Manuka Honey for Your Face

Manuka Honey for Your Face

Traditionally, Manuka Honey is used to relieve coughs and sore throats, relieve sinus inflammation, and improve overall immunity. However, Manuka Honey is also a great addition to your beauty regimen! Thanks to Manuka's beneficial hydrating, soothing, and healing properties, this versatile honey can aid in addressing many facial skin issues - dry skin, rosacea, eczema, acne, and aging.

When choosing what manuka to use, be sure to use a manuka honey that has been certified. Manuka honey has become quite popular and is gaining a lot of traction across the globe. The wonders and versatility of this honey are being revealed through many accredited studies. We have summarised some information in our article here.

Genuine manuka honey is derived from a collection of natural compounds, found in the pristine untouched landscapes of New Zealand. We call this the Unique Manuka Factor - UMF. You will not find the UMF in any manuka honey that is not authentic New Zealand Manuka Honey MGO.

Authentic, certified manuka honey costs a pretty penny too, the last thing we want is for you to waste your hard-earned money on manuka honey which fails to prove its authenticity, purity, and potency. If you are new to manuka please read through our comprehensive guide on how to authenticate a bottle of manuka.

Here at Rare Organics, we know a thing or two about Manuka. One of the many product ranges we are well versed in is New Zealand Manuka Honey. Our knowledge and understanding of genuine New Zealand Honey is something you can trust. With an increase of untrustworthy, glorified expensive sweeteners on the market being advertised as genuine manuka, we set the standard for true, potent Manuka honey.

DIY Face Wash with Manuka Honey

This wash is great to do once or twice a week to rehydrate and clean your facial skin.

  • Rinse with warm water and pat dry
  • Follow up with a moisturiser

DIY Manuka Honey Moisturizer

We recommend finding an essential oil that will benefit the composition of your face. Mix in a pea-sized amount of Manuka with shea, mango, or avocado butter for added texture and absorption.  If you are prone to acne, make sure that the additive products you chose are non-comedogenic. Aloe vera gel and jojoba oil are great options. Aloe vera soothes inflammation, jojoba oil hydrates without clogging pores, and tea tree oil has antibacterial properties to combat acne.
