London Fashion Week might be over but one thing that we noticed is the natural makeup trend continuing to stay in the last quarter of the year.
The skin-repairing and renewing benefits of bee venom is said to be part of Kate Middleton’s go-to skincare routine and Rodial’s Bee Venom Day Cream SPF30 ticks all the boxes in achieving brighter and firmer complexion.
It’s a brand said to be loved by the Princess and they are offering 61% off discount so shoppers can get the 50ml tube at £50 instead of £130. So what does the Bee Venom face cream do?
The lightweight moisturiser re-densifies skins’ appearance with bee venom, melittin peptide, soy isoflavones and stemcells – which they work to brighten skin tone, firm and plump wrinkles appearance as well as improve skin elasticity.
While the soy isoflavone stimulates collagen and elastin production, the cream can be massaged onto face and neck and let it absorb thoroughly as the bee venom works to iron out fine lines and wrinkles.
Shoppers won’t need to put multiple products on and it keeps skin barrier healthy and locks in treatment step benefits. It also includes SPF to shield skin from UVA and UVB.
Rodial shoppers were impressed with the results, giving five star reviews to the Bee Venom Day Cream SPF. A woman in her early 40s said: “I’ve been searching for a moisturiser with an SPF for so long that doesn’t feel greasy. This is amazing, a little goes a long way and it soaks in beautifully and doesn’t leave that greasy feeling. With added bonus that I can already see a difference in my fine lines and overall skin conditions.”
Another dedicated fan has been using the product for 10 years and she explained: “I wouldn’t use anything else! When I was 29, I noticed some fine lines so I took action and ordered this product. I’m now 39 and those little fine lines have disappeared.”
The product has done wonders on many shoppers but some suggested an upgrade to the packaging. They struggled to get the last of the cream out of the pump mechanism, as one said: “It might be wasteful and for the price, I’d expect a higher quantity.”
A second noted: “I have had so many compliments on my skin since using this, not seen a drastic change in fine lines but texture has improved and I have glowing skin.”
Premium French beauty Guerlain’s Abeille Royale range is their anti-ageing bestseller but it can be very expensive. But fans can try the discovery set on LookFastastic, after they reduced the price from £80 to £56.
It includes four mini products – a fortifyin lotion with royal jelly, an advanced youth watery oil, a renew & repair advanced serum, a day cream and a pouch.
For an affordable option, Neal’s Yard Remedies’ Bee Lovely All Over Balm delivers instant nourishment to dry skin and rough patches and it’s currently on promotion for £21.75.
