Honey
Raw honey is an amazing natural beauty solution for all skin types because of its healing
skin benefits. It does wonders for a wide variety of skin ailments including:
Rosacea
Eczema
Hyperpigmentation
Sensitive, mature, and dull lifeless skin
With its natural pH level of 4.5, raw honey falls within skin’s naturally healthy pH range.
Its antiseptic and antimicrobial properties make it great for healing cuts and burns by
killing bacteria and fungus. Raw honey also contains gluconic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy
acid that brightens the complexion, evens out skin tone, and lightens scars and age spots.
Depending on where the honey is collected from, it contains many nutrients and minerals
excellent for skin health such as vitamin B, iron, manganese, copper, potassium and
calcium. It also acts as humectant drawing moisture to the skin and is perfect as a gentle
cleansing solution for even very sensitive skin. When mixed with water, honey releases
peroxide properties which helps heal acne and impede bacterial growth causing more
acne.
