Honeycomb for Natural Skincare
Raw honey is a natural humectant (draws moisture in), while beeswax is an emollient (locks moisture in). Together, they form a powerful, chemical-free skincare duo.
How Honeycomb Helps with Skincare
The Science of Skin
- Hydration: Raw honey draws atmospheric moisture into the skin, helping to hydrate dry tissue.
- Barrier Protection: Beeswax creates a breathable protective layer against environmental irritants like wind and dust.
- Antibacterial: The natural pH and enzymatic activity of honey help reduce skin surface bacteria, which may assist with acne management.
How to Use Honeycomb for Skincare
DIY Applications:
- Face Mask: Mash a small piece of honeycomb and apply directly to the face. Leave for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
- Lip Care: Beeswax is the base of most natural lip balms. Applying raw comb to chapped lips provides immediate relief.
- Dry Patches: Rub certain waxy parts of the comb on dry knuckles or elbows to create a moisture seal.
Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin first to check for allergies.
