According to The Sun, 63-year-old Camilla has been seeing skin expert Deborah Mitchell, who has made a “natural facelift” treatment using bee venom. The sessions are believed to be held at Clarence House in London.
Her non-surgical facelifts, at up to £165 a time, involve “lymph drainage, massage and accupressure”. They are said to reduce eye puffiness and lift facial contours. The Botox alternative, using the bee venom, manuka honey and shea butter, is claimed to iron out wrinkles, the report said.
A spokeswoman for the Duchess of Wales confirmed Deborah’s visits. “She does carry out beauty treatments for the Duchess. I can’t go into where they take place, or what treatments they are.”
Shropshire-based Deborah also claims to be a healer and psychic and gives customers “readings” during treatments. The mum of two, 44, started her beauty business after trying to find a cure for her acne when she was young.
