Honey in cosmetology, its properties and effect

The beneficial qualities of honey allow it to be used in the cosmetics industry. It is 100% absorbed by the human body. Honey contains more than 300 chemical elements and compounds that have a positive effect on the skin:

• Vitamin B1 is involved in the functioning of the skin and maintaining its health.
• Vitamin B2 protects the epidermis from free radicals.
• Vitamin B6 moisturizes, heals and promotes cell renewal.
• Vitamin B3 effectively relieves inflammation, prevents acne formation, moisturizes and softens the skin.
• Vitamin C has healing properties, eliminates dry skin and accelerates collagen production.
• Zinc slows down skin aging and fights wrinkles.
• Polyphenols inhibit oxidative processes in epidermal cells.

The way honey affects the skin is explained by its ability to penetrate cell membranes and be absorbed without significant energy consumption.

Cosmetics with natural high-quality honey improve not only the appearance, but also the structure of the epidermis. Their regular use has the following effects:

• tightens pores;
• nourishes;
• moisturizes;
• removes wrinkles;
• relieves inflammation, eliminates pimples and blackheads;
• improves cellular respiration;
• tones the skin;
• rejuvenates;
• has an antioxidant effect;
• stimulates blood circulation, saturates cells with oxygen;
• promotes accelerated regeneration and tissue renewal;
• helps retain moisture in the skin and prevents dehydration;
• accelerates cell division.

Thanks to honey masks, the skin becomes lighter, cleansed and looks more toned. The elasticity of the epidermis increases significantly. The greatest results can be achieved by using products for aging or problematic skin with enlarged pores. Compositions prepared at home smooth out fine wrinkles and even out tone.

Honey is able to penetrate deep into pores and remove impurities from there. Thanks to this, it remains clean, soft and elastic for a long time. The antiseptic effect of compositions with honey is due to the fact that when it is combined with water, hydrogen peroxide is formed. This is a strong antimicrobial agent that effectively disinfects the skin, prevents acne and dries out existing inflammations. An equally useful property of honey is its ability to protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. This helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles and prevent premature aging.

Many people are interested in whether pure honey is good for facial skin? The answer to this question is yes. The easiest way to use honey on the face at home is to apply a thin layer of it with wet hands to the skin and massage it in a little with your fingertips. The mask is left to act for half an hour and washed off.

After the honey has been applied to the entire body, the palms are pressed firmly to the body and sharply torn off. Gradual patting with palms becomes sharper and stronger. Thus, the honey is driven into the skin and a thin layer of it remains on the surface. The procedure should not be performed for more than 5-10 minutes. Then the honey should be washed off with warm water and a washcloth and, after wiping dry, apply moisturizer to the skin.
