I discovered the quite amazing Bee Venom product from Elaa Skincare at the end of last year, and have not stopped using it since, simply because the difference to my skin tone and texture has been so visible.
There are so many glorious, beauty-boosting wonder products from this brand, but I have totally fallen for the Bee Blessed – Bee Venom Elixir for its skin renewal and rejuvenation powers. My skin is tighter, brighter and far more radiant.
The Bee Venom Serum is alive with the life force and magic of one of nature’s most powerful age-defying ingredients – bee venom.
The wonderful serum contains a high, yet safe concentration of the highest quality, pure bee venom. The apitoxin (honey bee venom) used in the sophisticated formula is the venom as it comes directly from the bee, in liquid form, undried, unadulterated.
This venom for cosmetic use comes from the same company that is the world leader in the supply of medical bee venom used in bee sting therapy and for treatment of medical conditions. The bee venom is pure, potent and very effective, and backed up by extensive medical and cosmetic research.
When applying bee venom to the skin, the body reacts by sending increased amounts of blood to the affected area, which in turn increases the production of collagen. Benefits include strengthened tissue and elastin which help the skin stay firm and youthful, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, smaller pores and reduced pigmentation.
The bee venom works synergistically with six varieties of peptides: phytoelastin, lipsomal retinol, hyaluronic acid, organic white tea, alpha lipoic acid, and organic essential oils.
Phytoelastin is a natural protein derived from plants and has powerful anti-ageing and hydration benefits. Elastin is a protein in the skin that helps tissues regain their original shape after being poked or pinched and improves overall appearance of skin.
Liposomal retinol is an extremely effective skin-transforming, antioxidant backed up by more than 40 years of research. Retinol can visibly help to increase the appearance and firmness of the skin, refine the skin’s surface, and vastly improve uneven skin tone. In liposomal form, that is, microscopic bubbles that deliver the ingredient directly into the cells within the body, retinol is better absorbed and utilised by the skin cells.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural compound in the skin that binds collagen and elastin and helps with tissue repair, moisture retention and plumpness.
Organic white tea is known for its high concentration of antioxidants and is recognised for its ability to tone the skin and reduce sun damage through the neutralisation of free radicals. It also helps to sooth the redness, irritation and sensitivity caused by skin conditions such as psoriasis and rosacea.
Known as the universal antioxidant, alpha lipoic acid has the amazing power to reduce cellular inflammation, regenerate and activate vitamins C and E present in the tissues, and deeply protects the skin.
The bee venom comes from a pristine area of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The collection of the venom is 100% harmless and risk-free for the bees. A pane of glass is placed at the side of a beehive and a very weak electrical current is run through the glass to encourage the bees to stick out their stingers and release a small amount of venom. The venom is collected while the bees keep their stingers and are free to fly away, unharmed. One million stings are required for one millilitre of venom, which explains the preciousness of the elixir.
This product should not be used by anyone who is allergic to bee venom.
For best results, use with Bee Beauty Facial Oil.
