Beauty from Mother Nature

Hundreds of years ago honey symbolized fertility, health and wealth in many cultures. Ancient Greeks called it “the food of Gods”. I don’t know about gods but these days any regular person can buy various kinds of honey in a regular grocery store. You will probably mostly find it in a family kitchen or a dining room but I prefer to keep this delicious treat in my bathroom. And no, I am not insane. Natural honey is an essential part of healthy organic skin care.

Chemical and Engineering News page compiled a rather informative article about the chemical composition of honey. It explains that honey mostly consists of various sugars and acids, as well as minerals, vitamins, proteins, iron, manganese, copper, silicon and nitrogen. Even though many of these elements are found in honey in small amounts, it is obviously enough to create an effective organic skin care product. You can add some natural honey to a hot bath before bed, use it as a lip balm in winter, or just have it with a cup of tea: it’s equally good for your beauty and health.

Ann Louise Gittleman, a well known nutritionist and author of 30 books about health and nutrition, was recently interviewed by Houston Chronicle and asked what sweetener she personally would recommend. Ms. Gittleman’s definite response was “Real honey. Number one, it’s an antioxidant. And you will get sweetness from it. I’m a big believer in honey in your tea, and even in your coffee.”

As for the cosmetic and skin care products with honey as an ingredient, you will be able to find a great choice of these items right here, on TheFind.com.
