Natural honey contains a variety of antioxidants and a host of superior vitamins like Riboflavin (B2), Folate (C, B9), Niacin (B3) and Pantothenic Acid (B5) which can work wonders for skin of any age and type.

This wonder product can be effectively used to enhance the skin tone due to its moisture retention properties coupled with its ability to provide deep cleansing for opening up the pores on the surface thereby allowing the skin to breathe freely. The antioxidants contained in this organic element prevent cell degeneration, rejuvenate the surface cells and protect them from the harmful effects of UV rays for providing a more supple and firm skin with lesser wrinkles that is essential for anti aging care. Direct application as well as internal consumption of honey stimulates the production of essential hormones and enzymes in the required proportion. This restoration of hormonal balance is the key factor behind its anti acne effects.

Whether applied individually or in conjunction with other products, the use of honey for skin improvement has immediate and visible results that can be appreciated by everyone.
