Beauty products infused with honey have many antibacterial properties which can help with antiageing and skin healing. Comvita's Medicare range is made using medical-grade honey such as that used in some US hospitals and is especially helpful for people with dry skin or eczema. Another good thing about raw honey: its eternal shelf life, meaning it will never go off.
Here are a few of our favourite honey beauty picks:
