Why Your Skin Needs Honey And Propolis This Fall

As the fall weather turns colder and you crank up the indoor heat, you may find your skin feeling dry, flaky, tight, or itchy. You might also notice an increase in blemishes. That’s all due to moisture loss from these changes in temperature and environment. A dry skin barrier not only feels uncomfortable, it also makes it easier for blemish-causing bacteria to invade your skin.

As the fall weather turns colder and you crank up the indoor heat, you may find your skin feeling dry, flaky, tight, or itchy. You might also notice an increase in blemishes. That’s all due to moisture loss from these changes in temperature and environment. A dry skin barrier not only feels uncomfortable, it also makes it easier for blemish-causing bacteria to invade your skin.

That’s where honey and propolis come in! These two bee-made ingredients are “un-bee-lievably” effective in skincare. In fact, you’ll find them in the formulations of many K-Beauty products – Korean skincare has relied on their healing, strengthening, and protective powers for centuries. All these benefits are essential to strengthening your natural skin barrier and achieving that ultimate glow. Here is the buzz on both!

Why is honey a sweet skincare ingredient? One of nature’s mightiest humectants, this sticky-sweet substance made by bees actually draws in moisture to keep your skin supple. Rich in antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and nutrients, honey helps nourish your skin, protects against free radicals, heals superficial wounds, builds collagen, and fights wrinkles and other signs of aging. It also has pore-purifying antimicrobial properties, and acts as an anti-inflammatory to soothe irritation from dry air and pimples. Our Honey Glow Mask is a sweet way to purify, soothe and moisturize inflamed, irritated skin associated with acne, dryness, and environmental stress, while boosting radiance.

How does propolis help enrich your skincare? A tree-made byproduct of bees, propolis is what bees use to seal and sanitize their hives. It’s shown to have the same effect on your skin! Rich in flavonoids, amino acids, and other skin-loving properties, it boosts moisture retention, smooths, and softens. Propolis is also helpful for breakouts, due to its cleansing and calming antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s even shown to speed up cell turnover, which can help accelerate post-zit healing, help reverse the signs of aging, and provide UV protection. It’s one of the star ingredients in RESTORE Propolis Collagen Gel, our brand-new anti-aging moisturizer formulated to help repair, plump, soften, soothe, and brighten skin, while restoring a youthful look and glow.

Now that you’re more familiar with the skin-caring benefits of honey and propolis, try sweetening your fall skincare routine with these bee-made ingredients! A great way to test-out the anti-aging, brightening, and pore-purifying benefits of Honey and Propolis is with our new BEE-U-tiful Bundle, which includes three Honey Glow Masks, RESTORE Propolis Collagen Gel, and a rose quartz facial roller (a $126 value for $85)!
