Manuka Honey Facial Mask

Utilizing pure ingredients from your local grocery store is one of the most effective ways to capture the multitude of health and beauty benefits that you can receive from organic ingredients in their raw form.

Manuka Honey is one of my greatest discoveries, and I have been using it as part of my beauty routine and diet for years. The Manuka shrub is native to New Zealand and southeast Australia. It is found throughout New Zealand but is particularly common on the drier east coasts of the North Island and the South Island, and in Australia in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales. Manuka Honey has the ability to absorb impurities from the pores in the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent. It’s especially effective in fading sun spots and killing bacteria. A known relief to many acne sufferers, I am a huge fan of how Manuka helps to clear the skin as it works to restore moisture.

DIY Manuka Honey Facial Mask: Apply to clean skin, covering your entire face, neck and decollete. Allow the honey to soak into the skin for about fifteen minutes. Using a washcloth, gently rinse with warm water. Your skin will be left with a healthy subtle glow.

A great multi-tasker, Manuka is as effective externally as it is internally. It is packed full of extraordinary healing properties that are capable of helping to naturally treat a wide spectrum of health conditions such as ulcers, acid reflux, gastritis, strep throat, acne, wounds, burns, eczema, and wrinkles. Whether you are drizzling this magnificent honey onto your skin, an avocado, a piece of toast or in your cup of tea, Manuka is a great addition to your health and beauty routine for all of the glorious benefits it will bring to your well being, your skin and your health. Enjoy!

Here is one of my favorites:

Comvita honeys are unique to New Zealand and are renowned for their flavour and texture. A natural granulation process is used at Comvita to produce creamed honey that is consistent in texture but easy to spread. Nothing is added to the honey and it is never overheated, that is why Comvita honey is referred to as “raw honey” with all of its natural enzymes and goodness intact.
