Get To Know The Benefits Of Nature’s Beauty Bounty

Beauty By Nature

Being in natural surroundings has been shown to reduce stress and increase calm. It also has health benefits, such as improving blood pressure, reducing heart rate, relieving muscle tension and diminishing the production of stress hormones. Incredibly, nature has even more to offer when it comes to beauty. We’ve gathered some of the most powerful beauty-boosters the earth has to offer, so incorporate a little of the environment into your beauty routine and enjoy the benefits of Mother Nature’s gifts.

MIND YOUR BEESWAX, HONEY!

We’ve been made increasingly aware of the importance of our little buzzing friends in recent years. Bees are crucial to our food supply: in fact, it’s been estimated that one-third of our food relies primarily on pollination by these insects. They also provide us with beeswax and honey, incredible substances which come from the worker bees (which are, unsurprisingly, female!) and the honeycomb. Look for beauty products containing beeswax and honey, as they offer a wealth of beauty benefits and uses, including:

EFFECTIVE MOISTURISATION

Beeswax is rich in emollient properties and vitamin A, which are renowned for their skin-repairing abilities. It’s also non-comedogenic, which means it doesn’t clog pores and helps keep moisture locked in. Beeswax can also be used to treat dry, rough and chapped skin, and is helpful in treating certain skin conditions. Honey is used in a massive variety of beauty products, particularly for its skin-repairing and collagen-building properties. The sugars in honey are natural emollients, increasing your skin’s water content, promoting softness and reducing dryness.
