Friday Giveaway: MicroVenom Skincare Kit from Spa Pangea

A package was dropped off to ShopTalk headquarters this week, and good news: it’s for you. Daireds Salon & Spa Pangéa has put together a giveaway package of potent skincare goods from Sonya Dakar in celebration of the beauty brand’s new line of MicroVenom anti-aging products, which, “seamlessly combine regenerative apple stem cell technology and wrinkle-smoothing synthetic snake venom.” This goodie bag includes the Hydrating Night Complex, $88; Hydrating Day Complex, $86; and Eyelift Complex, $82.

Fun fact: The faux snake venom, called Syn-ake, is an anti-wrinkle compound that mimics the effect of the venom of a Temple Viper. Via lotioncrafter.com, “The Syn®-Ake peptide acts by reducing muscle cell contraction, smoothing mimic wrinkles in a short period, and is reversible. It is useful in anti-aging products and wrinkle treatment products, especially those targeting expression lines.”
