 According
to the National Honey Board honey is a natural humectant, meaning it attracts
and retains moisture. This makes honey an ideal ingredient for beauty
products ranging from bubble bath to face cream.
Honey helps soothe skin as well as ban dead skin. Benefit's Honey Snap
Out of It Scrub ($23 at Benefitcosmetics.com)
includes a proprietary blend of honey and almond paste exfoliates and
moisturizes. We also like Brown Sugar Body Souffle by LaLicious, ($30
at B-glowing.com).
Oils, pure cane sugar, vitamin E and honey exfoliate and moisturize. Plus,
the sugar crystals are so fine that they never feel gritty.
