You want the sweetest secret to radiant skin? Honey is not just for eating.

As it turns out, honey does more than just enhance your morning toast.

Pure honey is a powerhouse ingredient for your skin, offering an abundance of benefits that are too good for us to keep to ourselves.

Discover how this natural wonder can transform your skincare routine, making your skin glow like the golden nectar itself. 

Nature's Nectar for Your Skin

Honey draws moisture from the air and binds it to the skin. This added hydration gives the skin a fresh, youthful glow and suppleness, making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

Honey also contains natural antioxidants that fight free radicals, one of the leading causes of premature aging. Here's why incorporating honey into your skincare regime can be a game-changer.

Antioxidant Power

Fights Free Radicals: Honey is rich in antioxidants, which combat free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, keeping your skin youthful and radiant.

Promotes Skin Repair: The antioxidant properties also aid in the repair and rejuvenation of damaged skin cells.

Natural Moisturizer

Hydrates Deeply: Its natural humectant properties draw moisture into the skin, ensuring deep and lasting hydration without leaving an oily residue.

Softens Skin: Regular use of honey can leave your skin feeling soft, supple, and plump, thanks to its moisturizing benefits.

Antibacterial & Anti-inflammatory

Clears Acne: Honey's antibacterial qualities are effective in preventing and reducing acne by targeting the bacteria that cause breakouts.

Soothes Skin: Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritation and redness, making it ideal for sensitive or inflamed skin.

Gentle Exfoliator

Removes Dead Skin Cells: Honey gently exfoliates the skin, sloughing away dead skin cells without stripping the skin of its natural oils, revealing a brighter complexion.

Natural Healer

Scrapes, burns, and cuts: Honey’s antibacterial nature makes it a great natural healer. Put it on a burn or a cut and it starts the healing process immediately. In World War II, nurses used honey to heal the injured when medicine ran low. 

How to Incorporate Pure Honey into Your Skincare Routine

Adding honey to your routine is simple and immensely rewarding. Here are some easy ways to utilize raw honey for your skin:

Honey Face Mask: Apply raw honey directly onto clean skin, leave it for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. It will leave your skin supple and moisturized. 

Honey Sugar Scrub: Crystallized honey is perfect as a shower scrub. Once it forms those granulated crystals, it can act as a nourishing exfoliant. Exfoliate during your shower and it leaves your skin noticeably softer and brighter. And it’s great for rougher areas, like heels and elbows. 

Honey Makeup Remover: Honey can be combined with coconut oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil to use as a gentle makeup remover. Combine the two ingredients until they are easily spreadable and massage them into your skin to loosen makeup and deep-down dirt. Rinse with warm water.

Honey Face Cleanser and Exfoliator: Honey can be used as a gentle facial cleanser and natural exfoliator on its own. You can also add a few drops to your normal facial wash. Or, combine it with equal parts of baking soda to make a gentle and effective face scrub.

Honey in Body Care

Using pure honey on your skin a little out of your comfort zone? We get it - changing your routine can be daunting.

Savannah Bee Company’s body care collection uses honey and other hive ingredients to help get your foot in the door of the natural skincare world.

Honey can be used in lotions, hand soaps, and salves - and we’ve discovered the ultimate recipe for these and so many more. 

Hand Soap: Our hand soap uses our very own honey and certified organic aloe vera juice. With caramel and annatto for all-natural colorants, we make sure that our hand soaps contain no petroleum products, no parabens, and are never, ever tested on animals.

Body Butter: Royal jelly Body Butter is chock full of nourishing nut and plant butters, plus all of the hive ingredients that moisturize and restore skin. The deep moisture and nourishing antioxidants come from royal jelly harvested from the queen’s own chamber.

Royal Jelly affects hydration of the stratum corneum by retaining water in it, allowing the skin to become more elastic and better moisturized. Plus it makes your skin as soft as a rose petal. 

Beeswax Salve: Our Beeswax Salve nourishes dry, distressed skin with a blend of pure beeswax, honey, vitamin E, and olive oil. It’s certified organic, and penetrates quickly to moisturize and condition. It’s the perfect moisturizer for any areas with dry, cracked skin.
