The New Honey Facial - The Medical Marvel of Manuka

If your like me you've found out that when checking out any product that comes on the market, it's important to examine the active ingredients to see how it functions.

In the case of these new honey facial products that have begun to crop up, you may be wondering "Is this just another spin on an old brand or will honey actually do anything positive for my face"?

The answer is a surprising one. Though it may seem that the simple inclusion of honey wouldn't be enough to cause any dramatic effect on the health of your skin, it in fact does and with remarkable effect. The honey in question is a special 'active' form of manuka honey, present in manuka honey face gel and other associated products.

Now, your probably asking what exactly is manuka honey, and what does it do?

You see, for centuries, honey has been used to treat all manner of skin conditions, and was not just limited to honey facial products. However, it hasn't been until recently that we have an understanding of why it functions the way it does. The answer is a combination of a number of reasons. Honey naturally has an anti-septic function, and has been used on many different types of wounds through out history. As well, it exhibits a 'hydrogen peroxide'-like effect due to its highly acidic nature. Manuka honey, it turns out, takes these remarkable properties even further.

Referred to as a 'monofloral honey', manuka honey is honey taken from a single flower - in this case the manuka tree, or Leptospermum scoparium, located in New Zealand. Scientists have been laboring to explain why the properties of this monofloral honey were so pronounced in relation to other honeys, and recently they've come upon the answer.

Dubbed "UMF" for "Unique Manuka Factor", this honey not only functions as an anti-septic when applied to your skin; it also contains powerful anti-bacterial agents that actively repel bacterial development. Most remarkably, it has a dramatic effect on your skin cells, promoting active growth and cellular development. So a manuka honey face gel. does not just include this active agent to seem naturalistic or organic, it is, in fact, a potent new medical advancement.

Manuka honey is now being used in lab environments, as an anti-bacterial agent as well as in some remarkably advanced 'anti-fungal' treatments, where it uses all its capabilities, allowing the user to raise healthy skin growth, shields the skin from harmful bacterial agents, and provides a softening, regenerative effect on the surface of the skin.

Now if it can do all this, providing all these types of serious medicinal uses, just imagine what it can do for your skin.

So there you have it, your next step is to look for manuka honey in any honey facial products you examine and search out the best products you can find for your skin.
