Bee venom has really taken the skincare world by storm recently. While it may seem like an unusual ingredient to apply to your skin, there’s a lot more to this powerful compound than many realize. It offers some very unique and distinct benefits, which is why more and more people have been flocking to bee venom-infused skincare products lately.
How exactly does bee venom skincare work? With bee venom being our signature ingredient here at Venofye, this is a topic that we’re very familiar with. Read on as we explain exactly what bee venom can do for your skin, along with the best ways to incorporate this ingredient into your skincare routine.
What is Bee Venom?
Bee venom is an acidic liquid that bees excrete through their stingers as a way to ward off threats. It’s not a new ingredient by any means – it has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. From the Ancient Greeks to the Ancient Romans, many cultures throughout history have recognized the importance of this substance.
The main difference today is how bee venom is extracted. Modern methods are much kinder. They don’t involve the bee losing its stinger, which results in the bee’s death. Instead, the bees are able to live a happy and healthy life, depositing their venom onto a glass sheet to later be purified.
What Does Bee Venom Do For the Skin?
So, what’s all the buzz about when it comes to bee venom skincare? Why is this ingredient being hailed as the next best thing to hit the beauty world? Let’s take a closer look at some of its many benefits:
Minimizes the Visibility of Wrinkles
There are several ingredients out there that are known for being able to reduce the visibility of wrinkles, and bee venom is one. However, while many of those purported superstars don’t have much science to back them up, bee venom has been proven to be effective at giving the skin a wrinkle-free look. Studies show that not only does bee venom decrease the appearance of wrinkle area, but it does the same with wrinkle depth and count. This is partly due to its potent antioxidant properties.
Plumps Up the Complexion
One of the reasons why bee venom is such a prized beauty ingredient is because it has a stimulating effect on the complexion. It leaves your circulation feeling boosted, which, in turn, gives the skin an instant glow.
Reduces the Appearance of Acne
While honey is often recommended as a way to combat the appearance of acne, bee venom can be just as, if not more, beneficial. Studies have found that applying a serum containing bee venom to skin that’s suffering from mild to moderate acne can result in a significant improvement in the complexion. This is likely down to the ingredient’s various enzymes, each one tackling the appearance of acne in its own way. Some of these work to soothe the feeling of inflammation, which helps with a lot more than just acne…
Soothes the Feeling of Inflammation
Inflammation spells bad news for the skin. Not only does it accelerate the skin aging process, but it also triggers flare-ups for anyone suffering from an inflammatory skin condition. Be it psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, or anything else, your skin needs to feel calm at all times, and bee venom can help with that. Again, several studies back this up. They confirm that bee venom contains a variety of compounds that fight the feeling of inflammation in the skin.
Are There Any Downsides?
So, what are the downsides to bee venom skincare? Unless you’re allergic to bee stings, in which case you’ll want to avoid applying bee venom to your skin, bee venom can be used without any major concerns. However, just like when it comes to trying any new skincare ingredient, you can never be quite sure how your skin will react. Always perform a patch test before using any new product for the first time.
Adding Bee Venom to Your Skincare Routine
So, how should you go about adding bee venom to your skincare routine? While using just one bee venom-infused skincare product is better than using none, the best results are seen when the ingredient is incorporated into multiple stages of your skincare routine. With every single product from Venofye containing bee venom, this is easy to do! Here are a few that will easily slot into your existing routine:
The Blossom Bee Clarifying Cream Cleanser
It’s always best for your skin to feel calm and soothed when starting your skincare routine. This makes it well worth having a bee venom cleanser! The Venofye Blossom Bee Clarifying Cream Cleanser is a moisturizing formula that highlights the restoring sensation imparted by bee venom.
This cleanser combines bee venom with several other ingredients that also leave the skin feeling ultra-relaxed. With a clever concoction of plant extracts, such as lavender and aloe vera, and plant oils, including moringa and argan, it’s packed with skin-loving antioxidants. At the same time, its coconut-derived surfactants will cleanse your skin without causing any damage to your skin’s natural barrier.
The Blossom Bee Vitamin C Serum
It’s no secret that antioxidants provide the best results when they’re combined with other antioxidants. So, what better ingredient to join vitamin C than bee venom? Both ingredients boast powerful antioxidant properties that will work to repair the appearance of oxidative damage in your skin.
The Blossom Bee Vitamin C Serum from Venofye takes things a step further. In addition to vitamin C and bee venom, it also brings in vitamins A and E. Both are, again, incredible antioxidants. The best part is that you won’t have to worry about your skin feeling irritated by all of that pure power. Thanks to the inclusion of jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, and olive oil, your complexion will feel balanced and deeply hydrated.
The Orchard Bee Brilliance Cream SPF 30
One product that you should be using every single day without fail is sunscreen. The sun’s UV rays cause such deep damage to the skin, and this isn’t always repairable. Combining a sunscreen with antioxidants, like those provided by bee venom, will leave your skin feeling even better protected against the sun’s harmful rays.
That’s exactly what the Venofye Orchard Bee Brilliance Cream SPF 30 has been crafted to do. This lightweight moisturizer not only protects the skin from the sun, but also boosts the complexion in several other ways. Its vitamins and antioxidants will rejuvenate your complexion to leave your skin looking more radiant.
The Royal Jelly Bee Luminescent Eye Serum
With the skin around the eyes being particularly thin, you need to be careful about the ingredients that you apply to your eye area. Certain actives that can be used on the face are simply too harsh for the delicate skin around the eyes.
With the Royal Jelly Bee Luminescent Eye Serum, however, you can pamper your eye area with bee venom without having to worry about irritating your skin. You’ll also be lavishing your skin with a number of other ingredients that are highly recommended for use around the eyes. Peptides leave the skin feeling stronger, sodium hyaluronate hydrates, vitamin C brightens the complexion, and licorice root extract will lighten the look of dark circles and pigmentation.
The Queen Bee Neck Lift
Just like the eye area, the skin on the neck also often requires some TLC. The skin here is very thin, which is why it’s so prone to looking saggy and crepey as the years go by.
The Venofye Queen Bee Neck Lift will help to keep your neck and chest looking firm and smooth. As we mentioned earlier, bee venom stimulates the complexion, and this cream combines bee venom with other ingredients that do the same, such as caffeine. Meanwhile, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and collagen bind moisture to the skin to leave it looking plumper and more volumized.
The Blossom Bee Advanced Wrinkle Corrector
The way in which bee venom leaves the skin looking plumper and fuller can work wonders on the appearance of wrinkles. The Venofye Blossom Bee Advanced Wrinkle Corrector takes full advantage of that. It harnesses bee venom in a way that enables it to provide instant visible results.
Apply this solution to your skin and, in just a couple of minutes, your wrinkles will be significantly less visible. Bee venom plays a big part in this, as do a few other high-performance ingredients.
The Beehive HydraLift Mask
Face masks are a great way to give your complexion a boost. Even though they’re only used weekly, they can really enhance the effects that you see from your daily skincare routine.
The Beehive HydraLift Mask from Venofye does this particularly well. It’s a leave-on mask, meaning that your skin benefits from extended contact with bee venom, along with all of the other antioxidant-rich ingredients within. Have a read through this product’s ingredient list and you’ll likely immediately be impressed by all of the superfoods that feature in this formula. When it comes to giving your skin some extra topical nutrients, it doesn’t get much better than this.
The Venofye Body Butter
When it comes to cutting-edge skincare ingredients, why should your face have all of the fun? The skin on your body deserves plenty of love, care, and bee venom too!
While each product in the Venofye Body Care range contains bee venom, the Body Butter is a fan favorite. It’s an exquisitely sumptuous moisturizer that has a rich and luxurious quality. It’s a great way to treat the skin on your body to the power of bee venom while also giving it an intense moisture boost.
