Wild Ferns’ bee venom-infused skincare will have you looking more youthful in no time.
The stress of a busy life, ultraviolet rays and pollution all rob our skin of its resilience and radiance, causing it to take longer to renew itself as we age – even with the help of an arsenal of beauty essentials. So, when we hear that celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Dannii Minogue use skincare laced with bee venom to look youthful, and that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, supposedly used it before her wedding, we sit up and listen.
THE BEAUTY OF BEE VENOM
Bee venom is the colourless, odourless liquid the bee injects into your skin when it stings you. It actually contains skin-beneficial enzymes, peptides and amino acids, including melittin, a protein said to possess powerful antiinflammatory as well as antibacterial properties. When applied, it is said to fool the skin into thinking it has been stung. This increases collagen and elastin synthesis, and ups microcirculation, resulting in plumped up, smoother and more radiant skin.
To help restore radiance and firmness, New Zealand skincare brand Wild Ferns offers a range of products using high-quality bee venom collected in an ethical manner that doesn’t harm the bees. Each product’s benefits are also backed by biotechnological research.
SOOTHE & NOURISH
To help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Wild Ferns Bee Venom Serum With Active Manuka Honey ($59.85) enhances microcirculation as well as collagen and elastin production. Rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, manuka honey’s antibacterial and antioxidant properties help soothe the skin, neutralise free radical damage and maintain optimum moisture levels in the deeper layers.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Give your mien an extra boost with a daily dose of Wild Ferns Bee Venom Face Mask With Active Manuka Honey ($52.50). This ultra-moisturising mask is said to improve your skin’s functions, including microcirculation, and increase collagen production for tauter, youthful-looking skin. Leave the rinse-off mask on your skin for 20 minutes to reveal smoother and softer skin.
