Bee Pollen for Skin Health!
I received an email the other day asking if taking bee pollen can cause acne? Cause acne? Actually, quite the contrary. I recommend you actually use bee pollen for skin health. All of the nutrients found in pollen will actually help nourish and protect your skin. Glowing, healthy skin is just one of
the many benefits of bee pollen.
My mom has great skin too – I only tell you this because I think that daily intake of raw honey and bee pollen really help in our quest for naturally gorgeous skin. But so does your lifestyle and drinking a lot of water as well as taking really good quality healthy fats every day. For example, I also use Borage oil and a product called Biosil. In fact, I have a whole list of recommendations in my latest article.
Anti Aging?Your skin can become younger looking and less vulnerable to wrinkles, smoother and healthier with the use of bee pollen (both internally and externally).Not only does Bee Pollen help clear up acne conditions, it is also a great anti-aging food and ingredient for the skin due to its very high ORAC value.(it absorbs damaging free radicals) Due to its high content of Nucliec Acids (the building blocks of RNA and DNA), Bee Pollen will prevent premature aging of the cells and stimulate the growth of new skin tissues. When Bee pollen penetrates the skin it automatically nourishes the cells and tissue beneath the skin. It can act as a moisturizer for dry skin and wrinkles and creases.
