Importance Of Honey In Skin Care

During the 18th century honey was used as skin care products, hair treatment products and other cosmetics. Aside from being a natural beauty formulation, this nature’s offering turned out to be an antimicrobial agent! All-natural honey turned out to be a useful treatment for minor abrasions and burns. And also it works as moisturizer and it was good for babies, because of its anti-irritant properties. Generally antioxidants play a role in protecting the skin from the damage of UV rays and in aiding in skin rejuvenation. Honey is a very ideal ingredient in skin care products that ward off the UV ray’s damaging effect. Not only that honey can create alpha hydroxy acids. AHAs or Alpha hydroxyl acids are an important ingredient since it helps in exfoliating the skin or renewal of skin cells. Skin gives off a younger and vibrant glow whenever there is an increased exfoliation of the skin

So you can use all-natural honey in lots of ways! For a perfumed and silky bathing experience, add ¼ cup of honey to your bath water. To attain shiny hair, you should stir 1 teaspoon of honey into 4 cups of warm water. If you are a fair-haired, adding a squeeze of lemon is a good move, too. Your mixture should be poured through your hair after shampooing. Do not rinse it out and dry out your hair through normal means. You can also have a moisture mask by mixing 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 teaspoons of milk. Smooth the mixture over your face and throat and leave it on for about 10 mins. Then rinse off with warm water. By mixing 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and ¼ teaspoon lemon, you already have a smoothing skin lotion to apply on dry parts of your skin. And also you can also have a honey cleansing scrub by mixing 1 tablespoon honey with 2 tablespoons of finely ground almonds and ½ teaspoon lemon juice. Always keep in mind to rinse off with warm water.
