Glowing or radiant skin is a sign of healthy skin. The health of the skin is further dependent on proper nourishment; which includes proper cleansing, along with hydration and nutrient supply. Milder soaps cannot properly cleanse the skin. And harsher ones do rid the skin of impurities; but also steal away its moisture. But, neither cleansing nor moisturizing can be ignored.

As for hydration, it strengthens the cells, maintains skins elasticity, delays wrinkling. And a well hydrated skin is less prone to damage from external factors.

Its cleansing activity is attributable to the presence of methylglyoxal; which renders it anti-bacterial property. This makes it effective against acne and other skin infections. And its anti-irritant property helps soothe the skin. Honey exhibits anti-oxidant properties too.
