You know, it seems there’s not a day that goes past without seeing yet another advertisement for yet another skin care product claiming to reduce premature aging. In fact, it seems it’s now the latest craze for any wannabe celebrity to have their own beauty range.
It stands to reason really when you consider just how much money the beauty industry is worth and everybody even remotely famous seems to want to cash in.
That’s why I was surprised to hear that an ‘A’ rated celebrity such as Cindy Crawford had released her own skin care range. After all, I doubt she needs the money, so I was intrigued to learn more.
Now, after seeing a recent documentary on anti-aging creams I was extremely skeptical about this latest wonder treatment. Especially when a variety of skin care creams were compared like for like and a poll of women agreed that a particular $2.00 cream under test was considered to be just as good as a cream forty times more expensive.
What also caught my eye was that Cindy Crawford’s beauty treatments core ingredient utilised a special kind of melon only found in a certain part of remote France.
Apparently, this unique melon has the ability to repel free radicals a lot longer than standard varieties. This basically means that the skin doesn’t age at the same rate; therefore, the melon is preserved for longer.
Cindy Crawford has applied the core ingredient of this super melon to her beauty range and Bingo! Meaningful Beauty was borne.
What’s also different is that Meaningful Beauty is a multi-part skin care system, and all of the products have been formulated to be used in combination with each other for the best possible results.
The range includes: Gentle Cleanser, Daytime Moisturizer, Night Time Moisturizer, Eye Cream, Facial Mask, and Neck Cream.
But the big question though, is it any good?
In a word YES, it’s very good. The entire range is as good a beauty treatment as we’ve tested, and believe me I’m as shocked as anybody, considering, and I may be over simplifying things here, that a melon can actually make you look younger?
What’s more, you’ll see visible results in just a few short days of use, and she’ll also offer you a money back guarantee if you’re not totally satisfied. This is great news for anybody looking to achieve younger looking skin and worried about buying a product that doesn’t work.
However, I doubt you’ll be looking for a refund as I’m sure you’ll be amazed at the results just like I was.

Honey contain mainly carbohydrates, water, vitamins and minerals, including niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.
Honey is also rich in enzymes, antioxidants and other phytonutrients. It also contains flavonoids and phenolic acids which act as antioxidants, scavenging and eliminating free radicals. These antioxidants substances found in honey have been responsible for the wound-healing properties of honey. Due to its wound-healing properties, honey has been used widely as an antiseptic therapeutic agent for treatment of ulcers, burns and wounds for centuries.
HOW HEALING of WOUND WORKS By USING HONEY
Due to its contents of glucose and fructose, which attract water, honey absorbs water from wound, drying it out so that the growth of bacteria and fungi are inhibited. Secondly, an enzyme called glucose oxidase found in raw honey, which if combined with water, produces hydrogen peroxide, a mild antiseptic for medication benefits.
BEAUTY BENEFITS Of HONEY
The vitamins, minerals and amino acids found in honey make it a wonderful beauty aid. It provides great nutritional value to the skin and hair and the effects will be seen if taken over a period of time. In fact if taken for longer period of time, it helps our skin to glow more radiantly, helps to reduce wrinkles, thus making us look younger.

Honey also increases the growth and activity of good bacteria in the gut. Results from recent studies show that taking honey with dairy products such as yogurt can enhance growth and viability of bifidobacteria.
Other benefits of honey are its anti-inflammatory actions which help in treating a sore throat.
HOW To TAKE HONEY As HEALTH SUPPLEMENT
Honey can be taken as it is in one tea spoon without mixing with water first thing in the morning or anytime in the day as you wish. For me I prefer to take honey as it is with royal jelly and propolis in the morning before breakfast and drink. It provides me with energy for the whole day with royal jelly as a good beauty aid and propolis a great antioxidant too. After a short period of time, my complexion improved tremendously with intake of honey and this motivated me to continue taking it knowing that it has high antioxidant and healing power too.
