At
the beginning of the year I did a post featuring some of the products I
wanted to try in 2014, many of which pricked an interest due to some odd
ingredient.
I
was lucky enough to be sent some of the Heaven Skincare Bee Venom Face Mask**, a
product favourite of some of our Royal Family Members, which is how I became
fascinated by it – I am a huge Royalist and if it is good enough for the
Duchess of Cambridge, it is good enough for me right?
Well
once I had it in my grasp, the whole idea then became much scarier, I mean
actual bee venom on my face, why on earth would I want to do that? Well this is why:
“Heaven's Bee Venom range is the only Bee Venom range that contains the special ingredient abeetoxin™.. It
softens lines and wrinkles whilst plumping and firming. It is a luxurious cream
that you will see and feel working instantly, leaving your skin looking its
youthful and radiant best.
If that isn’t enough to capture your interest it also
contains Manuka Honey which is renowned for its soothing and healing properties
as well as softening and calming Shea Butter which also has moisturising
properties and finally Rose and Lavender essential oils which are also both
hydrating and moisturising when on the skin.
As mentioned it does contain Bee Venom which claims
to control the facial muscles for immediate
lifting, tightening and firming, whilst getting to work on frown lines and
wrinkles which is something I am always looking for, paranoid that I am
getting old before my time.
The actual cream itself is not overly
thick but you only need a small amount to cover your face. So having cleaned and cleansed my face I took
a few deep breaths and applied the mask as instructed to do so. There is a
slight scent to it, definitely honey was the ingredient that I detected over
and above anything else, but it glides onto your skin effortlessly and
gradually sinks in. Once your whole face
is covered, you leave it on for 20 minutes before washing it off. Once it was applied, I was sat on my bed
relaxing and after about 6 minutes I felt my face start to tingle; it wasn’t
unpleasant in any way, infact it was a relief to know that something was
happening, I wanted those 20 minutes to hurry up so I can have a look at my
face to see what the affect was going to be.
As soon as my time was up, I grabbed my Washi cloth and duly removed the
cream or what was left of it, from my face and this is where I was so
impressed.
Before using the cream, I had slight
dryness on both cheeks and on my forehead between my eyebrows, it is a constant
problem when the weather changes from cold to warm, no matter how much cream I
apply, it always comes back. So, having
used this mask, not only did my skin feel smoother than it ever had before,
softer than I have ever known it to be, but it was free from dry skin, I had a
natural glow and even though I have hardly wrinkles, there was no sign of those
that had been there, my skin felt tight and the puffiness under my eyes from lack of sleep had also
gone. I was quite literally astounded by how good this was after one use.
Now two days on, my skin is still soft and smooth and there is no sign of the dryness on either cheek or on my forehead, no wonder it is such a big hit with members of the Royal Family and now me!

As well as using this product as a
mask, you can also use it both in the morning and in the evening by applying
a small amount on top of your moisturiser.
I am yet to do this, but I intend too because I really want to see what
the difference in my skin will be like.
This product for me is wonderful, now I
have it in my grasp I am not willing to let it go, I have never tried a product
like it nor been so impressed by its results, they more than live up to the
claims and it is no wonder that Deborah
Mitchell, CEO and founder of Heaven Skincare has won awards for the abeetoxin™ ingredient.
