Active Manuka Honey for Aging Skin
By Skin Care Editor | August 4, 2009
If you have ever considered the use of honey for aging skin, then I would have to tell you that it is certainly a good idea.
For many years, people got away from using this compound in order to alleviate the symptoms of aging, but the practice actually dates back thousands of years. It is rumored that this was a favored treatment by no less than Queen Cleopatra, but of course such reports are difficult to prove.
The reason that honey is such an excellent choice as an ingredient in an anti aging skin care product is because of the antioxidant properties that it has.
Different types of honey display varying levels of antioxidant activity, so it is wise to do your research in order to conclude which type is the one that is going to give you the greatest benefit. Then you can begin to look at the different products that use only this kind.
Products containing honey for aging skin are important due to the build-up of free radicals in your system over the course of your lifetime. Free radicals are formed through exposure to UV radiation from the sun, which is why those of us that have spent the greatest part of our lives working and playing in the great outdoors tend to have skin that ages more rapidly than other peoples do.
What free radicals do to your skin is they slowly cause it to break down at a cellular level. The damage that they cause can be repaired, so long as the treatment that you are using contains a high enough level of antioxidants.
That is why I always tell people to only use those products that are primarily comprised of plant based ingredients, since plants all have some level of antioxidant activity
The most potent honey for aging skin is active New Zealand Manuka honey. This particular compound has antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial properties that are so powerful that using the products that contain it can actually bolster your immune system.
It also has healing properties so magnificent that it is being studied for its effectiveness in treating antibiotic resistant skin ulcers.
What antioxidant rich natural compounds typically do is attack the damaging free radicals using one antioxidant cell for every free radical present.
This is an efficient way to go about it, but this method may only stem the tide if the free radicals in your system far outnumber your supply of antioxidant cells. This is when you have to have a secret weapon at your disposal.
In addition to active New Zealand Manuka honey for aging skin your product must contain a protein peptide and enzyme formula known as Cynergy TK.
This ingredient is capable of eradicating hundreds of thousands, and possibly even millions of free radicals using only a single cell. You will be able to eliminate the offenders, and have more than enough antioxidants left to quickly repair the damage that has been done.
Cynergy TK and active New Zealand Manuka honey for aging skin are the solution to all of your skin’s free radical problems.
You are probably wondering what company makes skin care products with these two amazing ingredients. A little known company that prides themselves on the quality and clinical testing of every skin care product they produce.
They are the Xtend Life Natural Products company. To learn more about their skin care products click here.
