Something that tastes so indulgent and luxurious yet is truly good for you can be found in the form of the deliciously addictive Manuka honey. Comvita says that research has found that Manuka honey possesses nutritional properties that may help internal health, and can help skin look younger.

This kitchen cupboard ingredient can also be a great addition to your skincare regime and is often used in the beauty world, both on its own and as an active ingredient in other beauty products. Recent reports have confirmed Manuka honey’s popularity, with reviews of its versatile treatment for dull, fatigued skin, irritation, redness, rosacea and acne. However, it shouldn’t be reserved solely for skin emergencies; Manuka’s everyday benefits mean it’s an extremely worthwhile addition to your daily routine. When it comes to giving skin a plump, youthful glow, a smear of this sweet natural elixir is worth a try.

Celebrities have also been seeing the benefits, with Scarlett Johansson publically speaking about her love for the product. The Hollywood star is an enthusiastic adopter of natural skincare remedies, using raw lemon as an exfoliator and Manuka honey & apple cider vinegar as a natural cleanser.

Comvita advises how to use Manuka on your skin and say that unlike many traditional foodie/dermatological crossovers, there’s no unnecessary additional work with Manuka honey. The food processor can stay in the cupboard and there’s no need to incorporate half an hour of chopping and peeling into your skincare regime, all you need is a scoop of the sweet stuff and you’re good to go.
