5 benefits of honey in skincare

Honey is nature's perfect ingredient for natural skincare! It has healing properties and the ability to soften, brighten, nourish, and clarify the skin.

1. Honey moisturizes and hydrates skin

Honey has natural humectant properties that make if effective at moisturizing. A humectant helps the skin retain or preserve moisture. The enzymes in honey allows it to penetrate deep into the skin layers, bringing hydration along with it. This can help plump, soften, and bring a natural radiant glow to the skin.

2. honey can help with signs of aging

Honey hydrates the skin which can make the skin more supple, making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable. Honey also contains antioxidants that help to fight free radicals. Free radicals are one of the major causes of premature skin aging.

3. honey is an effective cleanser and gentle exfoliator

Honey has natural antibacterial and exfoliating properties. These properties help to cleanse pores and remove deep down dirt and debris that may clog pores and contribute to skin issues.

4. honey may help lighten scars and

hyperpigmentation

I didn't know this, but honey contains a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. This gives honey mild lightening properties, which can help decrease scars from acne or dark spots from the sun over time. These properties make honey a great choice for people who struggle with a dull complexion and want to brighten the skin.

5. honey helps fight acne and breakouts

Honey's natural antibacterial properties and anti-inflammatory properties can help to decrease acne and skin breakouts. These properties may help reduce the bacteria and redness that are associated with pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.
