Why is Manuka Honey Moisturizer such a Powerful Friend for our Skin?

Although Manuka honey was only recently introduced in Europe and the US as a skin moisturizer, honey has been used for centuries in skin care regimens, from Cleopatra and antique Egypt to the Far East and Asian royalty. Modern chemistry enabled us to understand why: honey is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Manuka honey is a step-up: not only is it a very powerful moisturizer, but it also gives women a relatively affordable, high-quality alternative skin care option.

The first reflex of most women stepping out of the shower is to use a moisturizing cream to eliminate the feeling of tightness and dryness left on their skin by the harsh chemicals found in city water. Whether you use a cream or a lotion, moisturizing your face and body gives your skin a breath of freshness and vitality it delights in.

Manuka honey moisturizer is famously known for its special benefits, and giving you a remarkably fresh glow and hydrated feel.

Manuka honey is a natural humectant: it locks in the moisture and makes you feel fresh longer. With its powerful combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it also helps promote the appearance of firmer, youthful-looking skin.

Quick Refresher on the Use of Honey in Skin Care History

Throughout history, numerous cultures have known the secrets of honey and used it in their skin care products. 

It’s said that in ancient Egypt men and women were known for their elaborate cosmetic treatments. Living in the desert climate made it necessary for them to keep their skin hydrated. Honey was a natural ingredient in their skin care routines and according to Cleopatra’s lore, she bathed in milk infused with honey.

On the other side of the world, the Chinese imperial concubines included honey in their facial regimens to improve the appearance of their skin and for a healthy-looking complexion. The Sumerians, a very ancient people of the Middle East, etched the recipes for their skin treatments in clay tablets and honey on the historical record as a common ingredient.

Manuka Honey Moisturizer Cream

Manuka honey comes from New Zealand. The indigenous New Zealanders, the Maori, used Manuka honey in balms to moisturize their skin. This honey is considered today as the queen of all honeys, known for its many powerful elements as well as its ability to seal moisture and give the skin better hydration. 

Despite the advancements in skin care chemistry, honey has not just remained a leading ingredient in our beauty products, it has become even more prominent.

Deluvia Manuka Honey Moisturizer Cream is a great example of that. It combines hydration and powerful, moisture-locking properties.
