The Benefits of Gold in Your Skin Care Routine
Is gold in your skin care a luxury or necessity? A fairly new ingredient to cosmeceutical skin care, colloidal gold nanoparticles are touted because of their skin illuminating properties and how they help deliver other anti-aging antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients deep into the layers of skin. But does it really work?
"I though gold was hype, but after seeing my client's skin immediately turn softer smoother, and tighter - I'm a believer."
~ Tina Zillmann, LE, CLHRP and Founder of SRC
When we think about healthy skin, the hallmarks that come to mind are clear, bright and smooth. Unfortunately, we have to defend our skin against UV and pollution on a daily basis, and contend with the natural aging processes. Adding colloidal gold helps fortify your skin with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support, and it enhances the penetration of other cosmeceutical actives, including retinol, vitamin C and amino peptides, to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and discolorations.
Long-term benefits are wonderful for age prevention and correction, but for those who want instant gratification, adding colloidal gold to your skin care routine amplifies your skin's luminosity with it's refractive properties. Research about light and refraction of the skin has been a growing trend with the popularity of lasers. Researchers have pinpointed hydration, exfoliation and collagen as the major contributors to skin radiance. Gold is just icing on the cake.
So, does gold work wonders on the skin? In our experience, yes, and we invite your to experience the results for yourself with our signature 1-hour Lifting Gold Facial or get your 24k Lifting Gold Mask to use at home.
