Manuka Honey

I love using natural remedies and it is fantastic to find something that actually works! Manuka honey has healing properties and I'm sure that if you googled it you'd find stories that seem hard to believe as it is only honey.

It helps build your immune system and I put a spoonful in my coffee every morning to ensure I get my daily dose, as I often catch the bug that's going around. I have to admit it is expensive to buy but if you look around you can find cheaper options  especially in certain supermarkets it costs about £5 compared to £15 in a specialist shop.* My grandparents are also big fans of the honey and believe that taking a spoonful everyday is the reason they're still going even though they're in their mid 80s!

I am also someone that often suffers from troublesome skin with painful and annoying spots appearing at the worst of times. I have struggled for a few years trying to find something that works for me and I've finally found it! It's the Manuka Doctor - apiclear Skin Treatment Serum.

This is a serum that uses Manuka bee venom (sounds scary but it's not). It is a clear gel that is easy to apply with your fingers. It feels light on your skin, is absorbed quickly, doesn't feel sticky and only a small amount is needed to cover your face.

I apply this every morning and night after washing my face without fail and along with regularly cleaned makeup brushes my skin stays clear. Now it is very rare for me to have a major breakout I might just get a spot every now and again. This is my favourite skin care product at the moment and I have already bought my next two bottles! It is quite expensive at around £15 but I personally think it is worth it however, it is regularly on offer in Holland & Barrett which is a bonus. There are also other apiclear products available but this is the one I like. In total Manuka Doctor have 5 types of products that provide aid for almost every skin problem including ageing or malnourished skin, these are: apiclear, apiwellness, apinourish, apirevive, apifocus.

*I would recommend that you buy the 10+ Honey.

Have you tried any honey products? Let me know in the comments!
