercises\/\">benefits<\/a> of a honey cream body wrap for weeks to come!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_A_Body_Wrap_Do_For_You\"><\/span><strong>What Does A Body Wrap Do For You?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some misconceptions about what a body wrap can and can&#8217;t do for you. In the case of honey cream body wraps, consistent use guarantees hydrated, silky, soft skin. It can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, invigorate your senses and help you relax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, no amount of body wraps will help you lose weight &#8211; for this, you&#8217;ll need to focus on a balanced diet and regular exercise.

This includes avoiding hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and excessive exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t apply any lotions, oils or makeup to your skin before you start the wrap either. That&#8217;s because the honey needs direct contact with your skin to be most effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also important not to eat a heavy meal before the wrap as this could cause you to feel sluggish and uncomfortable during the process. Last thing you need with a full belly is to be wrapped up in plastic wrap!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you should make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol, caffeine or nicotine in the 12 hours before the wrap. Lastly, it&#8217;s important to exfoliate your skin the day before the wrap to ensure maximum absorption of the honey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A honey cream body wrap can be a great way to transform your skin from dull and dry to soft, bright and healthy. It is also a much more affordable treatment than going to the spa, allowing you to enjoy all the same skincare benefits at the comfort of your own home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before trying a honey wrap, be sure to do some research on which type of raw honey best suits your skin type, as well as the best way to apply it.
