What is Manuka Honey? What are the benefits of Manuka Honey for skin care?

Manuka honey is a relatively famous product. This product has many benefits. It can be used for skin care as well as hair care. Many big-name skin care products contain Manuka honey.

Manuka honey is a type of honey. On the hillsides, coastal areas, and forest edges of northern New South Wales, New Zealand and Australia, there grows a red tea tree called Manuka (also known as Manuka). In early summer, its blooming flowers attract swarms of bees to collect nectar from the nectar source to brew the unique Manuka honey.

Manuka honey also has a powerful antioxidant effect: it contains high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide molecules, such as methyl syringate and polyphenols, which are more than five times the content of other honeys. It can delay cell aging, delay the appearance of wrinkles, and revitalize the skin.

The biggest difference between Manuka honey and other honeys is that it contains a variety of natural active ingredients: eugenol, MGO (methylglyoxal), polyphenols, methyl syringate, etc. According to laboratory measurements, these substances are either not present in other honeys, or are only about 1%-10% of the content in Manuka honey, and the efficacy is far less powerful.

Manuka honey can be applied externally. Many celebrities use Manuka honey on their faces, and some have even done so for many years. Natural Manuka honey is mild and non-irritating, and is also very friendly to sensitive skin. It can also be used by people with acne and pimples.
