I once bought active royal bee jelly for a\u00a0skincare<\/a>\u00a0formula I was making, and decided to feel what it felt like on my face, so I massaged a small amount into my skin.<\/p>\n

In a few minutes I noticed my skin tightening. I decided to go look in the mirror, and low and behold I looked like I had just had a\u00a0face lift<\/a>! While putting royal jelly on straight is too tightening to wear comfortably for very long, I formulated a royal jelly\u00a0face lift<\/a>\u00a0cream that feels good and gives the look of a\u00a0face lift<\/a>\u00a0too! Here is the formula:<\/p>\n

The Royal Jelly Facelift Cream<\/strong><\/p>\n

This easy skin cream only takes 25 minutes to make! Use \u2018active\u2019 royal jelly available in health food stores.<\/p>\n

* 2 1\/2 ounces blended oils (see \u201cWhat are the Best Oils for Your Skin,\u201d below)
\n* 1 1\/2 ounces\u00a0coconut oil<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0cocoa butter<\/a>
\n* 1\/2 ounce\u00a0beeswax<\/a>
\n* 4 ounces distilled or purified water
\n* 2-3 teaspoon active royal jelly
\n* 30 drops\u00a0grapefruit<\/a>\u00a0seed extract (available in health food stores)
\n*\u00a0Essential oils<\/a>\u00a0of choice (optional)<\/p>\n

Weigh the\u00a0coconut oil<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0beeswax<\/a>\u00a0on a scale. Combine the oils and\u00a0beeswax<\/a>\u00a0in a double boiler, and melt over a low heat, stirring occasionally. This step takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the melted oils and\u00a0beeswax<\/a>\u00a0from the stove and add the water. Mix with an electric mixer until creamy and thick. Stir in the\u00a0grapefruit<\/a>\u00a0seed extract and\u00a0essential oils<\/a>\u00a0(if using). Store in glass jars with screw-on tops. Makes 8 ounces of cream.<\/p>\n

Note: This cream should last for 4 months or so, but if you see mold growing, discard. When you make kitchen\u00a0cosmetics<\/a>, cleanliness is really important so bacteria doesn\u2019t grow. Purified or distilled water is used in this recipe because bacteria has been filtered out.<\/em><\/p>\n

Preparation Time: 25 minutes<\/p>\n
