Use Gold on Your Face

You must have come across commercials extolling the virtues of gold skin care products. They claim to be made from pure gold and are almost as expensive as the precious metal. Gold worn as jewelry will definitely enhance your looks. But does this automatically mean that gold will work wonders as a cosmetic product too? Let’s find out…

Gold facials are in the vogue now. Beauty salons recommend a gold facial for anyone keen on retaining their youthful look. Since gold is a soft metal, it is easily absorbed by the skin. Using gold on your skin may actually tone up your facial muscles and reduce all those lines and wrinkles marring your face. Moreover, the glow induced by the use of gold particles on your face will be unparalleled.  Gold has the required properties for preventing sagging of skin by restoring its lost elasticity. Gold is also said to stimulate formation of new and healthy skin cells producing a visible tightening effect on your skin.

History reveals that the legendary beauty Cleopetra had gold facials as an anti aging remedy. Old Chinese medicine also prescribed gold as the product necessary for retaining youth. Indian folklore too emphasizes the importance of gold as a beauty product.

The procedure makes use of facial creams containing pure 24K gold. These creams can easily penetrate the skin and act on the lower layer of the skin. Gold can also facilitate the lymphatic drainage of the skin and helps in removal of toxins and waste products from the skin. This simple action cleanses the skin thoroughly, rejuvenates it and makes it sparkling clean. Gold facial masks are also applied in order to make the skin soft and supple. The skin revives its elasticity, resilience and radiance on being treated with gold.  The entire treatment is targeted to make you look ‘as good as gold’.
