Mānuka honey has become extremely popular in the skin care market for how well it can help atopic dermatitis, inflammation, acne, skin rashes and more.

Cosmetic companies spend millions of dollars developing and marketing the latest chemicals to heal and rejuvenate the skin. Sometimes, cutting edge isn’t what your skin needs.

We’d like to kick it old school and look at one of nature’s oldest beauty secrets… Honey!

Honey has been used since ancient times to treat conditions both inside the body and repair the skin. But, not all honey is created equal.

Manuka Honey is quickly becoming a staple to skin care regimens. Here’s why:

1. Moisturize, Nourish and Repair Your Skin

You feed your body every day to stay health. Shouldn’t you feed your skin the nutrients it needs to look and feel its best?

Manuka Honey provides a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, beta-carotene, enzymes and packed with antioxidants. Pretty awesome.

Unlike most lotions, which sit on the surface of your skin and trap moisture in, Manuka Honey draws moisture into your skin. These healing fluids and nutrients create a natural thin layer of moisture to promote healing and cell repair. Since it works with your skin’s natural biology, it’s suited for all skin types.

No, honey is not a time machine, but it can help make you look younger. Anti-aging is achieved by boosting collagen production while improving cellular regeneration, smoothness and texture. Enjoy results you can see and feel.

Scientific research shows that the antioxidant properties of Manuka honey also help protect you against free radical damage. Free radicals are responsible for a number of health issues, including cell damage and accelerated aging.

3. Bye-Bye Bacteria! Manuka Honey Out-Performs Antibiotics in Studies

Manuka Honey has been shown to treat conditions previous thought incurable, even the flesh eating bacteria MRSA. For years doctors have overprescribed antibiotics. Way to go, guys. As a result, scientists now fear a possible medical catastrophe of resistant superbugs. Nothing was able to treat them… until now?

A few factors make it so powerful in fighting infection. One of Manuka Honey’s weapons against bacteria is Glucose Oxidase, which is a chemical that allows hydrogen peroxide to form in nature.

Sugar also plays an important roll in fighting infections. Bacteria has a hard time reproducing in high levels of sugar. When the sugar and water combine in Manuka Honey, bacteria simply can’t grow. Side note- honey is the only food on the planet that can never spoil because pathogens can’t grow in it.

4. Nature’s First-Aid Remedy

Hopefully you don’t have flesh-eating bacteria. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use Manuka Honey cream for healing purposes. It makes an excellent natural treatment for bug bites, minor cuts and wounds.

How effective is it?

In 2003 a study in the European Journal of Medical Research claimed Active Manuka Honey used under dressings on post-operative wounds had an 85% success rate in clearing up infections compared with 50% for normal antibiotic creams. Not too shabby.

5. Reduce Scars, Stretch Marks, Redness and Swelling

What sets it apart from other topical products is its power to stimulate wound healing while promoting healthy skin.

The nutrients also stimulate the immune system for rapid tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

Plus, its ability to balance the pH level of the skin surface is vitally important to the health of your skin. It even helps reduce the appearance of scars!

Here’s a recent success story on Amazon.com,

“I am constantly looking for the ‘best’ products for our family and myself and I think I might’ve found ‘the one’. I have only used it for a couple of days, but I see that the patchy spots on my baby are starting to go away (she has eczema) and my face looks as if I drank jars of water and feels very smooth.”
