Manuka Honey: Benefits for Skin, Uses and Source
About Manuka
Manuka is a flowering tea tree native to New Zealand. The honey that is collected from these flowers has long been renowned for its remarkable beneficial properties for the skin.
Manuka Honey Benefits for Skin
Wild Ferns uses premium certified Manuka Honey 80+ in all its products. In case you are wondering what 80+ stands for, it is the minimum pollen count that is present in each Wild Fern Skincare product that uses Manuka Honey. Given below are a few benefits of Manuka Honey 80+ for the skin:

Furthermore, Manuka Honey 80+ is a natural humectant; acting to prevent loss of moisture thereby retaining the skin’s natural moisture.
Difference Between Manuka Honey and Regular Honey
All kinds of honey have antibacterial effects, but manuka honey is special because it also includes a substance called methylglyoxal that makes it better for treating wounds and has a higher affinity for moisture. Additionally, it imparts a distinctly bitter flavour to the honey.
Manuka Honey and Acne
Manuka honey helps your skin retain moisture, so just like with dry skin, it can treat acne. It accomplishes this by preventing sebum overproduction, which is what initially results in this bothersome issue. Additionally, because of its antibacterial qualities, honey has been used for a long time in the treatment of acne. But since manuka honey also includes methylglyoxal (MG), it becomes all the more beneficial. Its antibiotic qualities can aid in lowering the inflammation and redness of existing acne.
Manuka Honey and Aging Skin
Manuka Honey is quite capable of dealing with signs of aging, especially on your face. It helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles and under-eye bags.
Manuka Honey and Dry Skin
As stated above, Manuka Honey is a natural humectant, that is, it has a great affinity for moisture. It hydrates your skin and also locks-in the moisture to provide you long lasting benefits.
