Benefits of honey and hibiscus
hibiscus contains high levels of vitamin C - an ingredient that helps improve dull skin, naturally brightening the skin. AHA ( alpha hydroxy acid) in flowers helps gently exfoliate, remove dirt and the layer of horn on the skin, making the skin more airy and smooth. In addition, antioxidants in hibiscus also help neutralize free radicals - the cause of wrinkles and pigmentation spots, thereby helping to slow down the aging process.
Meanwhile, honey acts as a natural moisturizer and retainer, helping to maintain skin moisture in all weather conditions. Combining water-rich aloe vera gel also helps soothe the skin, enhancing the hydration and moisturizing effects of honey.
