Bring the sunshine back into your beauty routine! We're taking a look at the power of honey, this liquid gold, so precious for our skin. Have you ever been caught with your hand in a honey pot? Sipping this sweet and delicious nectar?
We know about its sweet taste, its intoxicating scent, its sun-kissed color... but we know less about its benefits for our skin! Ladies, the date is set! Head to the heart of the hive to discover all the riches hidden within the queen!
#1 A moisturizing power
Autumn is here, and here it is! With the cold, our skin reacts, protecting itself but becoming more vulnerable to aggression. But we haven't had our last word yet.
Rich in sugar, minerals, and vitamin B, honey has the ability to maintain the skin's natural moisture and combat dry skin. Dry and sensitive skin will be delighted!
#2 A nourishing power
Another natural wonder, honey increases skin elasticity and suppleness. Rich in trace elements (magnesium, iron, calcium, etc.), it promotes cell renewal. A boost that feels good (especially right now). Want to be radiant this fall? You've found your ally!
#3 A calming power
Just thinking about its scent makes us melt with happiness. Honey has this power over our senses. And for our skin? It's even better! Applied topically like a face mask, its soothing properties relieve irritation and redness. Tight, sensitive, and emotional skin finds all the comfort it needs in honey.
#4 A protective power
Are you familiar with flavonoids? This molecule acts as a powerful natural antioxidant and antibiotic. It fights inflammation and promotes healing. You know what? Honey is full of them!
WHAT IF WE PUT A SPOON OF IT IN OUR BEAUTY ROUTINE?
Here are some homemade recipes to send our skin on its honeymoon.
A delicious scrub?
Mix two tablespoons of liquid honey with a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of lemon juice. Apply with a light circular massage using your fingertips to the face and neck. Leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. The skin is soft and cleansed.
A relaxing bath?
Mix 10 tablespoons of liquid honey with about ten drops of lavender essential oil. Once the mixture is well diluted in the bath, everything is ready. All that's left is to relax...
An envelope of softness?
For silky-smooth, soft skin, combine the benefits of honey with the virtues of sweet almond oil. Apply and leave on for about ten minutes before rinsing.
The extra gestures
For women who want to enjoy the benefits of this precious nectar, without going into the kitchen, you will fall for the Gentle Hand Cream.
A treatment rich in honey, shea butter and glycerin, which repairs and protects our hands weakened by the cold.
The ideal reflex for this fall, to always have in your handbag.
