Honey has many virtues for the skin known for millennia. Its powers are such that it is now unanimous, especially to sublimate all types of skin, whether they are acne-prone, dehydrated, damaged, or mature.
A Swiss Army knife agent
Apitherapy, in other words the use of hive products for cosmetic purposes, is becoming more and more widespread around the world. It must be said that the products of the hive, and more particularly honey, are full of benefits. If we had to retain only one, it would be hydration, since honey deeply nourishes the skin, and is therefore essential for dry and dehydrated skin. But that's not all, since it also helps soothe redness, helps healing, and helps purify so-called problem skin.
Honey, perfect for homemade recipes
The craze for honey as a skin care is such that grandmothers' recipes based on the sweet substance are multiplying at high speed on social networks. Of course, we know the hot drinks intended to calm a cough or an irritated throat, but there are also recipes entirely devoted to the beauty of the skin. This is the case for hair removal, in particular, with a preparation made of sugar, water, and lemon in which it is advisable to add honey to help healing. But it is also possible to make your own moisturizing mask with a tablespoon of honey, a teaspoon of coconut oil or olive oil, and a spoon of plain yogurt. Enough to overcome the driest skin.
Star ingredient of cosmetics
Honey has not only become viral on social networks, or in DIY, it is also one of the most popular ingredients in cosmetics, to the point of having become the star of some labels. This is the case of Secrets de Miel, which offers treatments for the face, body, and hair, based on beehive products, including various and varied honeys, to make the whole family enjoy a maximum of virtues. But also brands Apicia and Api Sens, also specialized in apitherapy, as well as Burt's Bees and Honey Girl Organics internationally.
