VICKY MEJIA: "Honey is good for any skin type. You can mix it with different ingredients. If you have dry skin or oily skin - it's gonna be good because it evens the PH. But honey as a main ingredient? It's a natural moisturizer."

Vicky worked with honey.com to show honey home treatment anyone can do try a moisturizing mask made with honey, bananas, rolled oats and plain yogurt.

VICKY MEJIA: "We're gonna start like...smashing the bananas."

Mush bananas into some olive oil then add in oats and yogurt.

VICKY MEJIA: "Everything is well mixed. Then with your clean skin - just apply. You have to make sure that everything is well mixed and then you put it on your clean skin for ten or fifteen minutes."

Let it sit a spell. Won't hurt ya unless you steal it from a bee.

VICKY MEJIA: "Another great treatment for fall is the almond/honey scrub."

Start with olive oil, honey and ground almonds.

VICKY MEJIA: "You just stick your fingers there and then give a gentle massage."

Don't be afraid to make a mess.

VICKY MEJIA: "And you can leave it on as long as you can. and if it starts like dipping you can just lick it."

Tasty!

VICKY MEJIA: "Honey is a gift of nature so we have to enjoy it."

It's sticky..sweet and fun to share..

VICKY MEJIA: "I'll put it right on the spot. Right on the spot there...mmm. Oh that's nice."
