Why does honey have such good beauty effects? First, let's analyze from the perspective of human skin. If a person pays attention to a balanced diet and absorbs enough nutrients such as vitamins and carbohydrates, it can beautify the skin. This is because the nutritional status of the skin is directly related to skin beauty. If the skin lacks nutrition, the metabolic function decreases, the water content decreases, and the skin cells become aging, which will cause wrinkles, increase wrinkles, make the skin rough and dark, and even bring a feeling of premature aging.
Honey is rich in nutrients. Scientists have confirmed that sugars account for three-quarters of the total composition of honey, of which fructose and glucose account for 85% to 95% of the total sugar content. The vitamins contained in honey are mainly B vitamins and vitamin C. Therefore, it is not surprising that honey has ideal beauty effects.
Honey has strong antibacterial effects, which allows it to protect the skin, clean the skin, and treat some skin diseases and wounds. Honey is a high-concentration sugar solution and has inhibitory effects on many types of bacteria. The reason is that it contains glucose oxidase, which acts on glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide at a certain concentration has bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects. When people consume one or two tablespoons of honey, the bacteria in the oral cavity are basically eliminated. Therefore, using a 10% to 15% honey water as a mouthwash has a good therapeutic effect and can also maintain the beauty of teeth. Honey is also effective in treating skin allergies caused by makeup.
Characteristics of honey beauty:
1. Good beauty effects. Honey is a skin cell nourisher. When applied externally, it can be absorbed by the epidermal cells of the human body, thereby enhancing the vitality of the epidermal cells and promoting the metabolism of skin cells, improving the nutritional status of the skin. It can make the skin fair and delicate, maintain a natural rosy and tender complexion, eliminate and reduce wrinkles, and has a special function of preventing skin aging.
2. Non-toxic with no side effects. Nowadays, there are many types of cosmetics, but cases of poisoning from cosmetics are not uncommon. This is because people only pay attention to the fragrance and temporary beauty effects of cosmetics while ignoring their harm to the body. Honey, as a cosmetic, is harmless to the human body. It does not contain any harmful substances and is non-toxic.
3. Expands the field of beauty. In the past, beauty was limited to fair and wrinkle-free facial skin. In fact, beauty is formed by multiple factors, such as hair, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, which can also affect beauty if they suffer from diseases. In addition, a person's mental state and emotions are also directly related to beauty. These factors that affect beauty are generally ineffective with ordinary cosmetics. Using honey as a cosmetic can have unexpected effects. In addition to making facial masks, directly taking honey orally can also have beauty effects. Therefore, honey is also called an internal beauty agent.
4. Has certain health care and medical functions. The reason why honey is called an ideal natural beauty agent is that honey can not only be used as a cosmetic, but also has medical and health care effects. It can have anti-inflammatory, anti-corrosion, and protective effects on wound surfaces, and it is effective for diseases such as dermatitis, chapped hands and feet, lip inflammation, oral inflammation, frostbite, and burns.
