Why You Need Bee Venom In Your Beauty Routine

You may have tried every new beauty/skincare trend out there in the name of taking care of your complexion in hopes of amazing results, but there's a product you may not have ever thought your skincare routine was missing. If you've heard the buzz about it (pun totally intended) and are wondering if bee venom is good for your skin, it absolutely is, and as painful as it sounds, it's a product you are probably going to want to start using.

As someone who is deathly afraid of bees, the last thing I'd ever want to do is put their venom on my face. I mean, ouch! But it's not painful, and it's actually great for your skin. Bee venom is anaphylactic, so it can temporarily relax your facial muscles (natural botox, anyone?), break down cell membranes, and improve circulation, which can create a tighter and smoother complexion. It can also plump out and firm your skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. So the name might sound painful, but it doesn't actually sting — and you know a botox needle would!

If you want to give yourself a natural plump and firm your complexion, try these products with bee venom in them.
