I tried something amazing this weekend!<\/p>\n
It had been a long, energy-sapping week around the old homestead. And it showed on my face. Sallow, lack luster, washed out skin.<\/p>\n
Luckily, on Friday, I received a sweet little package in the mail. Wedderspoon sent me their 100% Raw Organic Manuka Honey Actice 16+<\/strong> <\/a>for a try. Little did I know what this sugar bomb would do for my skin.<\/p>\n Wedderspoon suggests using their honey as a mask. Apply to clean skin, leave on for 10-20 minutes, and remove with warm water.<\/p>\n That is just what I did and, voila<\/em>, instant transformation. My skin glowed, my pores were invisible, and (I swear!) my wrinkles were slightly less apparent. And my lips, because I put the honey on them too, were pink and plumped.<\/p>\n Manuka honey is no ordinary honey. Just what makes it so different?<\/em>, you may ask. Well, Manuka honey comes from Manuka flower nectar gathered by bees in New Zealand. Manuka is a medicinal flower with unique healing properties. While all honey has health benefits<\/strong><\/a>, Manuka honey carries these special qualities of the Manuka plant.<\/p>\n When used on the skin, Manuka honey clears debris and impurities from pores, promotes healing of damage and scars, gently exfoliates dead skin cells, and softens the skin. I applied a small amount to a zit on my arm and left it for about 20 minutes. After rinsing the blemish was no longer red and a day later, all but gone.<\/p>\n Non-irritating, 100% organic, works like a million charms, and even tastes good. Simply the bees knees.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
