Back in 2016, Kourtney Kardashian, looking fresh-faced, was already busy promoting her new partnership! The petite reality TV star, recently named the global ambassador for Manuka Doctor skincare, attended a London photo call on June 8 of that year.
A Topless, Gold-Glazed Advertisement Debut
In April 2016, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star posed topless and coated in a gold glaze for a stunning advertisement.
Discovering Manuka Honey’s Natural Benefits
Like many others, Kourtney Kardashian was first introduced to the Manuka Doctor brand through its honey products before it expanded into skin care. Manuka honey is a unique type of honey produced by bees that pollinate the native New Zealand manuka tree.
In 2011, the New Zealand brand, which oversees 60,000 individual bee hives in the North and South islands, launched a collection of topical products for the U.K. health retailer Holland & Barrett.
“They would be taking spoonfuls since we are all around each other every day. I asked, ‘Why are you guys all eating this honey?’ They told me how great it is when you are getting sick,” she told WWD about how members of the production crew on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” initially introduced her to the honey.
“Once I had Mason [her son], I started getting really more into natural things, and I loved learning about more natural stuff. I really don’t take medicine.”
“I really liked the ingredients, and I love that the products are available at a lower price point. All around, I felt that it fit in with my lifestyle. That’s really what drew me to the brand,” Kardashian added.
“I love to use as natural skin-care products as I can. When I use harsh products, my skin breaks out. It’s [Manuka Doctor] really something I can feel good about believing in and using.”

The gray and black striped crop top looked edgy and sexy on the reality TV personality as it highlighted her trim waist.
She accentuated her legs with a pair of sleek black high-waisted skinny pants, which also drew attention to her curves without overdoing the sex appeal.
