Beauty
This product can also be used as a beauty balm, and will aid the healing of scarring, dryness and acne. It can be applied lightly to the face before bed, and removed with a facecloth and warm water in the morning before the usual beauty routine.
As a hair product, Mānuka Salve is excellent for hydrating dry ends of hair damaged by heat treatment. Comb a small amount through the ends of hair, where it can be left in. If the greasiness is too much, use it overnight to allow the ingredients to absorb, and wash out in the morning.
Pet care
Mānuka Salve is also safe as a healing cream for animals, for example hoof infections, flea bites, allergy rash and sores. It will not harm animals if ingested, and should be reapplied frequently to the affected area.
