Honey has long been considered as the premier natural sweetener. I love it and it's pretty much all I use for my loose leaf tea. But recently honey has popped up in different skin care products... Wonder why? I will tell you.
Honey is amazing for the skin! Not only does it contain the usual suspects like glucose and sucrose (which is why it's sweet), it also contains Vitamin B5 (Provitamin B5 is a premier ingredient in many of those expensive skin serums on the market).
The properties of honey when applied to skin through products, allows the skin to retain moisture and honey actually nourishes the skin! I'm actually in the process of formulating a body scrub using honey (keep a look out for it! -- Hey... A girl's got a company to run!)
Be on the lookout for products using honey, but be CAREFUL. Watch for those parabens! Doesn't make sense to pay the extra money for the natural goodness of honey in your products and have it contain those dangerous parabens!
Until next time,
Shermaine
