Going ''under the knife'' and fillers are no longer in fashion. The power of Mother Nature with all its benefits is the new Botox as people are now looking to revive themselves and connect with the earth.
Croatian women have recently gone crazy after a natural Botox from Zagorje in the Krapina-Zagorje County which costs only 70 Kunas. Maybe this sounds like a big joke but in the picturesque village of Konjscina not far from Marija Bistrica lives the Curis family who produce creams made of honey bee venom, according to a recent report on Croatian television.
Made by a secret recipe from New Zealand this cream ''will iron your skin beyond recognition,'' claim the members of this family business.
''Many young girls and women would like to look more beautiful than they already are but the bee venom (toxin melittin) does not work the same day as a filler because the literature teaches us that the venom boosts the production of collagen in the skin thus smoothes and tightens the skin'', explained the beekeeper Ivan Curis.
Members of the British Royal Family are also known as fans of this magical cream. The UK newspaper The Daily Mail reported that “The Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Cornwall are already fans of bee venom.” However the wonder bee venom costs considerably more in the UK, £150 for a 50-millilitre pot.
