Ten Honey Beauty Products To Sweeten Up The Season
Products that count honey as a main ingredient are making a big buzz in the beauty industry. You'll see this moisturizing component popping up in everything from lip balm to lotion! These picks make perfect winter essentials for their soothing properties, but the fragrant honey scent certainly doesn't hurt either. It can even be used to treat acne!
"Honey has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties," explains Paul Jarrod Frank, M.D. "The calming effect of honey on conditions such as acne and eczema makes it a very popular ingredient as there's currently a trend towards natural and organic skincare."
