A Multipurpose Product!

You probably have already heard of the amazing health benefits of manuka honey for the body. Yet, the benefits are not merely limited to the inside of your body. In fact, honey has miraculous benefits for the skin and hair as well. In this article, discover the amazing things that honey can do for your hair and skin.

Benefits For Skin And Honey!

#1 Deep Moisturization

There is a reason why many skincare products feature honey as their star ingredient. It has amazing moisturizing properties! Because of the number of enzymes within the honey, it allows the honey to penetrate deep into the various layers of your skin which helps to condition, nourish and soften the skin from deep within. On top of this, honey is a natural humectant. This means that it helps to absorb moisture from the environment. Once its absorbed, the humectant also locks in the hydration. Using honey on your skin can do wonders for dry skin!

To use, apply high-quality honey on your dry skin and rinse it off with cold water after 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, try out the honey face mask recipes down below.

#2 Hair Conditioning

Similar to your skin, your hair also requires proper conditioning. This prevents frizz and split ends, amongst other hair problems. Since honey is a natural humectant, it is an effective conditioner, keeping your hair, shiny, smooth and bouncy.

To apply honey to your hair, dilute raw honey. In the shower, simply apply the mixture to damp, shampooed hair. Leave the honey for 5-10 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. Alternatively, find out how to make a hair mask in the link down below.

#3 Gently Cleanse The Scalp

Typical store-bought shampoos could be harmful to you, given the numerous harsh chemicals within them. One great way to avoid damage from chemicals whilst still thoroughly cleansing the scalp is to use honey. It also soothes scalp conditions such as itchiness and dandruff, whilst moisturizing it. Mix a tablespoon of honey with three tablespoons of filtered water. Simply massage a few drops of this mixture into your scalp and wash it off after a couple of minutes.

#4 Cuticle Treatment

Honey can be nourishing for the face, but those same properties are great spectacular for delicate cuticles. It draws moisture to the nails and helps to soften rough skin. Applying honey to your cuticles could even be a good idea before a manicure to prep the skin!

To apply honey to your skin, mix a teaspoon of honey, coconut oil and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Use the solution to gently massage the cuticles. After 10 minutes, rinse off the solution with warm water to reveal softened cuticles.

#5 Heal Wounds

Honey has amazing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that you may not have expected. Additionally, the antioxidant and antiseptic properties of honey help aid in skin repair. That means that burns, cuts, acne, eczema and any other skin condition can be treated with honey.

To apply honey to burns and wounds, apply a thin layer of honey over the affected area and cover it with a gauze dressing. Alternatively, mix honey with neem oil or tea tree oil, and apply the mixture over the affected area.

#6 Reduce Hair Loss

Hair sheds daily as a part of the natural growth cycle, so there’s usually nothing much to be concerned about. However, some people find that their hair sheds more than normal. If this is you, honey can be the best natural option for you.  

#7 Use Honey For Hair Breakage

Keratin is an essential protein that adds structure and strength to your hair. Protein treatments are a popular part of modern hair routines and can help to restore weak and brittle strands. Honey contains roughly 0.5 per cent. This may not seem like a lot, but it can be beneficial in combination with the other vitamins and minerals honey contains.
