Once raw honey is heated to at least 95 degrees, it starts to lose some of the important vitamins and nutrients it needs to be effective. This means that the antimicrobial properties will not be as strong and no other benefits may be seen at all. When using honey for skin care, make sure it is raw honey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>You can find raw honey by reading honey labels before buying. <\/span><span>Most grocery stores sell raw honey in their organic section. <\/span><span>Ordering online through online marketplaces like Amazon is another great option. <\/span><\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"25\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-empty not-filled\">\n<div id=\"ad-d62fd870b8e74b98a216cb63bb05a17a\">\n<h2 id=\"8-benefits-of-honey\">The Benefits of Honey<\/h2>\n<p><span>Honey was long ago used by ancient civilizations for its miraculous benefits.
