Next being aware of MGO Certification is the next number to look for when choosing your skincare honey. The MGO rating is well recognized as a mark of real Mānuka honey; the higher the MGO rating in Mānuka honey, the higher the level of antibacterial activity, Mānuka’s key differentiator and global appeal.
You can only purchase rare and Medicinal Mānuka from Mira, and the MGO IS 850+ If you want more education on the number and where we source our honey place follow this link!
This article from healthlline outlines the benefits of Mānuka honey for acne prone skin, and can be used on all skin types as a gentle mask and exfoliant as well as a cleanser. You can mix with any of the Botnia dry masks when masking or honey tapping!
My favorite way to apply my Mānuka is by Honey taping!
Honey Tapping is a gentle lymphatic movement you can use on your skin weekly.
Apply your honey to clean & dry skin, and just as you would begin a lymphatic facial massage or gua sha treatment you would utilize the natural stickiness of your honey to gently kickstart your lymphatic system!
Beginning on your neck and above your collar bone, you will gently allow the tips of your fingers to pulse and gently lift your skin! I have read other practitioners liken it to fingers playing on a piano! Think of that movement when you dance your fingers around your face!
Focus on areas of congestion as well! This amazing https://corp.shiseido.com/en/releimg/2455-e.pdf document discusses "Relationship between Impaired Lymphatic Function and “Sagging” Skin" also this article from that really discusses lymphatic drainage as an aid against puffy, dull skin! HERE!
My focus is in my personal treatment is to aid in nasal congestion, and I love to treat my lips while the honey begins to get extra sticky! You are welcome to add a little water if you feel your fingers are no longer allowed to gently lift from your skin! Leave the honey masked on your skin for 15-25 minutes, and remove!
Once removed, you can simply apply a hydrosol followed by a moisturizer or face oil for a simple and minimalist skin care routine!
Your skin will be glowing & improvement to your skin can be see in as little as 7 days!
Remember you can also ingest this honey daily to aid in

Note** I would not recommend honey tapping for clients with rosacea, reactive, or sensitive skin! I would just stick with simply masking only.
