Manuka honey is also being used more commonly in skin care with its composition making it the perfect ingredient with impressive results rejuvenating dry damaged skin.
Honey has been used for centuries for health and beauty purposes, there is evidence it was used throughout Egyptian times during the time of Cleopatra. Its rich composition of proteins vitamins and minerals made it an excellent choice as well as being high in hydrogen peroxide to give the skin a deep cleanse. Manuka honey however takes these properties one step further containing an additional ingredient which works synergistically with the honeys key ingredients supplying a powerful anti oxidant, anti bacterial action. It’s also a completely natural product making it a safer healthier alternative.
Being the key ingredient using a raw Manuka honey on the skin will provide excellent results, though those without the time patience and who merely don’t like the thought of plastering honey directly onto your face, a wide range of options are now available, and the market seems to be growing by the day as the legend of Manuka honey begins.

Hand creams, body lotions, cleansers, toners night creams you name and I’m sure you will find it though like all beauty products range in price and quality. The majority of Beauty products these days do unfortunately contain a lot of unnecessary ingredients which have no nutritional value to the skin what so ever. A lot of these ingredients have been banned in some countries such as Japan and Sweden as there is strong evidence that these chemicals are anything from toxic to carcinogenic and prolonged use can cause skin problems.
With this do tread with caution when selecting any skin care or beauty products. Unfortunately this does mean Manuka honey products as well. Always read the small print and avoid anything containing Parabens, ethyl acetate, butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) propylene glycol, phthalates, talc, petrolatum, sodium laurel/laurweth sulphate.
This research of this is still relatively new and which may be the reason these days so many more people are turning to natural beauty products. Even Parrs New Zealand one of the first companies to pioneer Manuka Honey skin care products even once contained parabens and mineral oils. Though with this revelation and your best interests at heart have re-released there Wild Ferns Skin Care Range a range mild enough for the most sensitive skins, completely free from all Parabens, mineral oils, and Lanoline (Lanoline has be known to irritate sensitive skins). 
Any good skin cream is made to protect and feed the skin of nutrients though if the product does contain mineral oils, parabens, or any of the volatile ingrediants as mentioned above. These products can will leave traces of which over time can build up and lead to irritations, skin sensitivities and even more complex skin ailments.
Manuka honey alone will protect and soothe the skin, it has properties which nurture the skins balance and promote the growth of healthier skin cells. Feed the skin with essential vitamins minerals and protein and its powerful antioxidant will move on to protect the skin from free radicals. Manuka Honey skin care products will have the same properties some may even contain additional ingredient which are beneficial though if the wrong ingredients are used it will counteract the effects and may also damage the skin with less than desired results.
Manuka honey beauty products are an excellent addition to any
beauty regime they removed the sticky mess associated with using honey directly on the skin, and also allows you to wear the honey on your skin all day, letting the honeys nutrients soak in a feed the skin as well as protecting it from the external elements.
Though as with any beauty product these days tread with caution use gentle natural products which will work with the skin not upsetting the skins naturals balance. Aggressive chemicals are not good for the skin and they will defeat the purpose of the Manuka honey all together.
