One of the best ingredients I have found recently to achieve beautifully hydrated, young and healthy looking skin is Active Manuka honey.
A honey facial has done so much for my complexion in just a short period of time, and it can transform your face from tired and dull to bright, glowing and glorious in just a few applications of the right product.
Why is a honey facial so good? A manuka honey face gel is fantastic for your skin for many reasons.
In fact, honey itself has been used since ancient times for its wonderful skin healing properties.
Today, scientists have discovered that it is due to special enzymes that are packed with antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
Clinical tests have proven that honey gathered from the manuka bush, which grows in New Zealand, has even greater healing abilities for the skin due to the presence of a unique antibacterial property, known as the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) which is not found in most types of honey.
Using a facial mask that only uses genuine Active UMF manuka honey will give you the full, special health-giving properties to cleanse and hydrate your skin.
What does manuka honey face gel do for your skin? When applied topically, a manuka honey facial product has been proven to aid the skin's cell renewal process, stimulates the formation of stronger collagen, the protein in skin responsible for elasticity and suppleness, and provides the body with natural antioxidants that protect against skin damaging free radicals.
These antioxidants are found in much higher levels in active manuka honey than other honey facial products and also stimulates the immune system.
Because manuka honey face gel penetrates deeply, it nourishes and rejuvenates your skin and you look younger and softer.
It is also fantastic for healing blemishes like acne or eczema and psoriasis.
If you want to look young, beautiful and have a fully hydrated and glowing complexion, I would highly recommend you to try a honey facial mask that specifically uses honey derived from the manuka bush.
