Summer Skincare with Mānuka Honey

Summer is finally here! That means longer days, beach trips and plenty of sunshine. But with all that fun in the sun, our skin can sometimes take a bit of a beating. Enter Mānuka honey, a unique type of honey that is native to New Zealand and renowned for its potent antibacterial properties. It is one of the oldest natural skincare ingredients in the world that, when applied topically, can transform your skin and keep it glowing all summer long. 

Mānuka Honey Benefits for Skin

Mānuka honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture into the skin, which is perfect for keeping your skin hydrated during those hot, dry summer days. Its high levels of Methylglyoxal (MGO) give it strong antibacterial properties, making it effective in preventing and treating acne, keeping your skin clear and healthy. Additionally, Mānuka honey has anti-inflammatory effects that can soothe and reduce inflammation, offer relief from sunburns or irritated skin, and promote healing. Mānuka honey is also rich in antioxidants, which help combat free radicals that can accelerate skin aging, especially with increased sun exposure during the summer. This means it helps keep your skin youthful and radiant. 

Mānuka Honey Skincare

Whether you have dry skin, acne-prone skin, or something in between, Mānuka honey can be a valuable addition to your skincare routine. Here are a few easy and effective ways to incorporate this superstar ingredient into your summer skincare routine.

Hydrating Face Mask 

Mix a tablespoon of Mānuka honey with a teaspoon of plain yogurt. Apply it to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off. This mask hydrates, soothes, and brightens your skin, making it perfect after a day in the sun.

Acne Spot Treatment

Dab a small amount of Mānuka honey directly onto pimples or blemishes before bed. Its antibacterial properties will help reduce inflammation and speed up healing.

Sunburn Soother 

Mix Mānuka honey with aloe vera gel and apply it to sunburned areas. This combination will provide instant relief and promote faster healing.

Gentle Exfoliator

Combine Mānuka honey with finely ground oats to create a gentle exfoliating scrub. Use it once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and reveal smoother, brighter skin.

Daily Cleanser

Use Mānuka honey as a gentle daily cleanser. Simply massage a small amount onto damp skin and rinse off with warm water. It cleanses without stripping your skin of its natural oils, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
