Winter Skin, Restored: The Kanuka Honey Ritual
After a season of sun and outdoor activity, the arrival of winter air often leaves the skin feeling depleted. As humidity drops and indoor heating rises, your skin requires a gentle, intentional reset to maintain its natural barrier and glow.
For a moment of restoration, we look to the hive. Our BeeNZ Kanuka Honey is the cornerstone of a simple, potent DIY treatment that calms the complexion without the need for complex chemicals.
Why Kanuka Honey?
Known for its natural anti-inflammatory properties, Kanuka honey deeply hydrates and soothes redness. Unlike heavy creams, it nourishes the skin while remaining breathable and non-comedogenic—making it an ideal choice for sensitive or winter-worn skin.
The 15-Minute Ritual
-
Apply: Smooth approximately one tablespoon of raw Kanuka honey onto clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area.
-
Pause: Allow the honey to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. This is a perfect window for a morning tea or a quiet moment of reflection.
-
Rinse: Wash with cool water and gently pat dry.
-
Seal: Follow with your preferred lightweight facial oil or moisturizer to lock in the hydration.
The Elevated Version: While Kanuka is powerful on its own, you may choose to blend it with a touch of aloe vera or organic Greek yogurt for an extra boost of cooling hydration. Get the Recipe.
