The presence of free radicals will make the disruption of body cells and cause aging of the skin. The content of antioxidants in honey is able to counteract these free radicals and prevent various disorders caused by free radicals, including premature aging.
High low levels of antioxidants in honey can also be observed from the color of honey. It is estimated that the darker the color of honey, the higher the antioxidant content contained in it.
Honey turned out to help heal wounds. This is because honey contains antibacterial and antiseptic effects thanks to the hydrogen peroxide content. In addition, the acidic pH of honey (between 3.2-4.5) can inhibit bacterial growth.
Honey also has anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to disguise scars. This is because honey has the ability to speed up repair of blood vessels (due to damage to blood vessels during wounds), helps to accelerate the growth of damaged skin layers, promote excellent collagen to help repair the skin, and prevent scars and keloids.
Because of these unique abilities, honey is often used as a therapy to help wound healing and is often contained in cream compositions to treat burns or scratches caused by scratches.
