Is there any harm to the skin when using royal jelly on the face?

Royal jelly is the milk of bees. Regular consumption of royal jelly can improve immunity, delay aging, improve sleep, fight cancer, lower blood lipids, lower blood pressure, etc. Royal jelly also has the effect of delaying aging and beautifying the skin. Cosmetics containing royal jelly can better maintain the moisture of the skin, but it is best not to apply unprocessed royal jelly directly on the face, as the skin cannot absorb it and it may cause clogged pores.

1. Improve immunity:

Royal jelly has three major functions on the immune system: one is to balance the human body, adjust the endocrine system, and thus stabilize the immune system; the second is that it has a natural clearance function, which can remove harmful substances in the human body and protect the immune system; the third is to provide vitamins, minerals and other special nutrients to nourish the immune system. Royal jelly contains γ-globulin, albumin, vitamin C, vitamin E, taurine and trace elements such as selenium, iron, manganese, etc., which have effective ingredients that enhance immune function. It can increase antibody production, significantly enhance cellular immunity and humoral immunity, and have a beneficial effect on the entire immune system, regulate and enhance immune function, thereby improving adaptability and disease resistance to harsh external environment.

2. Delay aging:

The anti-aging mechanism of royal jelly mainly includes the following aspects:

(1) Eliminating free radicals In 1954, British scholar Harman first proposed the free radical theory of aging: aging is mainly caused by excessive free radical reactions in the body. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in royal jelly is an important antioxidant that can promote the decomposition of oxygen free radicals, thereby eliminating their harm to the human body. The antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E and trace elements such as selenium, zinc, manganese, iron, and copper in royal jelly can also eliminate excessive free radicals accumulated in the human body's metabolism process, thereby prolonging people's life.

(2) Enhance immunity and regulate endocrine system. Immunity and aging are closely related. Royal jelly can enhance immunity, regulate human endocrine system, promote cell regeneration and ensure cell health.

(3) Nucleic acid supplementation: As the human body ages, the ability to synthesize nucleic acid is greatly reduced, which slows down the rate of cell division, causes cell defects, slows down protein synthesis, and leads to body damage, disease, aging, and even death. This is the real reason for human aging. The rich nucleic acid contained in royal jelly can enhance the vitality of cells, accelerate protein synthesis, improve human body functions, and thus delay aging.

(4) Nutritional balance Nutritional balance is one of the most important factors in maintaining human health. Once this balance is disturbed, it will affect physical health and even endanger life. Royal jelly, which is rich in nutrients and recognized by the nutrition community as the "source of life and longevity", helps maintain nutritional balance and delay aging.

3. Improve sleep:

Royal jelly contains a variety of brain neurotransmitters, such as γ-aminobutyric acid, taurine, etc., which can nourish brain nerve cells, effectively regulate the balance of the human nervous system, and quickly eliminate sleep disorders.

4. Anti-cancer:

The anti-cancer mechanism of royal jelly is mainly as follows:

(1) Royal jelly contains royal jelly acid, a substance that inhibits or kills the growth of cancer cells. It can effectively prevent and inhibit tumor proliferation.

(2) Royal jelly contains a certain amount of immunoglobulin G and multiple vitamins, which can not only enhance the body's immune ability but also inhibit various cancer cells.

(3) Royal jelly can activate the body’s immune system, prompting it to produce more phagocytes, thereby reducing and stopping the damage caused by cancer cells to the body.

(4) Royal jelly is rich in nutrients and can significantly alleviate the syndrome of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. (Excerpt from "Deep Processing Technology of Bee Products" published by China Light Industry Press)

5. Menopausal syndrome:

Due to endocrine system disorders, royal jelly has two main effects on menopausal syndrome: one is to delay the onset of menopause; the other is to alleviate or even eliminate menopausal syndrome. (Excerpt from "Bee Products and Health Care" published by China Agriculture Press)

6. Regulates Blood Pressure:

Royal jelly major protein-1 (MRJP1) is hydrolyzed by gastrointestinal enzymes to generate antihypertensive peptides that inhibit ACE activity, thereby playing a role in lowering blood pressure. What is even more incredible is that royal jelly has a two-way regulating effect on blood pressure. It can not only lower high blood pressure, but also raise low blood pressure, always adjusting blood pressure to a normal range. (Excerpt from "Research Progress on the Pharmacological Effects and Related Activities of Royal Jelly" in "Medical Guide" Vol. 23, No. 12, 2004)

7. Regulates blood sugar:

Royal jelly contains insulin-like substances that can regulate blood sugar; royal jelly can promote the proliferation of pancreatic beta cells, normalize the function of damaged beta cells, and help the pancreas restore health. (Excerpt from "Nutritional and Health Functions of Royal Jelly" in "Journal of Liaoning University", Vol. 30, No. 2, 2003)

8. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases:

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality among middle-aged and elderly people. The main symptoms are hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, arteriosclerosis, etc., and the cause of these diseases is often hyperlipidemia. Royal jelly can lower blood lipids and cholesterol and treat hyperlipidemia by regulating fat metabolism. (Excerpt from "Bees·Health·Beauty" published by China Agriculture Press)

9. Beauty and skin care:

Royal jelly has the effect of skin care and beauty. Royal jelly cosmetics can keep the skin moisturized, prevent skin wrinkles, promote the removal of facial wrinkles and acne, and prevent pigmentation.
