The efficacy and role of honey skin care

Many people know that honey has skin care effects. Many beauty experts recommend drinking a cup of honey water every morning, which can have the effect of moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movements. As long as the stomach and intestines are smooth, the excretion function will be normal, which can play a role in metabolism, thus reflecting on the human face and reducing the deposition of facial pigments. In fact, honey can not only be used for internal conditioning, but also has a good effect on external skin care.

Skin care benefits of honey

1. Moisturize the skin

People's faces and other parts of the body are exposed to the elements and are often dry and dull on the surface, especially for those with dry skin. During spring, autumn and dry seasons, the skin surface feels dry and dehydrated, lacks luster and elasticity, and sometimes even has dandruff, making people look haggard. The key to resolving this phenomenon is to prevent the evaporation and loss of moisture from the epidermis and to replenish moisture in time. Honey has strong moisturizing properties and can absorb moisture from the air. It can not only effectively prevent the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the epidermis, but also, under certain conditions, replenish the moisture needed by the skin. After taking a bath or washing your face, apply an appropriate amount of honey (or add an appropriate amount of olive oil or other auxiliary materials) on the skin surface of the face or other parts of the skin. After gently massaging, the effective ingredients of honey can penetrate into the skin, play a role in nourishing the skin, and make the skin become tender, moisturized, shiny and elastic. In winter, the skin becomes dry and cracked. Applying some honey can prevent dryness and cracking.

2. Clean the skin

Due to the influence of natural and human factors, the surface of human skin is often polluted to varying degrees. In addition, the deposition of secretions on the surface of the human body creates conditions for the reproduction of bacteria. It is extremely susceptible to erosion and harm by certain bacteria and dirt, causing the surface of the skin such as the face to become unclean or certain lesions to occur. Honey has a strong bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. Applying a small amount of honey or beauty products made with honey and other auxiliary ingredients can effectively inhibit the infection and survival of bacteria on the skin surface, thereby protecting and cleansing the skin, and helping the skin to remain smooth, shiny and active.

3. Nourish your skin

The nutrients in honey are all natural nutrients. Its monosaccharides, vitamins, enzymes and other biologically active substances are easily absorbed by skin cells, which can effectively improve the nutritional status of the skin surface, make the skin delicate, maintain a natural rosy complexion, and help delay the aging of skin cells, thereby delaying or reducing wrinkles. Regular use of honey cosmetics can make the skin surface show natural charm, making people look extra beautiful and energetic.

Tips: When we use honey to care for our skin, we can use expired honey, which will still have a good effect. In this way, the expired honey can be utilized and not wasted. Expired honey can nourish the skin, moisturize it, and can also be made into a hair mask. Don't throw away expired honey, it is still useful.
