Honey the sticky syrup that bees make when pollinating flowers,
is a sweet treatment for your skin. Honey is a natural antibacterial
antiseptic that can do wonders for your acne and acne scars.
Its
nutrients and minerals such as vitamin B, Iron, manganese, copper,
potassium and calcium when applied to your face, will give you a clear,
glowing complexion.
Honey can be used to treat a variety of other skin
problems such as rosacea, eczema, hyper pigmentation, psoriasis, wound scares; among others.
Honey has antibacterial agents that kill
bacteria and assist in healing. When applied directly to acne breakouts
or pimples honey will kill the infection causing germs and promote the
healing process. Thus reducing the appearance of more pimples, and
clearing up the existing ones. This begins the process for achieving
clear skin.
Gluconic acid found in honey is a natural PH regulator
and cleanser. When applied to your skin the acid works to brighten the
complexion by evening out skin tones, fading scars and
lighting age spots. Once neutralized your skin will have a fresh glowing
appearance.
The nutrients in honey act as a humectant to keep
skin moist. They draw moisture to the skin surface of the skin filling
in fine lines and wrinkles. This evens out the skin's appearance to make
it fresh and glowing.
When using honey for your skin, it is best
to use natural raw unprocessed honey to get the maximum benefits. When
honey is heated by pasteurization it can lose its anti-inflammatory
properties.
