Bee venom is natures botox!
Recent research has shown that bee venom is just as effective as Botox at reducing fine lines and wrinkles and is possibly even more effective!
So how exactly does it work? The venom itself increases blood circulation, gently plumping out and firming the skin, filling and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. It also adds a rush of blood to the area and stimulates the production of collagen.
Bee venom doesn’t involve the same risks and costs as Botox. Unlike Botox, which paralyzes your facial muscles, bee venom actually improves the overall health and structure of your skin.
Don’t worry, no bees are harmed in the collection of bee venom!
The bee venom is obtained by a process called milking, which does not hurt the bees.
A glass plate is placed near a hive, and when the bees attack it, they leave a small amount of venom behind. The bees do not lose their stingers, so they return home safely. Once the venom is dry, beekeepers scrape it off of the glass. This is only done occasionally to aggressive colonies.
