Benefits of Manuka Honey for Skin
1. Collagen Production:
Manuka honey is naturally abundant in polyphenol antioxidants, these help protect skin from oxidative stress, an important factor in the aging process. These antioxidants also support the skin’s natural collagen production, leading to firmer, more elastic skin.
2. Anti-Aging Actions:
Manuka honey has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions, when used on the skin that can help with reducing and preventing acne, clearing blemishes and redness, fading scars, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Its unique actions are also beneficial in promoting skin regeneration, repair and giving your skin a more radiant appearance.
3. Anti-Wrinkle Effects:
Manuka honey has the ability to retain moisture, this helps to keep your skin hydrated and plump, and it may also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother complexion.
4. Moisturising:
Manuka honey naturally draws moisture into the skin and holds it there. This deep hydration helps to soothe dry, irritated skin, making it softer and more supple.
5. Healing Actions:
Manuka honey has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions, which can promote wound healing, whilst reducing the risk of infection. It is also effective in treating acne and reducing acne scars, promoting clearer, healthier skin.
6. Brightening Effect:
The addition of lemon juice in the mask helps to brighten the skin and even out skin tone, due to its high vitamin C content. This, combined with Manuka honey’s moisturising actions, can leave your skin looking radiant and refreshed.
Including a DIY Manuka honey face mask into your skincare routine is a simple and effective way to access the natural benefits of this incredible elixir.
