Benefits of honey for the skin

Sweeten up your beauty and skincare routine with Honey!

Today, I would like to share with you one of my favourite skincare knowledge. One of the most popular natural ingredients used to achieve that flawless skin,  HONEY.   

Before you spend your hard-earned money on all those anti-ageing, brightening and moisturising creams that do nothing to your skin. Try these easy, home-made remedies first. And remember, the main ingredient in all those over-priced skincare products are things we all can get naturally and unrefined. 

In ancient times, it is known that ancient queens like Cleopatra regularly applied a mixture of Milk and Honey to their face to keep the skin young-looking, radiant, and smooth.

Why is Honey Good for your Skin?

Honey is a nourishing ingredient for the body inside as well as the skin outside. If you have switched from sugar to honey in your tea, it is time to reap in its beauty benefits too. Honey not only nourishes and soothes your skin, but its anti-bacterial and hydrating properties rejuvenate it and help fade dark spots and blemishes.

Honey is known to have strong antioxidant and anti-microbial properties which help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun's rays supports the skin's ability to regenerate thereby exposing the lighter skin layer underneath, leaving your skin feeling silky soft, brighter and supple.

One of the most common natural skincare benefits with honey is related to its use in the treatment of acne and pimples. Honey absorbs impurities from the pores on the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent too.

There is a huge number of honey products in the market for hair care, baby care, skincare for sunscreen, hand lotions, facial scrubs and moisturisers. Unfortunately, most of these products are overpriced. If you love exotic skincare products and would not mind spending some money on them, go ahead and get yourself one of these products as they are based on natural ingredients too. But if you are not so eager on spending millions, you can easily make these products yourself and still get that exotic feeling and of course the same if not better effect than you would on more expensive products.
