Honey: The Ancient Anti-Aging Beauty Secret
Cleopatra was the queen of Egypt, widely known for her stunning beauty and strong personality. Perhaps the most famous and exotic skin care technique that she used as a strict beauty ritual was regular soaking in baths consisting of milk mixed with pure almond oil and fresh honey .
Milk contains lactic acid, which is an effective alpha hydroxy acid. Helps exfoliate the skin by breaking down dead skin cells and cleansing the skin down to its deepest layers. This allows radiant skin to regenerate, giving it a natural, healthy glow. Vitamin A and D also help to get smooth and supple skin.
Honey is a great natural anti-aging skin care product that contains a host of antibacterial ingredients and gives your skin a boost of vitamins. When using fresh wild Tualang honey, jelly honey, or Kelulut honey as part of your bath recipe, you will get the best results due to its superior beneficial properties, such as having the highest levels of antioxidants, amino acids, and enzymes. Tualang, Gelam and Kelulut honeys possess a variety of biological effects attributed to their physical and chemical properties, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
Almond oil can soothe dry skin and improve skin tone. It is highly emollient, which means it helps balance moisture absorption and water loss. It is antibacterial and full of vitamin A.
