Bee Venom: The Natural Alternative to Botox

Back last year, and more recently in the last few weeks, the Daily Mail had published some articles about a new product line, called Heaven.

Read one of the articles by following this link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2133333/Kate-Middletons-beautician-reveals-bee-sting-secret-Duchess-blushing-bride.html

This new line of products contained "Bee venom", which naturally (along with other ingredients) acted like a botox injection. Products containing bee venom tightened the facial tissue and generally helped to create a more youthful appearence in people who were dealing with wrinkles and a slackening of skin due to the aging process.

Needless to say, I am intrigued!!! I love trying new products, especially if they promise to do something that hundreds of dollars worth of Botox can do!

The smallest jar of Bee Venom Mask (15ml) costs just 25 pounds! Now, you have to factor in the current exchange rate, but compared to other products out there, this is a steal, even if it ends up costing around $50 CDN (not including shipping rates)!

My plan is to test this out on my mother. She is 58 years old and although her skin is pretty good wrinkle-wise, it would be interesting to see what effect this cream had on her looser skin and the wrinkles that she does have.

Generally though, anyone who is noticing more and more wrinkles on their face should make sure that they are consuming good amounts of water daily. Aim to drink at least 4 glasses of water a day. This will ensure that your skin is getting the hydration it needs. This alone could provide some plumpness to your skin that wasn't there before - even without using a single product.

Also, make sure that you are using a good (and rich) moisturizer. You could probably afford to use it twice a day too (unless you suffer from breakouts). Always ensure that your moisturizer contains an SPF too, as this will help to protect you from the elements - which can lead to further damage of your skin.

Here is a picture (and the link) for the Bee Venom Mask:

  1. After a few moments, I came to realize this is not as dangerous as my initial thought – flash of a bee stinging a certain part of the face for the treatment. I know it’s silly. XD On a more serious note, this sounds promising, but I don’t think we can get this to the market immediately; unless, of course, some giant in the industry would help introduce this along with a very famous endorser. But I do hope this would push through in the near future. -->Shavonda
