Author:  Marcia Kruger


Have you ever imagined using honey as moisturizer in your skincare? It is a little unusual, however, if your skin gets exposed to harsh environmental conditions you need to take a look at honey in a skincare moisturizer.

Environmental factors like chemicals, pollution and smoke, but the sun and wind are the two main reasons why your skin becomes dry and damaged. Because it feels rough and sore, you reach for the closest bottle of lotion and hope it helps.

Did you know that honey as an ingredient is good for you and your skin's health? It not only soothes your skin, it's also an effective skincare aid.

Honey as a moisturizer is nothing new. It has been around for centuries and used in natural skin care. Cleopatra used honey as moisturizer to keep her beauty undamaged.

That was then -- but, let's look at how honey is use as a natural moisturizer for your skin nowadays.

Because of those environmental factors, your skin has a hard time staying moisturized. Over exposure to the sun's damaging UV rays and strong winds diminish skin's natural oils leading to dry skin. Chemical ingredients in soaps also cause skin dryness.

Therefore, protecting your skin from environmental factors is important. Avoid too much direct sunlight, wear a hat and protective clothing and make sure you use mild, unscented soap.

So, using honey as moisturizer helps your skin dryness. But, not a regular honey...a natural substance called Active Manuka Honey which does more than just moisturize your skin.

This particular honey is obtained from the manuka bush thus the name manuka honey. Because of the presence of unique enzymes containing antibacterial properties, known as the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF), it's effective in healing skin sores and blemishes including acne and even more serious skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

This particular type of honey penetrates deeply into your skin to nourish, rejuvenate and to make it look younger and softer. And, because it's a strong antioxidant, it protects skin from damage caused by free radicals found in environmental pollutants.

Using this honey as moisturizer also supports the skin�s own cell renewal process. Because it promotes the production of collagen and elastin in your skin, the two proteins keep your skin firm, elastic and wrinkle-free.

So, go ahead and use honey as moisturizer on your skin. Not only will it moisturize your skin, it'll nourish, heal and keep your skin young-looking and radiant.
