Thyme & Manuka: The Dream Team Against Blemished Skin

Blemished skin prone to acne and pimples is a frustrating problem for many. Aggressive scrubbing and chemical products often only make the situation worse - but there is a gentler way: with the power of nature. Thyme and manuka honey are the new dream team in the fight against blemishes!

The Effect of Thyme on Blemished Skin

Thyme is not only an aromatic kitchen herb, but also has amazing abilities in skin care. The essential oil of the thyme herb contains a variety of active ingredients such as thymol, carvacrol and p-cymol, which have a positive effect on the skin:

• Antibacterial: Thyme inhibits the growth of bacteria that can cause blemishes and inflammation.
• Anti-inflammatory: The active ingredients counteract redness, swelling and irritation.
• Regulating: Thyme regulates sebum production, thus preventing clogged pores and pimples.
• Antioxidant: The herb protects the skin from free radicals and premature skin aging.

Especially for oily, blemish-prone skin, thyme can work true wonders. But sensitive, irritated skin also benefits from the soothing properties of the herb.

Manuka Honey - The Natural Problem Solver

Manuka honey is not just any honey - it has special powers that make it the ideal ally for skin problems. The honey comes from bees that collect the nectar of manuka bush blossoms, and it has amazing properties:

• Antibacterial: Manuka honey has a strong antibacterial effect and thus effectively fights acne-causing bacteria.
• Anti-inflammatory: It counteracts redness and inflammation and soothes irritated skin.
• Wound healing promoting: Manuka honey accelerates the healing of pimples and lesions and reduces the risk of scarring.
• Moisturizing: It provides the skin with intense moisture without clogging the pores.

Through its unique complex of active ingredients, manuka honey is particularly suitable for the care of blemished, irritation-prone skin. It fights bacteria, soothes and promotes skin regeneration.

How to Use Thyme and Manuka in Your Skin Care

Thyme and manuka honey can be integrated into the daily care routine in many ways. Here are a few effective applications:

1. As a face mask

Mix 1 tsp manuka honey with 1 drop of thyme oil and apply the mixture to cleansed face. Leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. The mask fights blemishes, soothes the skin and provides moisture.

2. As a spot treatment

Put a drop of thyme oil on a cotton swab and dab it specifically on pimples and blemishes. Leave on overnight. The oil has an antibacterial effect and allows pimples to heal faster.

3. As a cleansing additive

Mix a drop of thyme oil or 1 tsp manuka honey into your facial cleanser. This enhances the antibacterial effect and regulates sebum production for a refined complexion.

When using thyme oil, be sure to always dilute it - pure, it is too intense for the skin. Start with one drop and slowly increase the amount as needed.

A great product to complement is the Breylee Acne Treatment Serum. The serum with salicylic acid, niacinamide and zinc regulates sebum production, fights bacteria and accelerates regeneration - perfect for targeted treatment of blemishes.

The Salicylic Acid Exquisite Cream is also a must-have for blemished skin. The cream with BHA regulates excess sebum, clears clogged pores and counteracts inflammation and redness - for an even, refined complexion.
