In recent years, the skincare industry has been abuzz about bee venom. Touted as the natural form of Botox, it’s said to provide the same results without the pain. True that bee stings are a most unpleasant experience, using serums, creams, and other skincare products that are formulated with bee venom give you the positive benefits without exposing yourself to stinging.

The venom of bees is produced by the stinger. While getting stung will make your skin swell up and itch, using the venom in skincare renders a truly incredible experience without any pain involved. Applying products containing bee venom to your skin tricks it into believing it has suffered a sting. Your body naturally sends blood to the affected area which arouses the production of collagen.

Collagen is what helps your skin look firmer and more youthful. As aging takes hold, skin loses the ability to produce collagen naturally, leading to a saggy and wrinkled appearance. By incorporating skincare products that contain bee venom into your daily skincare regimen, you’ll soon notice how it smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, shrinks pores, and makes hyperpigmentation fade away.

But there is a huge difference in using products containing bee venom and using venom straight from any bee you might find. That difference lies in the dosage of the venom. Bee venom skincare products contain a much smaller, yet still potent, dosage of bee venom. In this way, it allows you to harness all the positive powers from bee venom without any of the unpleasantness that is associated with getting stung by bees.

Bees are fast becoming an endangered species and if you’re worried that using bee venom will further deplete the bee population from the planet, you can use bee venom products free of guilt. As you may know, bees die when they sting, but when the venom of bees is collected, it’s done so in a humane way that does not kill the bees. Instead, it encourages them to release a small amount of their venom onto a sheet of glass that is inserted into the hive. So the bees get to keep buzzing while you get to use their venom.
