Last week, after a cozy team dinner, a few of us from LAKE+MAIN wandered back to the store for an after-hours top-up of our essentials (ELEVATE for me, NOURISH for a colleague). While we were there, we got to do something pretty special: sample the unreleased Whipped Honey Balm.
I share this because I now know how special this product is—and it made me a little jealous of everyone who’ll get to experience it firsthand at our upcoming event.
✨ On September 18, 2025, we’re teaming up with Holistically Hip in downtown Kingston for a hands-on Honey Glow workshop where you’ll craft your own natural skincare products—powered by one of nature’s most beloved ingredients: honey.
What to Expect
This isn’t your average night out—it’s a chance to slow down, sip, laugh, and make something truly nourishing for your skin. Guided by the LAKE+MAIN Skin Health team, you’ll create:
- Whipped Honey Balm that melts into dry skin and locks in hydration
- Honey Glow Face Mask for a radiant, refreshed complexion
Both recipes feature Maple Ridge Farm honey and beeswax, ingredients that have been treasured for centuries for their skin-soothing and healing properties. You’ll take home your own balm and mask—plus the knowledge to recreate them again and again.
But more than the skincare, you’ll also leave with something just as valuable: a memory of a night well spent, full of laughter, warm scents, and the joy of making something beautiful by hand.
Why Honey in Skincare?
Honey is one of nature’s most powerful multitaskers. It’s naturally humectant, meaning it helps draw moisture into the skin. It’s also rich in antioxidants and has gentle antibacterial properties—making it a superstar for supporting healthy, glowing skin.
When paired with beeswax, honey helps nourish, protect, and restore the skin’s natural barrier.
