The beneficial properties of honey and beeswax have long since been recognised by scientists and skin care experts from all over the world. Going as far back as ancient Egyptian times, beeswax has been known to heal and softens skin. It is also an antibacterial agent which can help fight conditions like acne, dry skin, eczema, and stretch marks.
The anti-inflammatory properties of beeswax encourage the healing of wounds. An essential quality for anyone looking to undergo cosmetic surgery treatment. Beeswax is also protective, helping form a barrier between the skin and the environment without clogging pores.
As for honey, a quick glance at a history book will reveal how the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and East Indians all used honey in their skin care preparations. In fact, the combination of milk and honey was known as the elixir of life, and Cleopatra’s most prized beauty secret.
However, with a proliferation of skin care products all boasting of the miraculous effects these ingredients, it is often difficult to choose a product that contains sustainable natural ingredients which also deliver on the promises made on the box.
During a ten day trial of Oil Cream Facial Moisturizer by Phenic Skincare, we are happy to report that this product more than delivers on its promises.
Made from a delicate blend of Squalane Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Shea Butter and Jasmine Powder among many other elements, this oil based cream contains as its key ingredients organic honey and beeswax. The result, say its manufacturers, is a cream that, after regular use, will leave your skin hydrated and glowing with an even complexion. To apply the cream couldn’t be easier; simply use the tips of your fingers to take a small amount of cream and massage gently on the face and neck.
After just ten days using Oil Cream Facial Moisturizer the results were impressive to say the least. My skin felt much softer and smoother and there was a noticeable glow that family and friends commented on. Oil Cream Facial Moisturizer has a light, unobtrusive scent that is far from overpowering and the cream absorbs very quickly into the skin. I also noticed that tell-tale dark patches of skin – a constant issue for many people – had virtually disappeared.
I was also pleased to note that Phenic has pledged to donate a percentage of their profits to The Honeybee Conservancy as a way of giving back to nature. So using Oil Cream Facial Moisturizer isn’t just good for my skin – it also helps the bees. An added bonus in my books.
Priced at a very reasonable $40, Oil Cream Facial Moisturizer is an accessible option for anyone looking for an ethically sourced and effective skin care product. Highly recommended.
