All-natural honey has been used as a beauty product since the days of Cleopatra, and it continues to be used today in manufactured and homemade products for skin and hair care. Honey is a natural humectant, which means it has the ability to attract and retain moisture. The skin's ability to stay moist helps maintain its softness, suppleness and elasticity. As skin ages, it loses some of the ability to retain water and may become dry an appear wrinkled. Honey's natural hydrating properties make it an ideal ingredient for moisturizing products. Because it is all natural and doesn't irritate the skin, honey is also great for sensitive skin.
