Oh, honey!
Seeing as we've got some new skincare at YLB that contains honey, let's talk about the benefits of the sweet stuff!
Honey isn’t just for your toast - it's a total skincare hero! Here’s why you should absolutely make room for this golden treat in your beauty routine:
1. Natural Moisture Boost
Honey is a total moisture magnet! As a humectant, it draws moisture from the air and locks it into your skin, keeping you soft, dewy and glowing without any greasy feel. Perfect for anyone battling dry or thirsty skin!
2. Antioxidant Power
Packed with antioxidants, honey helps protect your skin from nasty free radicals that can cause aging and damage. Think of it as a protective shield for your skin, keeping you looking youthful and radiant!
3. Acne's Worst Enemy
With its natural antibacterial goodness, honey is like a gentle little army that fights off the bacteria behind acne. It helps reduce redness, calm inflammation and clear up blemishes without irritating your skin.
4. Healing & Soothing
Whether you’ve got a minor burn or irritated skin, honey’s healing touch is magical. It speeds up recovery and soothes inflammation, making it perfect for sensitive or stressed-out skin.
5. Gently Exfoliating
Honey’s natural enzymes work like a charm to exfoliate your skin, sloughing off dead cells without being harsh. It leaves your skin smooth, fresh and glowing - just like a natural, gentle scrub!
6. Even Skin Tone
With its mix of antibacterial, moisturising and soothing properties, honey helps even out your complexion. Dark spots, redness, or uneven texture? Honey's got you covered. Your skin will look brighter and more balanced!
7. pH Balancing
Honey helps your skin maintain its natural pH, which is key for healthy, happy skin. It keeps oil production in check while ensuring your skin stays hydrated, calm, and clear.
8. Age-Defying Glow
Because it’s packed with antioxidants and hydration, honey is your secret weapon in fighting fine lines and wrinkles. It plumps up your skin and keeps it feeling youthful, fresh, and bouncy!
How to Work Honey into Your Routine

Spot Treatment:
Dab a little honey on blemishes overnight and let its antibacterial magic do its thing.
