text: These days, the actress Gwyneth Paltrow, 43, is perhaps better known for her website, Goop.com, where New Age meets wellness meets urban bourgeoisie. Not content with, well, just content, she has been developing makeup products with Juice Beauty and has introduced her Goop skin-care line. Ms. Paltrow, who is also mom to Apple, 11, and Moses, 9, lives in Los Angeles. Here, she shares beauty, hair and life advice. 
   
   Skin Care 
   
   In general, I love serums and face oils and body oils. I’m a real oil kind of girl. There’s a myth that oil is not good for your skin. I don’t believe in that at all. So lately I’ve been using my Instant Facial — it has some gentle fruit acids in it, and you feel it go active because there’s a little tingle — and seeing great results. There are also some beads in it (obviously not the plastic microbeads), and it leaves me glow-y. I think you’re supposed to use it only three times a week, but I’ve been using it more. Then I’ll use the day or night cream, or our oil, and the eye cream. ||||| A woman died in Spain after suffering an allergic reaction while undergoing live bee acupuncture - an alternative therapy promoted by Gwyneth Paltrow in which the patient is stung by the angered insects. 
   
   The 55-year-old woman had been undergoing the controversial treatment once a month for two years when she suddenly developed a severe reaction, according to a report by Spanish doctors. 
   
   She “developed wheezing, dyspnea, and sudden loss of consciousness immediately after a live bee sting,” the report, published in the latest issue of the Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology, said. 
   
   The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, was taken to the Ramón y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid but died some weeks later of multiple organ failure. She had suffered a “massive watershed stroke and permanent coma” due to severe anaphylactic shock, said the report’s authors, Ricardo Madrigal and Paula Vázquez Revuelta of the hospital’s allergy unit. 
   
   The 2015 case is believed to be the first reported death from live bee acupuncture - also known as bee venom apitherapy - of a patient who had previously not been allergic. The report said that repeated exposure to the allergen increased the risk of a severe reaction.
target: – It may not surprise you to learn that Gwyneth Paltrow has sought to treat her ailments—in this case inflammation and scarring—by subjecting herself to the stings of live bees. "It's a thousands-of-year-old treatment," the Goop mastermind told the New York Times in 2016. "It's actually pretty incredible if you research it. But, man, it's painful." Now a report published in the Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology reveals what's believed to be the first death related to bee-sting therapy—aka live bee acupuncture, aka bee venom apitherapy—in someone who had previously shown tolerance for the treatment. In the case from 2015, a 55-year-old Spanish woman died of multiple organ failure after two years of the treatment to relieve muscular contracture and stress. In bee-sting therapy, bees placed on a patient's body have their heads squeezed until they extend their stingers, the Telegraph reports. The idea is that the stings cause inflammation and lead to an anti-inflammatory response from the body. The unnamed woman started wheezing and having shortness of breath during one of her monthly treatments at a private clinic before losing consciousness. She died weeks later at the hospital. Researchers say severe anaphylactic shock caused a "massive watershed stroke and permanent coma," as well as the multiple organ failure. "The risks of undergoing apitherapy may exceed the presumed benefits, leading us to conclude that this practice is both unsafe and unadvisable," one researcher says.
