The benefits of Manuka honey

The success of this honey, from the Manuka tree, cousin of the Tea tree, is not new. The first traces of therapeutic use of honey date back to 2000 years BC: many civilizations have used it throughout history, particularly as a healing agent.

This superfood, found only in New Zealand, is renowned for its health benefits and skin-loving properties. This signature ingredient from Antipodes is rich in antioxidants that help nourish, regenerate and revitalise the appearance of skin. It’s versatile and suitable for all skin types.

Zoom in on the cosmetic virtues of this liquid gold:

• Exfoliating: Manuka Honey will naturally rescue dehydrated skin, helping to hydrate and nourish the skin, for a radiant and luminous complexion. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, this unique honey is a humectant, meaning it is naturally moisturising. This honey draws moisture to the skin's surface and helps retain it, for soft and supple skin.

• Healing: Manuka honey is ideal for skin prone to blemishes, inflammation and also to soothe irritated skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe and calm irritations, as well as relieve redness. This is among other things what the Aura mask from Antipodes provides: it erases imperfections and deeply hydrates the skin in a cloud of vanilla and mandarin!
  
  
  
  
• Skin Tone Equalizer : Manuka honey has restorative properties that can promote skin cell regeneration and improve cell damage repair. This natural ingredient can not only help reduce blemishes, but also minimize the appearance of scars.
• Anti-Aging : Rich in vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants, Manuka honey neutralizes free radicals that are responsible for damaging skin cells. This honey has also been shown to promote the structural growth of skin cells, which helps achieve firm skin.
