Honey is proven to be effective to use in skincare for many different skin problems, and the skin care companies aren't late to catch on the trends.
But can skin care products with processed honey actually do any difference? Let's take a look at what you should think about.
1.
Look out for scary ingredients A facial mask or a moisturizer with honey in it can be good for your skin, unless the product is packed with harmful ingredients.
I see questionable ingredients like mineral oil, parabens, alcohol, fragrances and dioxanes in skin care products all the time, even in the ones who have words like natural and organic on the label.
Stay away from products that are not completely natural, and both your skin and health will be a lot safer.
2.
What kind of honey is it? There's a difference between honey and honey.
While regular honey has a few benefits, other types of honey like Active Manuka Honey from New Zealand contains a lot more health-giving properties for the skin.
3.
How is it processed? If the honey is completely cooked and processed there won't be many benefits left in the honey, on the other hand if it is carefully converted to the skin care product, it can keep all the positive qualities.
Look for companies that can tell you exactly what has happened to the honey.
A manuka honey face gel or a hydrating face mask with Active Manuka Honey in it has many beneficial properties like: -Anti Aging Effects - The honey's antioxidants work for firmer skin and less wrinkles.
-Healing - It is proven to heal anything from blemishes to acne, eczemas and psoriasis.
-Nourishing - By moisturizing deeply and soothing the skin is rejuvenated and gets softer and younger-looking.
