Active Manuka Honey In Skincare – Get The Surprising Facts
Honey has been used in skincare for centuries, as witnessed by the recipes that Cleopatra used, mixing it with oatmeal, lemon juice. Now active manuka honey which comes from New Zealand is even better and the University of Waikato has a whole department dedicated to research on this wonderful substance.

It can be used to heal wounds. It is useful in fighting hospital bugs because it has the amazing ability to bind together with water thus depriving the bacteria of vital moisture. It also has glucose oxidase which can help the body to produce the hydrogen peroxide, which is a natural disinfectant.

Now as regards skincare, active manuka honey has a lot going for it. When you consider the following, you will see why it is such a prized ingredient :-

1.      It can help your skin to produce more HA (hyaluronic acid) which is essential to keep skin smooth. It can absorb up to 3,000 times its weight of water thus making it a great moisturizer.

2.      It is full of antioxidants because it contains lots of special enzymes and it can help to fight off the free radicals which in turn helps to maintain the production of new skin cells.

3.      The active manuka honey is unique for two reasons. One is that scientists have discovered that it has a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) which is the name for its antibacterial properties.

4.      It is unique in that it is produced in a totally pristine environment. As the manuka bush grows far from radiation, industries and intensive farming, that means it is absolutely free of any contaminants, toxins and so on. That is not to be underestimated.

Manuka honey products are much sought after in the western world, for the reasons I have mentioned above and it is quite an expensive item but worth every penny when you consider its wide ranging properties.

As regards skincare, a company in New Zealand has patented a special form of this for its skincare products and it has revolutionized the cosmetics industry. All the active antioxidant and moisturizing qualities are still maintained in the processing and great care is taken to ensure that no contaminants get into it while that work is being done.

Why not find out how active manuka honey when mixed with other rather special natural and organic ingredients can help you to turn your skin around in just a few weeks?
