Would you voluntarily let a bee sting on you on purpose? Of course not, but, apparently, bee venom has been proven to have a positive impact on your skin than most other natural remedies. Other than scooping volumes of bee venom on your skin, a new line of skincare products have offered to introduce these benefits to you, without necessarily being stung by a bee.
Bee venom is naturally produced from a bee sting. When you’re stung by a bee, your skin usually swells and itches for some time, especially if you have an allergy. Most companies working in the cosmetic industry have therefore emulated this technique and offered customers skincare products which have managed to turn bee sting into skincare magic.
Is this process safe for the bees?
Usually, when a bee stings a person, it definitely dies because it doesn’t have the stinger. Collecting bee venom on the other hand is a totally different process which doesn’t hurt or kill bees. What really happens is that a thin sheet of glass is placed inside the beehive and connected with a very week electrical current. When bees hold onto the glass, the low current flowing through, encourages them to sting something which enables them to remove small amounts of venom. The venom released is accompanied with pheromones which further encourage other bees to sting on the glass. More venom is released by the bees forcing it to stick on the sides of the glass awaiting collection. Since the bees sting on the glass, they never lose their laces, something which explains why they’re not expected to die whatsoever.
How does it work?
As your skin ages, it loses naturally produced collagen and elastin cells, resulting in saggy skin and wrinkles. To ensure that this issue is resolved, bee venom, commonly known as nature’s Botox, reverses the effects of ageing through boosting the stimulation of collagen and elastin cells.
Applying small amounts of bee venom excites the skin, fooling it to think that you’ve been stung. As a result, the body sends more blood in the affected areas, resulting in the stimulation of collagen and elastin cells which strengthen your skin tissues, keeping it strong, firm, and youthful. People who use bee venom therapy products, such as venom masks, creams, ointment and serum have experienced a number of skin improvements, such as reduction of pores, wrinkles, soft skin, and firmness.
The reason why these ointments don’t react negatively on your skin as compared to a real bee sting is the level of dosage. Therapeutic bee venom products, such as eye creams, moisturizers, venom masks and ointments contain low dose variants of bee venom which means that you can enjoy the skincare benefits of these cosmetic products without necessarily being stung.
Bee venom and New Zealand honey
By itself, bee venom may not be able to work well, since too much dosage may lead to irritation and an ugly reaction, similar to a bee sting. To avoid this irritation and neutralize the harsh reaction of bee venom, New Zealand Manuka honey is added to the concoction. New Zealand honey is highly recognized for its healing and health properties. Its anti-inflammatory properties help to fight bacteria and reduce skin redness which is caused by bee venom. This mixture of bee venom and New Zealand honey is found in most cosmetics and is available as eye creams, moisturizers, venom masks and a wide range of ointments and creams.
To ensure that you make a perfect choice, this article will review three of the best bee venom creams and masks available on the market.
Bee Venom Cream by Beenigma
Bee Venom Cream is one of the best anti-ageing and skin products made by Beenigma. The cream contains equal amounts of bee venom and New Zealand honey, which rejuvenates the skin to give you a youthful, radiant, smooth and glowing skin, free from spots, sun burns, creases and wrinkles. When the cream is applied on the skin, you’re not required to wash it away like it’s recommended in most homemade remedies. The bee venom in the cream actually reacts with the skin to trigger an increase in collagen and elastin, which is required in tightening your skin removing dead cells. Bee venom, usually within the epidermis and dermal levels of your skin is said to contain 21 natural components (enzymes, amino acids, proteins and peptides), which boost the performance of the collagen and elastin cells to give a smooth, moisturized and healthy skin.

Nature’s Beauty Organic Bee Venom Mask
Nature’s Beauty Organic Bee Venom Mask is among the most recognized and preferred bee venom skin care products on the market. Most celebrities, as well as the English royal family prefer using this skin care product due to its ability to remove spots, rushes, sun burns and pimples with ease. What happens is that the bee venom tries to fool the skin to think that it has been lightly stung, forcing blood to accumulate into the affected areas. This results in the multiplication of collagen and elastin cells, which work hand in hand to fight any bacteria present on your skin, leaving it soft, healthy, and moisturized. This bee venom skin care mask is also rich in Easyliance (a natural acacia Senegal gum and hydrolyzed rhizobian gum), which is a skin tightener which stretches your skin, removing wrinkles and creases.
Conclusion
Generally speaking, bee venom is safe to use, and it works well on any type of skin, unless you have allergies. It’s advised to first apply a small portion of the cream on particular areas of your skin to test its reaction. If you notice that the reaction is tough on your skin, it’s advisable that you first consult a professional before starting bee venom therapy.
