We all know that Manuka Honey is a deliciously sweet and natural taste sensation.
Sourced from some of New Zealand's most pure and remote locations, it’s renowned worldwide for its unique flavour and natural, nutritious properties.
But did you know Manuka Honey is also one of nature's special gifts for your skin? Soothing, moisturising, brightening, nourishing and clarifying…Comvita Manuka Honey is a beautiful, natural addition to your skincare regime.
So, what are all the Manuka Honey uses for your skin? Read on to find out what the buzz is all about and how you can incorporate Manuka Honey into your daily skincare routine.
With Australia’s extreme seasons, it’s no wonder our skin can look and feel parched and dry, especially if we spend a lot of time outdoors. Manuka Honey is a natural humectant, meaning that it draws moisture into your skin and locks it there. The enzymes in Manuka Honey also helps this moisture to penetrate deeply and bring much-needed relief to the deep layers of our skin.
As we get older, our skin can become thinner and drier, and may not look as plump and smooth as it once did. And for those of us who’ve spent years out in Aussie’s harsh sun, this may show up as skin damage, wrinkles, age spots and dryness.
However, what Mother Nature may take away from us as we age, she can restore through the beauty of Manuka Honey, which is often used as a moisturiser to help keep wrinkles, frown lines, and damaged skin at bay. That’s because the natural amino acids contained within Manuka Honey make it a popular choice for protecting and promoting collagen health.
Manuka Honey contains unique antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which can help in treating breakouts. Instead of using harsh, skin-stripping products, try Manuka Honey to help soothe away acne and spots and add valuable moisture to your skin.
Got a skin blemish? Wash your face and apply Comvita Manuka Honey topically directly onto those pesky red spots with a Q-tip. It also helps remove dead skin cells due to the gentle amino acids contained within this natural cleansing agent.
Looking for a sweet way to exfoliate your skin? Mix about one tablespoon of Comvita Manuka Honey with 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda, then add a pinch of salt. Apply to a clean, wet face, and massage into the skin in a circular motion. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. This treatment is ideal for gently scrubbing away blackheads on the face, but you can also use it to exfoliate other parts of the body (including your decolletage, arms, legs, even the lips).
Amongst Manuka Honey’s many wonderful ingredients is a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide. This gives it mild lightening properties which can support the healing of scars and hyperpigmented skin, naturally.
When you live downunder, sometimes it’s hard to hide from the sun, no matter how hard you try! Just as Comvita Manuka Honey can be used to support wound treatment, and it can also help to soothe sunburn – promoting the healing of damaged skin and reducing inflammation.
Your skin is precious, so with all of these tips and treatments, make sure that you’re using a high-quality Manuka Honey, like Comvita for all your skin treatments. The quality and purity matters! And remember to do a patch test before using Manuka Honey on your skin or hair, especially if you have any allergies or sensitivities.
Does your skin need soothing, exfoliating, re-invigorating or moisturising? A dollop o fComvita Manuka Honey can boost your beauty in so many ways – and it’s totally natura. Here are some delicious Manuka Honey face masks that you can try at home.
Looking for a pick-me-up for tired skin? Manuka Honey pairs with antioxidant coffee in this get-up-and-go face mask.
Combine one to two tablespoons each of Manuka Honey and fresh coffee grounds. Apply to a clean, dry face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. When rinsing off, massage gently and then pat dry.
When dry skin calls, this Manuka Honey face mask answers. Manuka Honey and avocado are known as a power duo for moisturising thirsty skin. Mix together quarter of a very ripe avocado, one tablespoon of Manuka Honey, and half a teaspoon of coconut oil. Apply to clean, dry skin and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
For irritated skin, oatmeal and Manuka Honey are the perfect pairing. For this mask, grind quarter of a cup of oatmeal into a flour-like consistency. Mix one tablespoon of Manuka Honey and one tablespoon of olive or almond oil in a small bowl, and then stir in small amounts of the oat flour until it resembles a wet paste.
Smooth the mixture onto clean, dry skin and leave on for about 5-10 minutes, massaging gently as you rinse it off. It’s skincare that’s good enough to eat!
What could be more natural than Manuka Honey? No chemicals. No additives. No colourings. Just sun, rain and the hard work of our busy bees colleting nectar from Manuka (leptospermum scoparium) trees, native only to New Zealand.
This natural gift from Mother Nature is believed to be especially good for eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions.
If you have sensitive skin, use higher UMF™ levels like Comvita UMFᵀᴹ 10+ or UMFᵀᴹ 15+ Manuka Honey as a single-ingredient facemask, or add it to your favourite DIY clean beauty masks.
We think so! Dampen your face and hands with warm water then use a spoon, or clean fingers, to scoop the honey out of its jar. Rub the honey gently between your palms and smooth evenly onto your face, gently massaging and ‘washing’ just like you would with a cleanser before rinsing off with warm water.
It can be a bit of a sticky business, but when you see the results, it’s definitely worth it. And if a bit gets into your mouth during the treatment, yum, that’s just a bonus!

Manuka Honey is a humectant (that strange word that means it retains or preserves moisture), so it goes to work on skin elasticity as well as skin cell regeneration.
