Honey is one of the best natural moisturizers, exfoliators and healers of the skin. It is a humectant, meaning that it attracts moisture to the skin. It has natural enzymes that will kill bacteria on the skin, such as for acne prone skin, healing it. It evens out the skin tone making the skin look more youthful and healthy.

If you are suffering from dehydrated and/or sensitive skin, honey may be the best thing for your skin. It will soothe dry, itchy and sensitive skin and it is safe enough to use every day. If you have stubborn flare ups, honey can speed up the healing. 

Raw Honey | Manuka Honey

Raw honey is great, especially if you are on a tight budget. It contains the enzymes that will help heal your skin and to soothe it. If you can afford to and want to step it up a notch, try Manuka honey. Manuka honey is made from the Manuka Tree in New Zealand and in Australia. If your skin is extremely dehydrated, and you suffer from persistent itchy and dry patchy skin from eczema or psoriasis, honey may help calm and offer some relief. It may also help stubborn flareups that just won't seem to go away.
