Perfectly Posh Ingredients 101 - Honey


Honey's ability to absorb and retain moisture helps keep skin hydrated and fresh and prevents drying. It is known that ancient beauties regularly applied a mixture of honey and milk to the face to keep the skin young-looking, radiant, and smooth.

Honey's natural antioxidant and anti-microbial properties help to protect the skin from the damage of the sun's rays, and supports the skin's ability to rejuvenate and refresh depleted skin, leaving it feeling silky soft and supple.
One of the most common natural skin care benefits with honey is related to treatment of minor acne which could be caused by hormonal changes. Honey absorbs impurities from the pores on the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent.
Hydrogen peroxide is a component of honey. It gives most honey its antibiotic quality. But some types of honey, including manuka honey, also have other components with antibacterial qualities.

Manuka honey is found in our Honey Dip {Chunk} soap. Honey is also in our Honey, Honey! Hand Cream and Body Cream, as well as our It's the Bees Knees body scrub and Muddy Honey body mask.

Ingredients 101 - Pumpkin


• Pumpkin is packed with fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which increase cell turnover, to brighten and smooth the skin.

• Pumpkin contains antioxidant Vitamin A and Vitamin C to help soften and soothe the skin and boost collagen production to prevent the signs of aging.

• Zinc in pumpkin seeds is brilliant for acne sufferers. Zinc will help control the hormone level and oil production, as well as assist with healing of the skin.

• Pumpkin seeds are high in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which are necessary to maintain good barrier function of the skin. They also regulate sebum, great for an oily skin.

• The molecular structure of pumpkin is small and therefore can penetrate deeper into the skin when used topically. This is amazing for treating a dull complexion, aging skin and pigmentation.
 
Pumpkin can be found in the Smashing Good Pumpkin face and body anti-acne face and body mask, and the limited edition "Spooky Posh" Pie to Die For pumpkin pie body scrub.
