Honey Skin Care
Honey is more than just a natural sweetener, as the popularity of honey skin care products shows. Its natural antimicrobial properties mean it can be good for your skin, too. Honey skin care products can help reduce the appearance of acne, psoriasis and eczema, while its exfoliating properties can smooth and soften skin to give a fresher and more youthful appearance.
What are the Best Honey Skin Care Brands?
Where To Buy Honey Skin Care Products
The CVS store stocks a wide variety of honey skin care products. Choose from natural moisturizers and serums, lip balms and body lotions. Burt's Bees moisturizing lip balm is a popular lip care product made with beeswax, and Eczema Honey's oatmeal body lotion helps soothe and soften dry skin.
Why Honey Is Good for Your Skin
A lot of people use honey as a substitute for sugar. However, unpasteurized honey has a lot of potential as a skin care product too. Honey can be used as:
A natural exfoliant
An antimicrobial agent
A wound treatment
An antiaging cream
Honey is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It can help nourish your skin and stave off the effects of aging. While honey won't help get rid of scars that have already formed, it may help with the wound-healing process. Using CVS manuka honey spot bandages could help reduce scarring and infection risk and promote healing.
How to Use Honey for Skin Care
Many honey skin care products are available on the market today. If you're looking for the maximum honey skin care benefits, look for a product containing raw honey. Manuka honey is a popular ingredient in natural skin care products.
Apply honey balms or moisturizing products to clean, dry skin. If you're using honey-based exfoliating products, massage them gently into your skin using a circular motion. Take care to avoid the eyes when exfoliating. Exfoliating removes dead skin, so it doesn't need to be done often. If you already use an exfoliating face wash, there's no need to exfoliate with a second scrub.
How to Store Honey Skin Care Products
Always read the label on any natural skin care products, whether they contain shea butter or honey. Store your skin care products according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always replace the lid or cap securely when the product isn't in use to prevent it from spoiling.
While honey is antimicrobial, once the product is opened it may still go bad. Check the label for any instructions about how long you can keep the product. Muchas cuidado de la piel products have a shelf life of 12 months once opened. Replace the product after this time as bacteria and other microorganisms can grow in tubs of opened makeup and skin care products.
