How honey enhances your beauty?
Honey has strong antimicrobial properties that help in killing a number of bacteria that are known for causing pimples and reduce breakouts. Its topical application on the skin can help to lessen redness and irritation as honey contains flavonoid and polyphenol compounds that reduce the activity of inflammatory compounds. Honey can help in exfoliation as well as it is rich in natural enzymes that help remove dead cells on the skin.
Beauty benefits of lemon juice
The use of lemon on the skin can reduce inflammation and too much oil secretion that contributes to acne formation as it has astringent qualities. It can help lighten the acne scars too. Lemon juice is also known for reducing the onset of dandruff and increase collagen formation, which is good for your skin and hair too. Notably, collagen is a protein that breaks down as you age and leads to wrinkles and fine lines. Collagen promotes healthy hair growth and prevents hair follicle damage.
