Your skin is the largest organ in your body—amounting to about 20 square feet, and it plays some crucial roles in your body:
- Protects and insulates your other organs, muscles, and bones from infection, heat, injury, and sunlight.
- Protects you from environmental irritants.
- Stores water and helps to prevent water loss.
- Helps to regulate your body temperature.
Since your skin is so important, using skincare products that protect your skin is essential.
Beeswax, which is made from the honey collected by hard-working bees, can offer the same overall health benefits of honey: Allergies, cough, sore throat, and sunburn relief, just to name a few.
Here are the basics behind why you’d want to use skincare products made with beeswax on your precious skin:
- Provides a barrier between your body and the environment against toxins and inflammation.
- Moisturizes, softens, and lubricates the skin.
- Helps with certain skin conditions and infections.
- Cannot harm your skin.
Since the soap you use comes in direct contact with your skin, probably more than any other skincare product you might use, using soaps made with beeswax can make a huge difference in the health of your skin and in the health of your body overall.
While you’re probably used to seeing with soaps made with coconut in a variety of forms, milk products, vitamins and minerals, hibiscus, shea, citrus, different oils, aloe vera, and more on your store shelves, seeing soaps made with beeswax might be outside of your wheelhouse.
Let’s dive deeper into the reasons why beeswax in your soap can up your skincare game and the quality and feel of your skin day after day.
- All-natural cleanser, keeping that 20 feet of skin clean and free of dirt and irritants—100% naturally.
- Contains vitamin A, which can help with anti-aging, acne prevention, skin balance, skin firmness, and healing, leading to overall healthier skin. Vitamin A can also offer relief from dry, itchy skin, especially when it’s caused by skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis.
- Naturally moisturizes the skin by drawing moisture into the skin and sealing in any moisture, resulting in firmer, softer skin day in and day out.
- Contains antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties, which act as barriers to help protect the skin from environmental irritants like smoke, dust, smog, and so on.
- Anti-allergenic properties protect sensitive skin better than soaps manufactured with chemicals and synthetic ingredients.
- Won’t clog your pores, allowing your skin to breathe and helping to prevent acne breakouts.
- Provides a harder and thicker consistency which means your soap will last longer (saving you money over time) while increasing the amount of lather you’ll enjoy—all beneficial things to look for in soap.
When you use any skincare product made with beeswax, and beeswax soap, especially, you can be confident you’re gifting your skin with an all-natural, healing, and protective experience 24/7/365 no matter the season or the weather.
