Lovinah’s Supernatural Skincare, as they call it, merges “Ancient African beauty ritual” with “modern technology.” Founded, by Joy Ekhator, who was raised in a traditional African home in Nigeria, the brand has always been guided by adherence to a traditional range of plant-powered African botanical ingredients and given a boost by modern, clinically proven bio-active ingredients.
This merging of the modern and traditional can be seen in Lovinah’s highly-acclaimed product line, which boasts crowd favorites like Dragon’s Blood BHA Cleansing Oil, Antioxidant Cream, and Goddess Glow Bio-Retinol Balm, which, like all Lovinah products are carefully blended in micro-batches and variously formulated to moisturize, soothe and awaken the skin.
These top-performers are now highlighted by one of Lovinah’s newest additions to its product line, their Royal Jelly Hydrating Overnight Mask.
Royal Jelly and Skin Care
Honey has a long history of use in skin care and beauty routines. Honey may have natural antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Honey is also full of polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants. In addition, honey is also a natural humectant and emollient; with such a rich profile of advantages, it’s no surprise that honey has been used for so long as a base or a treatment in skin care and beauty products.
But what about royal jelly, a similar hive-product to honey? Can royal jelly offer any of the same purported benefits of honey or others of its own?
Bees typically produce honey from nectar when it is available and abundant, storing it in their hive to feed both them and their larvae throughout the year and holding them over when food is scarce. It’s no wonder it’s rich in nutrients.
Bees also produce royal jelly, a sweet, milky white substance, is also produced by honeybees. Royal jelly is rich in sugar and proteins, like honey, but unlike honey, royal jelly comprises the exclusive diet of the Queen bee of the hive.
Royal jelly, like honey, is a natural humectant and emollient. It is also full of nutrients and antioxidants, and may be able to fight inflammation – but royal jelly lays claim to several unique benefits of its own.
Royal jelly is fairly rich in lipids and proteins and is believed to be able to promote collagen production. As a result, it may be able to help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It may also help keep the skin looking and feeling young and plump, and since it may promote collagen production, may also be effective (alongside the use of other UV protectants and sunscreens) in mitigating UV-related damage.
Royal jelly is also said to be full of antioxidants and antiradical agents, and as such, it may possibly be effective as an antiaging ingredient. Together with its purported ability to boost collagen production, royal jelly may be effective to reduce the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. It may also be able to fight inflammation.
Additionally, royal jelly is believed to contain antibacterial and antifungal properties, which may also help reduce inflammation and promote the healing of wounds when used topically.
Because royal jelly is a natural moisturizer and humectant, it can both help skin become and remain hydrated, and may even be able to promote healthier skin barrier function.
Because of these many reputed benefits, creators of skincare products like Lovinah have been quick to adopt new formulations that include royal jelly – much like Lovinah has done in its Royal Jelly Hydrating Overnight Mask.
Lovinah Skincare’s Powerful, Proprietary Blend
While the star of Lovinah Royal Jelly Hydrating Overnight Mask is, of course, the royal jelly, it also features a unique complex of plant stem cells and peptides that, together with royal jelly may rejuvenate and restore tired-looking and feeling skin.
Among its other potent bio-active ingredients are snail mucin, bakuchiol, and special liposomes that boost the skin’s natural appearance, improving the tone and appearance of the skin, restoring firmness and an even tone for a youthful appearance and a feeling of rejuvenation.
How to Use It
One of the great things about Lovinah Royal Jelly Hydrating Overnight Mask is how easy it is to use. Simply apply a thin layer of this mask to the skin of your face and neck after cleansing and toning. Massage any excess into the skin; let it sit overnight and wake up to the results – smooth, radiant, and hydrated skin that looks and feels younger!
