Back to the Honey Board
Although I try new body lotions all the time, I often find myself going back to purchase my favorite one - Kiss My Face Honey & Calendula moisturizer. There are a multitude of other ones that also use high-quality ingredients, but I find many do not seem to measure up in terms of hydration.
The use of Honey as a skin moisturizer stems back to the days of early Egypt where it was used to add moisture to the skin and prevent wrinkles. This ancient remedy was referred to as “the secret of eternal youth.” The skin’s ability to stay hydrated is an important factor in its ability to maintain softness and elasticity. As skin ages, or is exposed to Free Radicals, it loses its ability to retain water and, subsequently, can become dry and appear wrinkled. Honey attracts moisture from the air and, its use in a moisturizer, aids in the skin’s ability to remain hydrated. Additionally, Honey is an anti-irritant so may be suitable for sensitive skin. Calendula (the plant marigold) is also a superior ingredient used in this body lotion. This natural herb is especially effective on dry skin, and has long been thought to help with a range of skin ailments. Who wouldn’t want their skin to be as sweet as honey?!

I totally agree. Love this moisturizer and the other one from Kiss My Face. There is a heavier, newer version - I prefer the original which is lighter.
