Acne
Manuka Honey has the ability to absorb impurities from the pores in the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent. It's especially effective in fading red marks and killing bacteria. The cause of acne infection is a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. The pores or follicles in the skin become blocked, preventing the sebum from escaping to the surface and the acne bacteria infects the trapped sebum. This leads to an increase in white blood cells in the localized area of the follicle blockage resulting in inflammation, redness and pain. With regard to acne, Manuka Honey is effective in a number of ways. Manuka Honey penetrates the epidermis of the acne infection far better than synthetic medications. Once at the seat of the acne infection, it quickly controls the acne bacteria. The presence of Manuka Honey also helps to break up and release the blockage of individual follicles leading to the cause of acne. Manuka Honey's anti-inflammatory action helps to eliminate any pain present. This is the highest rated manuka obtainable, delivering outstanding results in reducing and clearing cystic acne.


Arthritis Because Manuka Honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties, it can be used as a natural pain reliever by reducing the inflammation associated with joint and muscle pain. Anything that is applied to the skin is absorbed into the body. Manuka Honey has the ability to penetrate the surface of the skin, diffusing into the depth of skin tissue, making its way to the affected area. The result is a natural analgesic action which combines with the body's defense and support systems, improving circulation and nutrients to the joints while removing waste and preventing infections. The natural anti-inflammatory agents found in Manuka Honey are glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphate, which stimulate the body's manufacturing of cartilage components necessary for joint repair and assist in the reduction of pain and inflammation. Manuka Honey is also effective on back, neck and shoulder pain, muscle stiffness as well as providing relief for pain associated with arthritis and sprains.


Burns and Wounds
Manuka Honey's main claim to fame is its extremely powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Research has proven that Manuka Honey promotes healing. Bacteria simply cannot survive in the environment produced by Manuka Honey because of its acidity and high sugar levels. Even chronic wounds and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria have not been able to combat the healing powers of Manuka Honey as it's been effective in destroying MRSA and healing Staph Infections. The presence of hydrogen peroxide and other antibacterial components make Manuka Honey a powerful infection-fighting agent. Unlike many other topical antiseptics, Manuka Honey causes no damage to the skin because the hydrogen peroxide present is produced in a slow release manner that is strong enough to disinfect but low enough not to cause tissue damage. In addition to being extremely effective in treating wounds, Manuka Honey can also be used on burns. Manuka Honey is used on burn patients and other medical conditions as a wonderful anti-bacterial skin healer. Adding moisture to irritated skin and healing inflammation, honey enzymes rejuvenate skin and act as a natural exfoliant and antimicrobial agent. This is the highest rated manuka obtainable, delivering outstanding results in reducing and clearing cystic acne.


Eczema
There is documented evidence supporting the use of Manuka Honey to treat eczema and other forms of dermatitis. Manuka Honey has been known to heal damaged skin, rebuild cells and regenerate new skin growth. It also has the ability to moisturize and soothe cracked and damaged skin. Applying Manuka Honey directly to affected areas can provide relief to individuals suffering from dermatitis, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions by softening, moisturizing, and rejuvenating irritated skin.


Ringworm
Fungal infections are caused by microscopic organisms that feed on dead tissues of the hair, nails and outer layers of the skin. Studies have shown that Manuka Honey contains antifungal properties, making it effective in treating ringworm and other fungal conditions such as athlete's foot, jock itch and nail fungus. In addition to having antibacterial properties, Manuka Honey is also considered to be antimicrobial, which means it has the ability to cure fungal infections as well as bacterial infections.


Wrinkles
Manuka Honey is very good for the skin due to the presence of vitamins and antioxidants. Manuka Honey's ability to absorb and retain moisture make it an ideal natural ingredient as it helps keep skin hydrated and fresh. In fact, history shows that ancient beauties regularly applied a mixture of honey and milk to the face to keep their skin looking young, radiant and smooth. Honey's natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun's rays while supporting the skin's ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin. Exposure to the sun is the number one cause of wrinkles. Manuka Honey has a moisturizing and nourishing effect on the skin which helps elasticity and texture. Manuka Honey has also been known to increase the production of collagen and improve the skin's elasticity. It repairs damaged skin and regenerates new skin growth that is rich in collagen fibers and elastin. There may be no better way to bring a smooth glow to your skin than by using Manuka Honey.


Benefits Of Manuka Honey For Skin
Manuka Honey is probably the best Natural Facial Cleanser I have ever used. There's no doubt that honey is an excellent cleanser but Manuka Honey is even better. So what exactly is Manuka Honey and How does it help our skin?

Manuka honey is taken, manufactured and produced from bees that consistently feed on the Manuka bush. This particular bush is more commonly known as a variation of the tea tree plant and is found in Australia and New Zealand. While Manuka honey is rather unknown in some ways, a number of healthcare and skin benefits have already been proven. Let’s go over just a few of these benefits so that you can have an idea of just how great of an impact Manuka honey can have on your overall health.

Manuka honey has specific properties that contain antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. These benefits can be used to fight infection, speed the healing process and help skin fight off any ill effects caused through excessive bacteria.

The honey can also speed up the healing process for fresh wounds. It creates moisture that allows new skin to grow much quicker than it would on its own. On top of this, Manuka honey prevents infection as it destroys bacteria and can repair previously damaged skin.

When applied to parts of the body that may be affected by fungal disease, such as jock itch and athlete’s foot, Manuka honey uses its anti-fungal properties to cure you and relieve pain. The pain relief is provided from the anti-inflammatory effects the honey supplies.

It also has natural antioxidant properties, which help protect the skin from free radicals. Oxidation from the activity of free radicals is one of the three main causes of why skin ages as we grow older. When used topically active manuka honey will help the skin to build more collagen. The loss of collagen as we age is another one of the three main reasons our skin shows signs of aging. Providing our skin with more collagen is what we need to keep our skin smooth and young looking. It is the key to eliminating wrinkles and fine lines.

Possibly the greatest aspect is that Manuka honey offers all these benefits in an all natural and organic way unlike many other treatments on the market. While some treatments are simply examples of overmedication, this honey has no known or proven side effects in any way.

What is UMF or Unique Manuka Factor?
Before you go running off to a retailer to purchase Manuka honey, there is something very important that you need to be aware of. Not all honey is considered to be “active”. In order to be designated as “active”, Manuka honey must contain an antimicrobial property that is not found in any other types of honey.

This form of measurement is labeled as the Unique Manuka Factor, or UMF. The honey must pass some stringent laboratory testing to be labeled as “active”. Therefore, before making any purchase of Manuka honey, you should do your research, understand what UMF is and make sure that the product you are investing in is worth what you are paying. So make sure you are using Manuka Honey which has UMF 15+ (at least).

I use UMF 25+ exclusively, both for professional and personal use. All I do is take some honey, spread it on my face, gently massage in a circular motion for about a minute and rinse off. It makes my skin clean, soft and glowing. It is good for all types of skin, specially beneficial for acne and aging skin, it is often known as anti-aging miracle. You can also use Manuka Honey in your facial masks and exfoliators to reap its wonderful benefits.
