A friend said that honey is the vomit of bees. This is not accurate. After bees collect a lot of pollen, they repeatedly ingest it? (Swallowing) And reflux? (registration). Forget it, I don't think English is acceptable-after I went in and out anyway. As a solid substance, pollen gradually becomes a semi-solid and liquid product. It is honey.

Made a hundred flowers honey, who are you working for and who are you sweet for?

The beekeeper came, waved his hand, and condensed the painstaking efforts of countless worker bees (really hard)) Honey will belong to human beings.

Because of such a complicated production process, the composition of honey becomes very complicated. Of course, the main components are fructose (28-4 1%), glucose (22-35%), maltose (7. 1), sucrose (1.3) and water (17). Honey also contains many other things. Skin care ingredients party is very clear:

Vitamin B2, vitamin B3 of nicotinic acid, relatives of nicotinamide), calcium pantothenate, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. ...

Then:

Calcium, iron, potassium, sodium and zinc ...

There are a lot of amino acids and enzymes.

Honey in different areas and different kinds of plants have very different characteristics. After all, honey is not only the fruit of bees' labor, but also the essence of plants.

Uncle, after talking about so many ingredients, do you mean that honey skin care products are very effective?

You can't say that wind is rain. Wait a minute, I'll tell you how the doctor uses honey.

Doctor's excuse

Western medicine has accepted the use of honey, especially for relieving cough. The results of experiments in Canada and Britain show that mixing honey and lemon juice has a good effect. It is said that it has the same effect as dextromethorphan and diphenhydramine.

Dermatologists and trauma doctors use honey as a tool for wound care. At present, studies have shown that a small amount of enzymes contained in honey can produce hydrogen peroxide and acetaldehyde, which is helpful to the faster recovery of wounds. There is also literature that honey helps to sterilize and diminish inflammation in wounds. Of course, this document is supported by honey manufacturers and is not particularly neutral.

In a word, honey is useful for doctors, but the serious literature we have seen so far is limited to the nursing of cough and wound, and it has no effect of "astringing pores" and "expelling toxin and beautifying face".

Used in skin care products

If there is no literature, look at the use of skin care products.

Searching in the database of "Beautiful Practice", honey, bee venom and other products mainly come from South Korea and Australia.

Oh, yes, many lipsticks and lipsticks contain beeswax. Let's not argue. Take a closer look at the formulas of these products. Generally, honey ranks fourth or fifth. The content is between 1-5%. -I have also consulted several formulators about whether the honey in these formulas is mainly used as a "moisturizing agent" or whether it uses the water-binding ability of fructose and maltose molecules.

I quote a senior formulator. "Although honey has a little anti-inflammatory effect, this concentration is not enough. Or give me glycyrrhizic acid directly. "

abstract

From the source and composition of honey, honey does contain beneficial ingredients, but unless 100% honey is used for wound care, the concentration and permeability of these ingredients are not enough to achieve the effect of skin care.

Skin care formula honey often uses moisturizing properties.

Therefore, from the current literature and prescription, I don't think honey skin care products have special functions other than moisturizing.

Regarding oral honey, there is no particularly strong literature to support the benefits to the skin, and now it is basically in a state of "waiting for research". Considering that a spoonful of honey contains so many calories and a lot of sugar, I think it is necessary to carefully consider whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Why acne skin must control sugar (must see the end).
