What is the primary use of honey in skin treatments?

Cooling and refreshing
Hydrating and tightening
Strengthening capillary walls
Soothing irritation

The correct answer is: Hydrating and tightening

Honey is widely recognized for its hydrating and skin-tightening properties. It acts as a natural humectant, which means it attracts moisture from the environment and helps retain it in the skin. This characteristic makes honey an excellent ingredient in various skincare formulations, particularly for treatments aimed at improving skin hydration and overall texture. By maintaining moisture levels, honey can also contribute to a tightening effect on the skin, enhancing its firmness and elasticity over time. This is particularly beneficial in treatments designed for aging skin or for improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While honey does have soothing properties that can help alleviate irritation, and it may offer some minor benefits related to cooling and refreshing the skin, its primary role in skincare treatments is focused on delivering hydration and contributing to skin tightening. This makes it a versatile and effective ingredient in esthetician practices.
