Heaven by Deborah Mitchell Nettle Venom Collection

 Discover two of the most impressive vegan anti-ageing products on the skincare market.

Say hello to Heaven by Deborah Mitchell’s Nettle Venom Cream (£64) and Nettle Venom Eyes (£55).

Formulated with something called NETTATOXIN®, the creams feature the carefully extracted sting of the common British nettle.

This newly patented ingredient causes a similar reaction to that of bees when they sting.

 

 

When stung (by a bee or a nettle) your skin responds by going into a rapid repair strategy on first contact.

The sting makes your skin tingle before your serotonin kicks in and gets to work to heal the blemishes and redness.

The result of such an experience in skincare terms is a more lifted, radiant looking complexion and this is why the powerful qualities of the nettle have been harnessed to create this 100% vegan collection of products.

 

 

When used over time, your skin continues this built in self-healing action which helps to smooth lines, reduce the appearance of winkles and soothes your skin.

While the products are integral to getting this set of reactions in order, actually it is your own body’s natural response that results in your skins ability to rebuild, tighten, firm and renew.

Impressive eh?

 

 

The Nettle Venom Cream is a beautifully rich yet light moisturiser with a subtle, soft fresh scent.

Quickly absorbed into your skin, it leaves no greasy residue and leaves your skin feeling instantly hydrated and soft.

I’ve been using it twice daily for a number of weeks now and I love the results.

 

While I can’t claim that it has removed the appearance of all my lines and wrinkles, by complexion is certainly far more radiant and in terms of texture, actually does feel firmer and more plump.

I paired my cream with the Nettle Venom Eyes.

While it contains many of the same elements, this cream is somewhat richer than the moisturiser, due to the difference in the skin around your eye area.

 

 

It is thinner and more delicate so often requires a little more TLC when it comes to skincare.

As with the cream, this eye cream contains NETTATOXIN® which works in the same way as Heaven’s famous bee venom but uses only 100% plant-based ingredients to ensure it is Vegan friendly.

Thick and decadently soft, the cream instantly perks up dull, tired eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.

 

Particularly great in the mornings for helping you to look and feel more awake, I do find myself applying a pretty generous amount at night to ensure that I wake with skin that feels rejuvenated, comforted, soft and fresh.

Pale green in colour, it quickly gets to work to soften and soothe tired eyes.

 

 

I’ve always been a big fan of Heaven’s Bee Venom collection so I was really excited to ty this vegan alternative and boy it did not disappoint!

Skin Doctors Beelift

If you’re looking to supercharge your anti-ageing skincare regime then you need to try Skin Doctors beelift.

This award winning, paraben free treatment cream plumps, lifts and firms your skin by tricking your skin into thinking it has been lightly stung.

It works by instantly activating your skin cells to reduce the appearance of the signs of ageing including wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. 

This clinically proven treatment triples the formulation of collagen within your skin in just 7 days. It tricks your skin into thinking it has been stung with the compound melittin which stimulates the production of both collagen and elastin.

The Melittin then helps your skin to remain toned and taught, giving it the elasticity it needs to reduce long term ageing of the skin.

Sounds impressive (if a little scary) right?

OK so first things first. If you are allergic to bee stings, this product is not going to be suitable for you to use. It is however suitable for all skin types, though with most products a patch test is recommended prior to application.

Unsurprisingly one of the key ingredients within the cream is Bee Venom which is collected from honeybees.

The venom (Apis melifera consisting chiefly of melitti) has astringent and skin protecting qualities and no, absolutely no bees are harmed during this extraction process, nor do Skin Doctors test on animals.

Another hero ingredient is Manuka Honey which possesses anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties that aids with the healing of your skin along with Royal Jelly extract which acts as a luxurious skin conditioner.

It also contains something called Trylagen which is a triple action peptide clinically proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles and improve the quality and quantity of collagen within your skin.

Designed to be used as a pre-moisturising treatment, this lightweight, nourishing cream has a beautiful aroma.

Think soft, sweet honey and creamy vanilla. Just delightful.

Apply the cream sparingly with dry fingertips to your face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area. 

Quickly absorbed, the cream leaves your skin feeling instantly plumped, soft and toned.

Non-oily, once absorbed it disappears completely, allowing you to apply your moisturiser as usual.

It doesn’t cause any tingling sensations, discomfort or irritation, it simply leaves your skin feeling wonderfully soft and firm, even from the first application.

I’ve been using my beelift twice daily for two weeks now and I’m really happy with the results.

I can’t get enough of its beautiful aroma and my skin feels firmer, softer and dare I say, more radiant.

I even think I’ve noticed a small difference to the appearance of the fine lines on my forehead, which really surprised me!

Skin Doctors beelift is available now and costs £38.99.
