THE BENEFITS OF HONEY FOR THE SKIN - IN SHAPE

10 good reasons why you should always have a jar of honey in your vanity case!

Natural and excellent for sweetening food and drinks, honey can also become an excellent ally for your beauty. Moisturizing, energizing, anti-acne and much more: this precious food produced by the industriousness of bees, hides multiple benefits for the skin, hair and even lips.

Which? Here they are in detail.

Moisturizing

Thanks to its hygroscopic property (i.e. the ability to absorb and retain water), honey is an excellent moisturizer that deeply nourishes the skin. To make the most of this feature, you can heat a little honey in a water bath and spread two teaspoons on the skin of the face, like a normal moisturizer.

Antibacterial

Honey acts as a real shield at the service of the skin, protecting it from the aggression of atmospheric agents and many dangerous microorganisms.

Exfoliating

To remove dead cells and restore radiance and health to the skin, nothing better than a scrub. By mixing honey with brown sugar, baking soda and a few drops of lemon you will get a very valid and natural one.

For relaxing foot baths

If you arrive home in the evening tired and with sore feet perhaps because you have been wearing heels all day, nothing better than a foot bath! If you then dissolve two tablespoons of honey in hot water, you will have a guaranteed relaxing and softening effect.

Smoothing

Honey, thanks to the antioxidant substances it contains, is an excellent anti-aging agent to counteract the action of free radicals and, consequently, also the aging process of the skin and tissues.

Anti-acne

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action, honey keeps the external agents responsible for acne "at bay", and can therefore be used to counteract the appearance of pimples and blackheads.

For lips to kiss

Honey is one of the most popular remedies for taking care of chapped lips. If there are small cuts on the lips, honey will help heal them and carry out a curative action, thanks to its antibacterial properties.

Toning and anti-cellulite

Even if it may seem strange to you, honey helps fight cellulite from the inside. Consuming it instead of sugar is the winning choice to take advantage of its diuretic action, effective against water retention, and its ability to stimulate intestinal functions.

Polishing

Finally, honey is also an excellent remedy for dull and dull hair. To make a good honey conditioner, just boil 250 ml of water and add 2 tablespoons of honey as soon as it cools. Then leave the mixture on the hair for half an hour and continue with the normal shampoo.
