You’ll find bee venom in our day cream and face mask, and it’s not as scary as it sounds. Bee venom therapy takes the properties of a bee sting and turns it into skincare magic. Applying small amounts of bee venom creams to the skin fools it into thinking it has been stung. Blood is sent to the affected area which in turn stimulates the production of collagen, which helps the skin stay firm and youthful. You can find out more about bee venom skincare over on our blog.
