Honey has been used since ancient times for skin care and beauty products and that is not a secret.

We see some growing interest in the study of honey for its cosmetic properties and we believe the main reason for this surge is because honey being a natural product can comfortably compete with artificial products used by the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.

Here are 5 reasons why honey is such an adversary to artificial and chemical products:

1. Organic Honey Has Antioxidants

Antioxidants found in honey are a nutrient complex with a key role in reducing the toxic effects of free radicals, helping the body to not destroy its cells. They have the ability to stop the oxidation of other substances.

Scientific evidence shows us that honey contains a wide range of antioxidants like quercetin, caffeic acids, kaempferol, pinocembrin, apigenin, acacetin, chrysin, and galangin.

2. Hydrating Effect

Honey is such a good moisturizing agent due to its high content in fructose and glucose which prevents the water to evaporate.

Applied directly on your skin, honey forms a protective shield that keeps the water inside and all the bad things outside.

The presence of amino acids helps the natural moisturizing factors of the outer layer of your skin.

3. Cleansing Virtues

It’s a fact that honey is an antibacterial agent, a fungicide, and attracts water from the surrounding air.

These unique properties of honey nurture and protect your skin and you can use them to make soaps, bath, and shower homemade products, face creams, and lotions.

4. Easy To Apply

You can apply honey in its natural form without any additional ingredients.

Raw honey quickly penetrates the epidermis to feed the tissue and is assimilated fast.

5. Promotes Skin And Hair Rejuvenation

Honey maintains the mildly acid ph of your upper protective skin layer.

Most hair shampoos are alkaline, so they destroy your natural scalp acidity which dries out your skin and may provoke irritations.

Washing off that shampoo from your hair with simple honey mixed with water will give your hair elasticity, firmness, and a glossy look.
