Honey is a natural ingredient that has effective properties in moisturizing the skin. This is because the glucose and fructose content in honey can deeply nourish the skin, so it does not help maintain skin moisture, but also helps fight infection with its antimicrobial properties. Honey also contains alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) which helps exfoliate dead skin cells, so it can slowly smooth the skin.
