Royal Jelly: More Benefits From Bees

6. Healthy Skin

Royal jelly has properties that could help regulate skin photoaging after exposure to ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation from the sun. Exposure can cause sunburn and melanoma and could negatively affect vision and the immune system, as well. The collagen content and thickness of the outer layer of skin is greater in people who use skin products containing royal jelly. Extra collagen protects skin from the sun and the effects of aging. People taking royal jelly extract frequently have higher levels of procollagen type I and matrix metalloproteinase, proteins involved in skin cell repair.
