Honey-based facial treatment against acne
Honey: one of the most delicious products of natural origin. With a yellow ocher colour, considered in the past to be the nectar of the gods, it is one of the foods present in our everyday life that is difficult to resist. An infallible elixir for your facial treatment.
Not only is it an energy food containing very little sugar, but it is also a highly versible product.
It is able to provide benefits to the entire organism (just think of the effects on the heart, liver, blood, bones, muscles, digestive and respiratory systems), but it is also a great ally for our external beauty.
In fact, its main sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose) make its active ingredient useful in the preparation of cosmetics with a restorative and emollient action. Furthermore, polyphenols and flavonoids are excellent allies for the creation of anti-aging and firming products, as they have an antioxidant and elasticising action.
Honey is one of the main ingredients in cosmetics for dry and chapped skin. In addition to being an excellent emollient and softener, it is perfect because it hydrates the skin deeply and is considered a natural humectant, capable of attracting and retaining water.
The honey facial treatment is also excellent for oily skin: its previously known properties ensure that it hydrates the skin without drying it. Its emollient action also makes it useful for fighting pimples and acne problems.
Not surprisingly, there are many masks DIY with honey as the main ingredient.
They are famous face masks with a purifying action for oily and impure skin, against acne and nourishing skin.
As already mentioned, being rich in antioxidants and enzymes, the facial treatment is also a perfect natural anti-aging: it is able to regenerate and tone the skin, preserving its elasticity and slowing down aging.
In short, a natural product truly suitable for everyone! In fact, last but not least, having a soothing and nourishing action, it is perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive and allergic-prone skin.
The treatment is perfect for creating a body scrub, for chapped lips, but also for a relaxing foot bath.
It is also present in many after-sun products as it is able to attenuate inflammatory phenomena caused by UV rays by accelerating the regeneration of the lining epithelia. Let's not forget that, in association with beeswax, it is used for the preparation of depilatory waxes!
However, let's not forget that in addition to the body, honey also has excellent properties for the hair!
It is perfect for nourishing weak and brittle hair, creating compresses with olive oil, but also for restoring shine to hair, combining it with hot water and a few drops of lemon.
