Honey is an edible cosmetic with good cosmetic effect and a long history. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a widely circulated story that Princess Yongle, the daughter of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, had a haggard face and poor skin. Later, because of the war, she fled to Shaanxi and often made tea with newly produced tung nectar. Three years later, she was gorgeous and graceful, completely different. Later, it was found that tung nectar can make "the fewer old people, the more beautiful they are", which has the functions of replenishing marrow, nourishing essence, improving eyesight and pleasing face.

Modern research shows that honey has comprehensive nutrition. Eating honey can make the body strong, and the appearance will change qualitatively, which is in line with the beauty theory of "nourishing before the show". In particular, honey has a strong antioxidant effect, which can remove the "garbage"-oxygen free radicals in the body, so it has the functions of keeping young and anti-aging, eliminating and reducing skin wrinkles and age spots, and looks young and beautiful.

Direct application with honey has a good cosmetic effect. 1998 Japan's Yomiuri shimbun family edition published an exclusive interview, introducing the female writer Lin Pingying's Forever Youth, which is completely unlike an 80-year-old man with no wrinkles on his face. The reporter asked her what cosmetic anti-wrinkle agent she used, and she replied that she had never used cosmetics such as beauty cream, pearl cream and anti-wrinkle agent. I just wipe my face with gauze dipped in some honey juice every morning for decades. My mother taught me this. She lived to be 90 years old and had few wrinkles on her face.

Modern research shows that when honey is applied to the skin surface, glucose, fructose, protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals in honey directly act on epidermis and dermis, providing nutrition for cells and promoting their division and growth.
