Beating Acne with Manuka Honey

beautiful acne free skin Beating Acne with Manuka HoneyThe manuka tea tree bush blossoms only in the dry areas of certain parts of New Zealand and eastern Australia. Every year, a swarm of bees alight on these bushes and produce a sweet honey that packs a surprising wallop of antibacterial power.

For countless years, the native New Zealand Maori have used the benefits of the Manuka bush in traditional healing medicine. Parakeets both ingest and use it topically to rid themselves of unwanted bacteria and parasites. It has even been shown to destroy MRSA and e.coli bacteria. This type of honey is so uniquely antibacterial and anti-fungal that scientists have established a standardized system to identify the most powerful products. All Manuka honey is rated on the Unique Manuka Factor or UMF. A minimum UMF of 15 is preferable for those looking for a product to fight acne and repair irritated skin.

Manuka honey can be eaten for a boost to your immune system, applied on the skin to calm and heal burns and rough, raw areas or dabbed on pimples to kill off the bacteria that causes acne. Applying a glob and sealing the spot with a bandage overnight works like a charm to eradicate those cystic pimples and whiteheads.

Because of the law of supply and demand, Manuka honey is more expensive than most other types of honey. It can be tempting to purchase one of the cheaper options that appear on store shelves. However, these suspiciously inexpensive jars are rarely pure. They are mixes of different kinds of honey, given the label to fool consumers, and will not be as effective against your pimples and acne. Always look for the UMF rating on the label.

Because it is so good at killing off insidious bacteria, Manuka Honey never expires or spoils. It should be stored in a cool, dry area and never heated above 105 degrees Fahrenheit, as heating raw honey to high temperatures destroys its nutrients and enzymes.

Who would have thought that an obscure rural region of New Zealand would end up producing honey so strong and yet so gentle that doctors and hospitals all over the world would be snapping up tubes of it for patient care?

Manuka Honey for Acne

honey jar1 Manuka Honey for AcneHoney is renowned for its anti-bacteria and healing properties. It has been used in treating skin problems and in healing different types of wounds for more than 2000 years, each time having spectacular results. With more than 500 receipts containing honey, the Egyptians are the ones who most exploited its potential. Nowadays, people from all over the world turn to honey when they have sore throats, acne or they are in some kind of pain. They also use it to keep their skin wrinkle-free, smooth and soft, as honey has antioxidant properties that make the skin healthier.

The honey available on the market is divided in several categories, depending on whether it is raw or processed, the part of world from where it comes or the type of flowers from where is collected. The most appreciated type of honey is the raw one, because it retains more of its curative potential. If you want to choose the best type of honey for treating your acne, then search for Manuka honey. It is collected from the homonymous bush from New Zeeland and has the best anti-bacterial and healing potential. This anti-microbial feature has brought Manuka honey an UMF (Unique Manuka factor) rating label which shows its effectiveness in the fight with infectious organisms.

You can benefit from the positive effects of honey by using it as a mask. This is a good how to get rid of acne overnight treatment. In addition to healing your acne, like other topical products, honey does not dry, peel or flake up your skin.

There are many ways in which a honey mask can be done. The first and the simplest is the one in which you apply the honey directly on your skin. You can also mix it with cinnamon, a little lemon juice and oatmeal (or some toasted wheat germ), apply the mixture on your skin and let it there for 20-30 minutes, or more if you like. Then take it off with warm water. If you stay in the house all day long you can put the honey directly on the breakouts and leave it there for more time to calm the inflammation. It also diminishes the redness as if it were a cucumber mask.

Honey can be used in other, more complex combinations, too, but they are rather troublesome and hard to make, so try these simple ones for now.

Honey is very good, indeed, but it is not good for all the problems concerning acne. For example, it is very good to treat the acne caused by bacteria, but it will not treat the scars left behind by it. Also, if the skin condition is caused by hormonal dysfunction honey masks are not enough. You will have to change your diet and your lifestyle if you want to totally get rid of your skin problems.
