Manuka Honey and Anti Aging Benefits
05-02-2020
Life in the time of a pandemic was forced me to slow down and consider new ways to support the skin care needs of women while we are all stuck at home. We’ve run campaigns with a clinical aspect, such as micro-needling with Glycolic Acid or Hyaluronic Acid, for our online customers. We’ve offered deals on a variety of products, but it came to mind that it was important to offer an Enzyme Mask that is clean & green, meaning no parabens, perfumes, or other nasty hidden ingredients that cause more damage than good.
I am really excited about the benefits that this newly formulated product can
offer. I know that it is going to be a great help with aging, sensitive, and acne-prone
skin across the board. Here's why:
Benefits of Using Manuka Honey:
Most fans of honey will know that it contains antibacterial properties and can
therefore be used to treat a number of issues. Most types of honey contain
hydrogen peroxide, but manuka honey contains high concentrations of another
antibacterial compound, methylglyoxal, that give it even stronger antibiotic
properties. It also has about 4 times the concentration of vitamins and
minerals as regular honey. These include magnesium, iron, copper, selenium,
potassium, zinc, selenium, and potassium.
Manuka honey has several beautiful benefits for the skin:
Acne fighting: Due to its antibacterial properties, manuka honey is very
effective at drawing out bacteria from clogged pores and clearing out
breakouts. It’s also anti-inflammatory, so it reduces the redness and inflamed
skin that often accompanies acne and breakouts. Use as a cleanser or mask to
reap these benefits!
Promotes healing: The honey is known to repair damage at the cellular level and
promote skin regeneration. It’s even used in the medical field to treat cuts
and wounds due to its ability to speed up the healing process.
Anti-aging: Manuka honey has an abundance of antioxidants that work to fight
off free radical damage. It’s also extremely moisturizing, so skin looks smooth
and stays wrinkle-free.
