Next time a buzzing bee is annoying you, you might want to thank him instead for making a divine all-in-one natural ingredient for your skin, hair and body. Honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee venom and beeswax (all byproducts of bees) are major players in the beauty world for their scientifically proven, nature-made benefits.

If you're not sure exactly what royal jelly and propolis are -- let us help. Royal jelly is a milky secretion produced by worker honeybees, and propolis, often call 'bee glue,' is made from a mix of bee saliva and beeswax that, bluntly, resembles white snot. These bee byproducts tout anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, soothing benefits for skin, scalp and hair.

"Honey is naturally antibacterial and has been used for centuries on acne and wounds to prevent infection and expedite healing," explains Dr. Bruce Robinson, a New York City Dermatologist, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Lenox Hill Hospital and spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology. "It clarifies the skin and opens up pores making them easy to unclog -- its 'sticky' properties adhere to whiteheads and blackheads to help dislodge them." Robinson says honey is also a natural antioxidant, so it not only prevents environmental damage such as ozone and other oxidative stress, it's great for anti-aging.

Natural sugars acting as humectants give honey its anti-aging power-punch, drawing moisture from the deeper layers of the skin to the top layer as well as hydrating skin from the top down. "Honey produces hydrogen peroxide which is antibacterial, and also creates a chemical environment that's toxic to bacteria by robbing them of needed water,' explains New York dermatologist Dr. Neal Schultz, host of DermTV.com and creator of BeautyRx by Dr. Schultz. This is why honey gives skin a gorgeous glow.
