7 honey-infused beauty products to achieve dewy skin
Jun 24, 2021
As far back as ancient Egypt, those of royalty have celebrated the skin-enhancing properties of honey. Cleopatra was one who religiously bathed in honey and milk, while others used a blend of honey and ground orange seeds to keep their skin fresh and blemish-free.
Today, honey remains a favoured skincare ingredient as it has more naturally occurring antioxidants than almost any other naturally-derived source. Here are our picks of honey-infused beauty products to reveal a brighter and glowing complexion.
PSA – Reset Acai & Manuka Honey Nourishing Cleanser
This product’s antioxidant-rich formula of acai and pomegranate extract helps brighten the skin tone and promote collagen production, while the medical-grade Manuka honey soothes inflamed and irritated skin – including mild conditions of eczema and heat rashes.
