If you are thinking of ordering the Skin Management Program you might…
Bees are incredible creatures. They are responsible for pollenating seventy percent of the fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that we consume on a daily basis. They work hard and we appreciate the honey that they forage from flowers, but there is another product that bees produce that we love so much… beeswax!
