An Honest Conversation About Aging
Aging, as we all know it, is an inevitable part of life. And as time goes by, our skin shows evidence of it. A lot of changes can occur as we age and our skin is among the first ones to show it. In fact, skin aging starts in or mid-20s. According to experts, our bodies slowly start to produce less collagen causing our skin to lose its elasticity causing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. The skin also takes longer to heal.
And while it sounds daunting, know that skin aging is a natural process and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. However, it’s not an excuse for us to disregard our skin needs. One of the best approaches to it is through a combination of a healthy lifestyle and a good skincare routine powered by the best formulas to give you a healthy, glowing complexion.
Inside The Beehive
Bee products come in different formats. Some household names include honey, propolis, bee bread, royal jelly, beeswax and even bee venom. And while this information is new to many of us, this natural ingredient has been around since ancient times as a medical treatment. Aside from that, bee products are also known for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties that help restore the skin’s youthful glow. Today, with the help of science, it became ubiquitous in the skincare and beauty sphere.

In 2021, it launched Beelab, a research platform dedicated to bee, bee products and skin repair, led by internationally renowned researchers.
