Even the celebs appear to be getting bored of Botox these days. But since they still want to avoid those giveaway fine lines, stars such as Dannii Minogue, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michelle Pfeiffer and even the Duchess of Cornwall are taking their chances with a new wrinkle-buster – bee venom.
Apparently, this latest anti-ageing cream uses the venom to stimulate the body into producing chemicals that relax and strengthen the facial muscles, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
High-profile types are rushing to beautician Deborah Mitchell for all kinds of posh treatments these days and her £55 Bee Venom Mask is among the most popular… and it only involves a gentle “stinging”, leaving your skin tingly.
Mrs Mitchell claims that using the bee venom treatment (which also contains manuka honey, shea butter, rose and lavender oils) twice a day for 20 minutes can knock anything up to 10 years off the middle-aged face.
