GWYNETH PALTROW’S fame as an actress has since been eclipsed by the wacky wellness products touted by her Goop brand.

Known for promoting a goat ­ milk cleanse and vaginal steam, the 50year ­ old also recommends being stung by bees.

Paltrow believes that the bee stings, which have been described as an organic alternative to Botox, eradicate inflammation and scarring, leaving radiantly­transformed skin.

“I’ve been stung by bees,” she told an interviewer. “It’s a treatments that’s thousands of years old, called apitherapy.”
