Venom vanity

Gwyneth's snake venom cream is a charmer

As we long suspected, the secret to Gwyneth Paltrow's glowing porcelain skin isn't yoga or a strict macrobiotic diet, but snake venom. Obviously.

Planet Skincare daily moisturiser, an anti-wrinkle cream that's selling 50 pots a day in London, is infused with a synthetic version of snake venom from Malaysia's Temple Viper.

The imitation venom blocks nerve cells that cause muscles to contract, helping to stop wrinkles forming. Gwynnie is a big fan of the cream - and we can see why!
