Honey has been used for thousands of years in cosmetics and skincare,
dating back to 5000 BC in Ancient Greece. During this time, natural ingredients like honey bee, propolis and others like goat’s milk, flowers, herbs, and olive oil were the basis of skincare.
In fact, Minoan women enjoyed their nightly beauty rituals by taking luxurious honey and milk baths. Honey was highly valued for its many useful properties and was a key ingredient in Ancient Greek cosmetics.
These days, we still use honey in many beauty products. Honey's natural humectant properties make it an effective moisturizer. The enzyme activity in honey enables it to penetrate deeply into the skin and bring hydration to the underlying layers. This results in plumper, softer skin with a natural radiant glow. So the next time you enjoy a sweet taste of honey, remember that it’s not good only for your health, but also for your skin!
