Aside from being a healthy alternative to other types of cooking oil, olive oil is also known as an effective anti-aging and natural skin remedy. 

In this case, the vitamins present in olive oil have generative properties that repair damaged skin tissues. Moreover, it helps restore damaged skin cells due to too much sun exposure, pollution, stress, and other environmental factors. 

The vitamins A and E in this olive oil strengthen the epidermis, making it firmer, it can also help stimulate collagen production. 

In addition, the concentration of oleic acid, a monosaturated fat found in olive oil, also stimulates cell regeneration, making the skin elastic and revealing a natural glow. Aside from this, it contains antioxidant properties that help fight free radicals.

In addition, olive oil’s healing properties heal problematic skin caused by certain bacteria. It is particularly exceptional at fighting other skin problems such as psoriasis and skin inflammation.

IS HONEY GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN?

Honey is good for your skin because it’s packed with powerful components that speed healing and reduce inflammation. Among honey’s most prized benefits is the ability to kill bacteria on the skin. It has been a respected ingredient for wound healing across the globe for centuries.

WHY IS HONEY GOOD FOR SKIN?

Studies confirm that honey has numerous components that promote skin health. Here’s an overview of its therapeutic properties and why honey is good for the skin:

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Honey has a strong anti-inflammatory effect when applied topically, making it useful for a variety of inflammatory skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis.
• Anti-Microbial and Antibacterial Properties: Honey has the ability to fight skin infections due to its powerful antimicrobial, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties.  
• Promotes Healing and Cellular Regeneration: Due to the Ligurian Bee's honey moisturising properties
• Beneficial Nutrients: Honey contains amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are beneficial for fighting free radicals and improving the overall health of the skin.

HONEY DEEPLY MOISTURISES AND HYDRATES THE SKIN.

Honey’s natural humectant properties make it an effective moisturiser. The enzyme activity in honey enables it to penetrate deeply into the skin and bring hydration to the underlying layers. This results in plumper, softer skin with a natural radiant glow.

HONEY DIMINISHES THE SIGNS OF PREMATURE AGING.

Honey draws moisture from the air and binds it to the skin. This added hydration gives the skin a fresh, youthful glow and suppleness, making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable. Honey also contains natural antioxidants that fight free radicals, one of the leading causes of premature aging.

HONEY IS AN EFFECTIVE PORE CLEANSER AND GENTLE EXFOLIATOR.

Honey is a natural antibacterial. These properties make it an effective natural pore cleanser for removing deep-down dirt and debris that may clog the pores and contribute to skin issues

HONEY FIGHTS ACNE AND BREAKOUTS.

The anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of honey play an important role in reducing acne and breakouts. These properties reduce the bacteria that causes pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. 

Ligurian Honey Hand and Body Cream 

Is an antioxidant-rich, fast-absorbing honey Hand and Body oil that can be used every day to deeply nourish and moisturise the skin. It contains Kangaroo Island Ligurian Bee Honey to ensure long-lasting hydration and these skin-loving, non-comedogenic oils and vitamin E protect the skin from damaging free radicals, promoting an even skin tone. 

The grapeseed oil benefits for the skin are just about endless. It is a powerful, natural ingredient with heaps of benefits for your skin, including improving your tone, texture, and elasticity. It’s super gentle and safe for most skin types. Bring on all of the glowy benefits! 

Acne Prone Skin

Acne-prone skin is usually deficient in a little something called linoleic acid, which means the sebum produced is thick and will clog the pores more easily. The high levels of linoleic acid in grapeseed oil are a fabulous source of omega-6 fatty acids which assist in controlling acne by minimising sebum and clogged pores.

The natural wonder that is grapeseed oil also has proven antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It works to fight breakout-causing bacteria deep within your pores to clear your skin. Plus, the vitamin E found in grapeseed oil helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Dry skin

As we’ve mentioned, grapeseed oil contains fatty acids, which can also increase the skin’s moisture level, keeping you hydrated and plump all day long! As an added bonus, the vitamin E in grapeseed oil forms a protective barrier around the skin to stop transepidermal water loss. It locks in moisture and replenishes any natural oils lost throughout the day.

Aging Skin

Getting older happens to the best of us, and we’re all looking to minimise those fine lines and wrinkles as best we can, naturally and easily. Grapeseed oil contains powerful antioxidants and phytosterols (a fancy word for a molecule found in plants), which you’ll be pleased to learn can assist in reducing the signs of aging. These antioxidants fight free radicals to assist in boosting and preserving your skin’s collagen and elastin.

Inflammation and Redness

The phytosterols in grape seeds can reduce inflammation, including any irritation resulting from rosacea and eczema. Grapeseed oil is a fantastic natural remedy for inflammatory skin conditions. When phytosterols are applied topically, they help to gently nourish, strengthen the integrity of the skin’s cell membrane and fight off that flare-up inducing irritation and redness.

Almond oil has been used for centuries to soothe the skin and treat minor wounds and cuts. It has been used in ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic practices to treat skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

More than soothing dry skin, almond oil can improve complexion and skin tone. It’s highly emollient, which means it helps to balance the absorption of moisture and water loss. Because it is antibacterial and full of Vitamin A, almond oil can be used to treat acne. Its concentration of vitamin E can also help to heal sun damage, reduce the signs of aging, and fade scars.

Almond oil soaks in quickly and is a powerful moisturiser, so it can be used on the face or body. You can use almond oil as a cleanser or gently remove makeup as well.

The Anti-inflammatory decongestant property of Geranium may also contribute to its anti-inflammatory action.
