Promotes Skin Health
Manuka honey may help your skin in several ways, especially if you have psoriasis or eczema. The benefits of manuka honey for skin health are well documented and are widely regarded as why New Zealand honey is becoming increasingly popular. The honey is rich in antioxidants, making it an excellent anti-aging product. In addition, it can enter skin cells, repair from within, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is due to its high amount of methylglyoxal, which aids in rebuilding damaged tissue.
A study found that applying manuka honey to the skin twice daily for four months improved the skin significantly. If you want to keep your skin as healthy as possible, try using it as an antiseptic on minor cuts and scrapes and use it as part of a facial mask once or twice weekly. It can also be used for chapped lips (either alone or mixed with coconut oil) and even under the eyes to reduce puffiness.
