Stella Ralfini, author of an Amazon best seller, Three Faces of Sex, claims to have discovered a hidden advantage of semen - it has anti-ageing benefits for the skin.

Ralfini says she was let into this secret by a woman she met in India - who she describes as the most beautiful woman she has ever seen.

"Your lover's semen is packed with recognised proteins and minerals that are known to reduce and slow down the ageing process," she says.

You might want to carefully consider the semen donor if you are thinking of this as a method of skin care.

A recent study found that obese and overweight men produce a diminished quantity and quality of semen.

This grandma shares her technique saying all you need to do is "scoop a little seminal fluid into your hand and apply it to face and neck,

"Leave for fifteen minutes, wash off with warm water and apply your usual day/night cream."

She says that this process only needs to be repeated once every second week to see results.

It seems Ralfini isn’t the only person to use the curious anti-ageing regime. Hollywood actress Heather Locklear is also a fan.

In an exclusive interview for Hollywood Life expert cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Oscar Hevia said that there is some truth behind this bizarre beauty tip.

Apparently the proteolytic enzymes in semen break down proteins and as such when applied to the skin break down the uneven and thickened dead layer of older and sun-damaged skin, making it feel smoother.
