Why The Swisse Manuka Honey Detoxifying Facial Mask Is A Best-Seller

The Swisse Manuka Detoxifying Facial Mask is sourced from pure natural ingredients – and in Australia, we love that. We love it even more if it actually works! And Manuka honey really does.

A little detail … Manuka honey is native to New Zealand and is produced by the bees that pollinate the Manuka bush. Topically, this honey is known for its soothing and healing properties and has been used by traditional societies for hundreds of years.

Over at Swisse they combined this star ingredient with kaolin clay and charcoal, both of which help to help detoxify skin from impurities and reduce the appearance of large skin pores,” says Swisse Technical Manager Innovation, Antoinette-Louise Barnardo.

Obviously, it’s a quality product that sells for an awesome price and Australian beauty fanatics know it. Hence the number one in pharmacy status.

On the topic of masks – boy are they popular right now. And here’s why. Masks are incredibly beneficial – and not just for boosting your Instagram feed. You see, masks are intensely soaked in (if they’re of the sheet variety) or made up of (the smooth on type) high levels of active ingredients – the kind that actually create a change in skin as opposed to just sit on top of it.

Think vitamins A, C or niacinamide for example -all proven anti-agers. Others are based on ingredients such as charcoal (which draws out dirt and grime) or hyaluronic acid (which provides deep moisture).
Given that, there are masks out there that can ease sun spots, increase moisture levels, smooth and soften. They can reduce oily patches and minimise the appearance of pores too. And they can do so in just 10 to 15 minutes. Look out!

The secondary benefit (and it’s a big one), masks force you to take a moment to do nothing. And this is every bit as beneficial for your skin (and wellbeing) as the mask itself.

We recommend you try one today. Go on. Take 10 to 15 minutes for yourself. And gain a beauty benefit or three while you’re at it. Yes, we love the Swisse Manuka version, but if that doesn’t take your fancy there’s a swag of others to choose from. Here, a handful of our current faves.
