Nettle Venom Cream

The venom of the nettle causes a similar reaction to that of bees when they sting – the skin goes into rapid repair on first contact. The nettle sting makes the skin tingle before your own serotonin gets to work to heal blemishes and redness leaving you with a lifted, more radiant complexion. With regular use, the skin continues this healing action, smoothing lines and soothing as it does so. The power comes from the skin’s own rebuilding system to tighten, firm and renew.

SO HOW DOES IT WORK? “It works because the venom of the nettle causes a reaction similar to that of bees when they sting – the skin goes into rapid repair on first contact. This helps to heal blemishes and redness leaving you with a lifted, more radiant complexion.” The nettle sting contains formic acid as well as histamine and it is this combination that causes the initial reaction when you are stung. Skin goes into rapid repair on first contact; your own receptors contain proteins – called interferons – that start to reinforce from the inside out while serotonin gets to work to combat swelling and heal, boosting collagen and elastin.
