Uses of Bee Venom In Beauty and Skin Care Products

The use of honey and other bee products can be traced back thousands of years but the study of apitherapy (bee therapy), specifically bee venom is a relatively recent trend. The most abundant active component of the venom is melittin which has many useful properties including powerful anti-inflammatory actions. The bee venom is harvested these days with no harm being done to the bees in the process. It is then purified and refined to a concentrated source which can be used as a powerful natural ingredient in many beauty therapy products. It is probably not so well known that purified bee venom has a cumulative effect with results building up over a period of continual use. It really is a ‘wonder’ product, used as an anti-ageing therapy; it also improves cell regeneration, activates renewal of damaged skin cells, reduces scarring, helps with the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles and helps collagen formation.

This can all be achieved with a range of products, including a skin repair cream to protect and moisturise the skin or with the application of a bee venom mask to help nurture cell regeneration. A mask provides a deep penetrating skin renewal treatment which assists with the renewal of damaged skin cells. A regenerative mask has a dual action to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting anti-ageing by promoting cell regeneration with its antioxidant qualities.

Bee venom has been called the natural alternative to Botox and is increasingly being sought and used by celebrities around the world, as it is the really natural way to replenish and hydrate your skin. The latest beauty ‘buzz’ has taken the world by storm with its instant anti-ageing results. When applied to the skin bee venom encourages the body to react as if it has been lightly stung, increasing the blood flow and cell renewal to the area of application. At the same time it plumps out wrinkles and rejuvenates the skin surface.

Increasingly we are being encouraged to use naturally healthy products in every area of our lives so it makes sense to use a product inspired by nature and originating from the hive, especially on our skin. New Zealand is at the forefront of harvesting and using bee venom in conjunction with our famous manuka honey as we have a clean, green reputation with very little pollution so it stands to reason that these products are widely sought the world over.
