The healing properties found in the polyphenols of tea seed oil, honey, citrus bergamot and cinnamon will offer protection from damage, aging, fine lines, and wrinkles.  Asian cultures have revered tea seed oil, not only for how it can improve your health as a cooking oil but for how it enhances the beauty and promotes cellular repair.   Tap into the science of what beauty and cosmetic industry leaders already know, that topical ceramides like those found in wheat germ replenish your natural lipid loss, helping your skin to retain moisture while strengthening its natural barrier properties.  Humectants are another important common beauty care ingredient used to reduce moisture loss.  Instead of using harmful petroleum-based humectants, this simple recipe uses honey to naturally keep your skin vital and glowing.
