Organic
honey is well-known as an all-natural humectant- it attracts and helps
retain skin moisture, so it's a great natural choice for hydrating
skin. Choosing organic skin care products that contain honey can be
very beneficial to dry and itchy skin, because it really increases
moisture in the skin. Oily complexions are helped by honey as well, due
to it's ability to retain skin moisture and elasticity without drying,
as do more common skin care products that contain drying and potentially
harmful chemicals.
A
naturally potent antioxidant, organic honey is also beneficial when
taken internally. Yet it has powerfully protective benefits when used
topically on the skin either by itself or contained within an organic skin care regimen.
Antioxidants are Nature's free-radical-fighting powerhouses, and they
are plentiful in honey. Additionally, recent research has shown the
effectiveness of organic honey when used as a natural suncreen. It protects skin from sun damage that causes premature aging and wrinkles and can be a precursor to skin cancer.
Honey
also has powerful, natural anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties!
So it's an excellent all-natural facial and body cleanser
that detoxes and purifies your complexion, and leaves it moisturized
and smooth. Delicious, all-natural honey is also a natural soother of
skin. It's a wonderful skin-calming treat for everyone, but even more
beneficial for acne sufferers and people with extra-sensitive or
problem skin.
