Review of Honeymark Products

The following is a comprehensive overview of the high-end skin care products manufactured by Honeymark, and the role that Manuka Honey plays as a natural healing ingredient.

If you have never heard of Manuka Honey, expect to be hearing about it in the future. It could very well be one of the most beneficial substances in the world to put on your skin. Studies have shown that Manuka Honey contains natural antimicrobial properties that eliminate infectious microorganisms, moisturize dry skin and reduce inflammation.

Despite all of its amazing healing properties, Manuka Honey is sometimes not used because its sticky consistency makes for an inconvenient skin care regimen. However, Boston-based manufacturer, Honeymark International, has developed a line of skin care products containing Manuka Honey that are a lot more user-friendly. Research shows that Manuka Honey can be diluted up to 100 times and still maintain its effectiveness. Therefore, blending it together with other natural ingredients does not diminish it's healing potency.

Acne Cream

There are several different types of acne. Blackheads are the result of oil and dead cells getting trapped in a pore where they block the duct and mix with bacteria. They then turn black when exposed to air. Red pimples develop when blackheads become inflamed and they spread when touched with dirty hands. When the pimple becomes infected, it develops a whitehead or pustule. These can break and cause scars.

Manuka Honey has been found to be effective in treating acne for several reasons. There is no better substance for eliminating bacteria on the surface of the skin than Manuka Honey. Its antibacterial properties are second to none. It also has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for the bacteria to survive. Therefore, Manuka Honey's antibacterial activity destroys the bacteria and its osmotic effect helps to draw the bacteria and other impurities out of the pores of the skin. It's anti-inflammatory effect reduces the inflammation associated with some forms of acne, which in turn eliminates the redness. Manuka Honey also stimulates the formation of certain proteins in the skin that can help to reduce scarring, repair damaged skin and regenerate new healthy skin growth.

Manuka Honey is also hygroscopic which means it draws moisture from the air and puts it into skin cells where it moisturizes. Unlike many acne products that have a tendency to dry the skin, Manuka honey has a moisturizing effect. You can use Manuka honey as a spot treatment by dabbing it on existing breakouts or you can use Honeymark's Acne Cream which contains Manuka Honey.

Anti-Wrinkle Serum

Wrinkles are a by-product of the aging process. With age, skin cells divide more slowly, and the inner layer, called the dermis, begins to thin. The network of elastin (the protein which causes skin to stretch) and collagen fibers (the major structural proteins in the skin), which support the outer layer, loosen and unravel, causing depressions on the surface. With aging, skin also loses its elasticity, is less able to retain moisture, oil-secreting glands are less efficient and the skin is slower to heal. All of these contribute to the development of wrinkles.

Manuka Honey is effective in reducing wrinkles and the appearance of aging because it has the ability to increase the production of elastin and collagen fibers. In addition to Manuka Honey, Honeymark's Anti-Wrinkle Serum also contains other natural ingredients that have a firming effect on the skin.

First Aid Antiseptic Lotion

Manuka Honey has an antibacterial activity that is impressing medical professionals around the world. By osmosis, it has the ability to draw moisture out of bacterial cells. It also contains antibacterial compounds such as methylglyoxal and UMF. Manuka Honey also creates an acidic environment not conducive for the formation of bacteria. All of these factors make Manuka Honey ideal for healing infections. In fact, its antibacterial properties are so powerful, it is also used to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE.

Manuka Honey can be used effectively to treat wounds, burns, blisters and infections. Even hard to heal conditions such as skin ulcers, pressure sores, surgical and chronic wounds are no match for the incredible healing powers of Manuka Honey. Wound care products such as Honeymark's First Aid Antiseptic Lotion and Antiseptic Spray are also a good option because they are not sticky.

Anti-Fungal Cream

In addition to its impressive antibacterial properties, Manuka Honey also contains strong anti-fungal properties. Fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock-itch, tinea and nail fungus can all be treated with Manuka Honey. However, its viscous consistency makes it impractical to use topically on some of these conditions. Honeymark's Anti-Fungal Cream is a more viable solution.

Anti-Itch Cream

Eczema is a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the outer layer of the skin (epidermis ). As discussed above, Manuka Honey's anti-inflammatory properties help to alleviate this inflammation, reverting skin back to its original form. Manuka Honey has the ability to both repair damaged skin and regenerate new skin growth. It's moisturizing ability also removes the dry patches associated with eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Try Honeymark's Anti-Itch Cream to take advantage of Manuka Honey's ability to treat this condition.

Medicinal Uses for Manuka Honey

Manuka honey is a type of honey derived from the Leptospermum scoparium plant, indigenous to New Zealand. It has been found to have healing properties not found in other types of honey and is used in a variety of health care products and home remedies because of its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Pain Relief

Manuka honey can be used to treat pain because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Manuka honey can penetrate the skin and help with arthritic pain, stiffness, muscle pain and joint pain. Manuka honey contains glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate, which are anti-inflammatory agents. These two anti-inflammatory agents stimulate the production of cartilage components, which are essential for joint repair and pain relief, and also decrease inflammation.

Wound Care

Manuka honey is helpful in treating wounds by allowing dead skin to lift off the wound. Manuka honey has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties which help in treating infection. It decreases inflammation in the wound, which helps to reduce the amount of leakage as well. Manuka honey actively stimulates the healing process so skin grafting is not necessary.

Wrinkles

Manuka honey also helps with the reduction and prevention of wrinkles. It is naturally moisturizing and contains vitamins and antioxidants that are beneficial to helping maintain the elasticity and texture of the skin. Manuka honey helps with the texture of the skin because it produces collagen and aids in skins elasticity. The antimicrobial properties of Manuka Honey help to protect skin from free radicals and damage from the sun, which can also lead to premature aging of the skin.

Younger Skin with Manuka Honey

Honey, an old remedy for wrinkles, has powerful anti-aging properties that can take years away from your appearance. Honey has amazing effects on the skin. However, before you run to the store and buy a massive amount of the sticky stuff to rub all over your face, it is important to know that not all honey is created equal. The best honey to use for aging skin is Manuka Honey from New Zealand because it contains more vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants than other types of honey. It also contains healing properties that help restore and rejuvenate skin cells.

Raw Manuka Honey is packed with active enzymes while most ordinary honey is pasteurized and dead. Manuka Honey is known as the best honey to use for anti-aging purposes and is the only honey that contains scientifically proven healing properties for skin health.

Manuka honey is derived from the nectar of the Manuka bush which is indigenous to New Zealand. Scientists have discovered that this truly is the best honey for aging skin because it supports the body's renewal of skin cells and helps to form collagen, which is a powerful skin protein vital for preventing wrinkles and other effects of aging. Manuka Honey is also packed full of powerful antioxidants which offset free radical skin damage, one of the primary causes of aging appearance, wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots.

If the thought of putting honey on your skin is not appealing, there are anti-aging products available that contain Manuka Honey. These products offer all of the same benefits of using pure Manuka Honey without the sticky mess. They also contain other natural ingredients that have a firming effect on the skin to help reduce the appearance of aging.
