Kourtney Kardashian's Skincare Secret Is Sweet

Kourtney Kardashian is very vocal about her love of all things natural. Recently, she talked about how she drinks ghee every morning, and this week the Kourtney Kardashian revealed that honey is the secret to her glowing skin.

Now, don't just think that you can head to your nearest grocery store, buy the first bottle of honey you see, slather it on your face and all of a sudden have fabulous skin. Kardashian doesn't just use any old honey — she uses manuka honey.

Manuka honey, which is from New Zealand, has been touted for its antibacterial properties, in addition to its ability to increase cell production post-infection. Kardashian told E! that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians crew would use manuka honey when they were sick, which inspired Kardashian to include it in her daily routine.

In addition to consuming spoonfuls of the stuff, Kardashian uses a line of New Zealand-made skincare products called Manuka Doctor, which are formulated with manuka honey. The product line features an array of items, from a bronzing gel with manuka honey to a set for acne-prone skin. Kardashian very eagerly endorsed the brand, since she loves manuka honey unconditionally.

According to dermatologist Doris Day, honey is often used as an antiseptic, telling CNN that honey "creates a barrier on wounds that's breathable, like skin." Honey is often used to treat acne, eczema and also does a good job at exfoliating.
