It is said that Cleopatra used honey and milk to keep her skin soft, radiant and smooth. At first, the benefits of honey as a beauty treatment may seem like romanticized stories. By looking at honey through a scientific perspective, we can begin to understand how and why it benefits the skin.

Honey contains natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. They help to help fight chemicals (i.e. free radicals) and microorganisms that lead to tissue degeneration and inflammation.

Manuka honey in particular is an excellent agent for hydrating skin because of its chemical makeup which allows it to absorb and retain moisture. It also works beneath the skin’s surface to increase collagen production which promotes the regeneration of new skin and improves overall firmness and elasticity.

Beautiful skin is achieved inside and out. Manuka honey is perfect for this. Not only can be used as moisturizers and facials. It can also be consumed. The vitamins and antioxidants present in Manuka honey help contribute to radiant skin by working internally.
