This summer L won a 28ml jar of Bee Yummy Skin Food! It was an exciting moment for us all, we aren't competition winners and ended up sitting with her (and guiding her along) as she wrote the long thankyou e-mail that, in hindsight, would have been better suited to some kind of awards ceremony. We were all thrilled, we'd heard rave reviews about this hand-blended, cold-processed raw cream and were looking forward to getting in on all the lovely enzyme action!!
Bee Yummy is made from raw honey, honey cappings, bee pollen, propolis, st john's wort oil, royal jelly, purified water and balsam fir needles. The Honey, propolis and balsam fir are strong natural preservatives and have antibiotic properties. Honey also has moisturising and cleansing properties as a result of its high enzyme content, bee pollen is packed full of nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants, and shares antibacterial properties with propolis and royal jelly. And finally, the cream is anti-inflammatory and astringent thanks to the St. John's wort oil and propolis.
Because of all of these properties, Bee Yummy Skin Food has reportedly* been used to help speed up healing wounds and problem skin.
Bee Yummy Skin Food has risen in price as a result of ever-decreasing natural resources, given that it uses bee products I think we can all see where they're coming from with that one...
to the review cave!!!!
Ok, not the cave, but sometimes I wish I was a batman styley blogger....
anyway, lol, in all seriousness this cream is yummy. It's smooth, is non-greasy and is in no way sticky. But when I checked on google a lot of people mentioned suffering from breakouts if they used it repeatedly. I have to say that I noticed a mild breakout after we started using it, so I cut down applications to every few days which resolved any blemishes.
L's skin responded really well to the cream, she gets stress-induced dry skin patches (not quite excema level, but they really bug her.) and Bee Yummy cleared it up really well. But she also uses the cream sparingly, some sites have suggested applying it 2-3 times a day but I can't say it's something that we would recommend!
Em suffered from a few breakouts as well, so she cut down applications to every few days and, as with me, all breakout madness was resolved.
All in all, it is a good product but it is pricey and if you follow the instructions you may well end up with a breakout and nobody wants a breakout! Apart from, maybe, prison folk....but Bee Yummy doesn't roll that way.
*I can't find any sources other than shop summaries for this! So if anyone has seen where this info comes from please let us know :)
Ingredients: Wildflower Honey, Bee Pollen, Propolis, St. John’s Wort Oil, Royal Jelly, Purified Water, and Balsam Fir Needles.
Thanks so much for stopping by!! See you tomorrow :)
