BEE VENOM FOR THE SKIN - DERMATOLOGY

The skin is vital to our health and our general well-being. Apart from the fact that the skin is the body's first line of defense against bacteria and viruses, healthy skin looks to maintain fluid balance and facilitates body temperature regulation. It is very sensitive and can feel the lightest touch as well as pain. Because the skin is our largest and most visible body, covering almost 2m² and being close to one sixth of our body weight, its condition can also have a significant impact on our self-esteem.
