More Than A Metal: Benefits of Gold In Cosmetics

Gold is often associated with a certain prestige, with royalty and wealth. This chemical element has a soft, yellow, corrosion-resistant material that can be transformed into products which set an international monetary standard.

Chains, bracelets, earrings, rings and coins are common results of this transformation that can be seen every day, adorning the necks, wrists and fingertips of the public.

But, did you know that gold can be used for more than just jewelry and currency? Or that it can actually benefit your health? Gold-infused skin care is the secret for many people on their quest for beautiful, healthy skin and there are a multitude of reasons why.

Research shows that gold is not only just a metal, perfect for creating attractive accessories, but an antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory properties that are ideal for your skin. Those studies also show that gold can contribute to slowing down the collagen depletion, increasing skin’s elasticity, improving blood circulation, and preventing premature aging, wrinkles, and possibly more.

Here’s how your skin’s glow can rival the gold in the products you use:

1. It can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines

Everyone wants smooth, youthful looking skin. Gold can activate the basal cells of the skin which reduces the elasticity of the skin. It thus reduces wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and marks on the skin, and will make you look younger.

2. It Stimulates the Skin Cells

The ions present in gold help in stimulating the cells, nerves and veins in your body. This leads to improved blood circulation and a subsequent increase in the skin turnover rate, which makes inflammation and hyperpigmentation fade quicker.

3. Gold can brighten the complexion:

As we recollect history, it was rumored that one of the beauty regimes that Cleopatra followed was the use of gold. Cleopatra used a gold mask every night to enhance her complexion and keep her skin youthful, glowing and beautiful.

4. It can slow down collagen depletion

Collagen is naturally produced in your skin to keep it plump and elastic. It is also responsible for keeping your skin and hair smooth and healthy. The collagen level in the body starts depleting from the age of 25 and this is when you notice the changes on your skin. Skin care with gold can slow down the depletion of collagen level and save you from premature aging.

5. It can treat sun damage

We all are very concerned for our skin getting tanned under the sun. Production of melanin or black pigment is a natural defense mechanism of our skin, responsible for tanning, when exposed to sunlight. The production of melanin in the body can be reduced with the use of gold.

7. It could help treat allergies

The antioxidant properties present in gold help by increasing blood circulation, which leads to reduction in acne and other skin allergies.

8. It can treat inflammation

Because gold is said to have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammation properties that help oxygen to enter into the skin for renewal of the cells. This helps in treating ulcer and other inflammatory disorders. 

9. It can help increase skin elasticity

Skin tends to sag when its elasticity decreases or is completely lost. Use of gold can breakdown the elastin gradually and restore the elasticity of the tissues. This would further prevent the skin from sagging. Gold increases the elasticity of the skin, thus makes it firm and toned.

10. It can promote the appearance of glowing skin

Gold improves the blood circulation, which contributes to hydrating and maintaining the skin’s moisture level. The small particles of gold get absorbed into the skin imparting a rich glow. This makes the skin healthy, fresh and radiant.
