There is no evidence that royal jelly makes you younger, and neither does it turn you into a bee as one movie I saw suggested. It does, however, contain antioxidants and these can kill off the free radicals that play havoc with your skin, turning it from a lovely soft and pliable covering for your body into a leathery straightjacket covered in cracks and creases. It works too preserve your looks when rubbed into your skin.

It can also be used internally to help reduce your cholesterol levels, and thereby make you feel younger than your neighbor who eats burgers and mayo, with salt-covered fries, and has cholesterol levels to hit the roof.  It also helps to heal wounds properly, and if smeared on wounds that have first been sterilized, can cut scarring to a minimum. So no, royal jelly will not make you look younger, but it will stop you looking older quicker!

So if you want to soften your skin, look for this wonderful jelly at your local or internet health food store.  Remember to always buy name brands like Premier One to ensure the royal jelly’s purity and quality.
