Yes, You Should Add Manuka Honey to Your Beauty Routine — Here’s Why

 Bonus! Lancôme Miel-en-Mousse Cleanser

Other honeys can work wonders too, as evidenced by Lancôme Miel en Mousse — a cult-favorite cleanser that uses Acacia honey to dissolve makeup and remove impurities. When mixed with water it emulsifies and becomes moussey so you can use it to cleanse. It’s a two-in-one product that’s perfect for anyone looking to simplify their skincare routine.

 Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter

A nourishing blend of argan oil, manuka honey and moringa — this natural balm gives lips added plump while still moisturizing and hydrating. Manuka soothes and hydrates while also sealing in moisture so you don’t have to worry about reapplying every few hours. It’s currently available in three shades and is $23 a tube, but the endless five-star reviews suggest it’s well worth the splurge.

 Dr. Roebuck’s Tama Healing Mask

This hydrating mask is designed to give skin a healthy, bright glow and is infused with turmeric, manuka honey and avocado oil. Manuka honey reduces redness, making it a great option post angry breakout and gives skin that fresh-from-vacation glow.

 SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate & Repair Protein Treatment

Perfect for bringing limp hair back to life, this strengthening cream helps to restore bounce and shine to hair. Manuka adds moisture and boosts shine while yogurt and mafura oil adds additional moisture and softens hair.

First Honey Ointment

This medical-grade honey can be used on pretty much anything, even though it’s an advertised as an ointment. It promotes faster healing, prevents infection and is perfect for dealing with any pimples that might come your way. Fair warning: It’s sticky, so use a cotton swab for easy application and let manuka work its magic.
