Manuka Honey - Are You Buzzing to try it?

Poll posted by BR Natalie

Guyyyyyys here's another incredible trial opportunity from fab Kiwi brand Wild Ferns.  I'm not going to spend anytime waxing poetic on this one, we have too much to get through.  So listen up, Manuka Honey in Skin Care 101 has begun.

Manuka-who-now? Manuka Honey comes from bees (well duh) that pollinate our native Manuka tree.  As well as being delicous, Manuka Honey isn't just a sweet treat from nature - it's an incredibly potent ingredient for skin care, and medicinal uses.

You see Manuka Honey, like other honies, contains a lot of sugar and not very much water, this means micro-organisms can't easily form and colonise. Manuka Honey also ontains special antibacterial properties including an enzyme that produces Hydrogen Peroxide, a proven antiseptic and antibacterial agent.  

As well as its antibacterial and anti-microbial properties, Manuka is full of proteins, vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants.  Antioxidants neutralise free radicals, lessening skin damaging and aiding the regeneration of new cells and tissue. 

AND as if nourishing, soothing and healing all skin types (including sensitive!) wasn't enough, Manuka Honey is a natural humectant; acting to prevent loss of moisture thereby retaining the skin's natural moisture. 

We're looking for thirty reviewers to put 3 products form the Wild Ferns Manuka Honey range to the test - if you're looking to include Manuka in your skin care, these might just be what you're looking for!
