Honey Skin Care Products

Do honey skin care products contain scientifically-proven healing properties for the skin?

Since ancient times, honey is a natural product that has been used on skin for its amazing healing properties. Honey contains special enzymes that have antioxidant and antibacterial properties that are proven to be beneficial in skin care.

Honey and... Manuka Honey

In recent years, specific types of honey have been proven to have a higher skin related healing ability over some other types of honey. A type of honey only sourced in New Zealand and gathered from the uncultivated Manuka bush, has been found to have a unique antibacterial property present. This has even been given a special name by scientists… Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). The Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) is not even found in all types of Manuka honey so it is important when looking at ingredients of honey based skin care products that you note this.

Science and Research

Scientists working at New Zealand's Waikato University have carried out extensive research and the documented results show that using honey topically, applying to the skin, will support the cell renewal process and assist in forming stronger Collagen. Collagen is the protein that exists in skin and that is responsible for the skins elasticity.

In addition to that, honey also contains natural types of antioxidants that will protect skin against the damage caused by free radicals.

This research has also discovered that the New Zealand Active Manuka honey has the higher levels of antioxidants over and above any other types of honey and that it stimulates our immune system. When applied to the skin the honey can penetrate deep into the skin, nourishing and rejuvenating it, making it look softer and younger.

Active Manuka honey skin care products have the additional benefits of being effective in the healing of skin blemishes, acne, and more seriously in assisting in the fight against skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.

Active Manuka Honey

Indigenous only to New Zealand, the Manuka bush nectar that’s gathered to make Manuka honey goes through a process of cleansing and decontamination that ensures quality and purity.

The pure Manuka honey that contains the antibacterial and antimicrobial property called Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) has been verified to contain the level of 10 UMF or higher and is therefore given a rating that is referred to as ‘Active’. This is a unique type of honey that you can only get from New Zealand and an important factor when looking for quality results in honey skin care products.

Xtend-life, New Zealand

Xtend-life are a New Zealand company that only use genuine Active UMF Manuka honey in their skin care products because of the specific health properties that it provides for the skin.

In Conclusion

Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) has been proven to have significant effects on improvements to the condition and the health of your skin. Active Manuka honey should be part of the ingredients list of the products you buy for skin care.
