Manuka Honey and Natural Skin Care


Honey has long been used for its amazing health benefits, both as a dietary supplement and topically on the skin. However, there are many different kinds of honey, predicated on the floral nectar source used by the bees that produce it. Honeybees gather as much floral nectar as they can carry and take it back to their hives where they add enzymes to it to produce honey. Nectar from different flowers can produce variations in the honey, effecting its color, flavor and medicinal qualities. It has been discovered that honey produced from the nectar of the Manuka flower (indigenous to New Zealand) has far more healing properties than any other type of honey in the world.

Manuka Honey contains very powerful particular antibacterial properties and higher level of natural proteins, vitamins and minerals than any other type of honey.

It also defends the skin from further damages making it an excellent, natural ingredient in skin care products.

Manuka Honey’s ability to absorb and retain moisture also make it an ideal ingredient in skin care products as it helps to keep skin hydrated. In fact, history shows that ancient beauties such as Cleopatra regularly applied a mixture of honey and milk to the face to keep their skin looking young, radiant and smooth. Honey’s natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties protect the skin from the damage of the sun’s rays while supporting the skin’s ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin. Honey is also effective in treating acne absorbing impurities from the pores of the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent.

The most important part of anti-aging skin care lies in the antioxidant protection that can be provided through natural ingredients. Manuka Honey has more antioxidants than any other honey, making it extremely valuable for skin care. It also helps the formation of stronger collagen, makes the skin firmer and assists in the cell renewal process, making the skin appear more youthful. It has the ability to penetrate deeply into the depth of skin tissue and helps to protect the skin against damage from free radicals. Manuka honey is also especially effective in healing infections, acne, psoriasis, ringworm, eczema, wounds and scars. Its healing properties nourish and moisturize the skin.

The Latest Discovery in Skin Care

A unique type of honey known as Manuka Honey is now being used as a natural healing ingredient in skin care products as an alternative to less desirable synthetic ingredients.

If you haven't heard of Manuka Honey until now, you will begin to hear more about it in the future. As reports of its effectiveness swarm the globe, manufacturers are jumping on the band wagon by utilizing this natural resource in their skin care products. Manuka Honey has proven to be extremely effective in treating skin conditions such as acne, burns, eczema, fungal infections, bacterial infections, etc. Manuka Honey hydrates the skin while dehydrating bacterial cells, efficiently healing infection. It also has an uncanny ability to heal damaged skin and regenerate new skin growth.

What is Manuka Honey? In the beautiful, pollution-free fields of New Zealand, the Manuka bush grows wild across the countryside. This indigenous bush spawns beautiful pink and white flowers that contain an extraordinary nectar used by honeybees to produce honey. The bees take this nectar back to their hives where they add enzymes to it and produce this special type of honey that has become quite a commodity as of late. Its not the bees that are so special, rather than the nectar from the Manuka bush that possess the notable healing properties.

Manuka Honey's biggest claim to fame is its ability to eradicate the MRSA bacterium that is responsible for causing life-threatening Staph infections. Researchers have reason to believe that Manuka Honey has up to 30 times more antibacterial activity than other types of honey. Manuka Honey's anti-inflammatory properties is useful for individuals who have sensitive skin. By osmosis, Manuka Honey draws impurities out of the pores of the skin as well as moisture from unwanted microorganisms, forcing them to shrivel up and die.

There is scientific evidence suggesting that Manuka Honey is effective in treating unsightly spots called Molluscum Contagiosum. Manuka Honey is also a hundred times more effective as an anti-inflammatory agent than hydrocortisone for the treatment of eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Recent studies have also shown that Manuka Honey is effective for the treatment of cold sores (herpes simplex) and can be applied to soothe sun burnt skin. The medicinal applications are endless when using Manuka Honey topically on the skin.

In addition to its medical use, it's also important to know that Manuka Honey contains a high content of antioxidants that rejuvenate, nourish and repair the skin for a younger, smoother look. It helps the skin in cellular renewal and in the growth of collagen and skin elasticity. When used on the skin, Manuka Honey has the ability to reduce sensitivity, inflammation and itching associated with some skin disorders.

"Unlike some synthetic ingredients, Manuka Honey is effective in treating certain skin conditions without the negative side effects," says Frank Buonanotte, CEO of Honeymark International which is a manufacturer of Manuka Honey skin care products. "Instead of harsh chemicals that have a tendency to dry the skin, Manuka Honey uses its natural antibacterial properties to kill unwanted bacteria and clear the skin of impurities."
