Gold is everywhere. From alcohol and chocolate to furniture, architecture, clothing, and art. We think of gold as decorative, to make things look luxurious as gold has roots in politics, royalty, and ancient cultures from around the world. It was rumored that the streets in America were paved with gold. Men moved to California in 1849 to partake in the Gold Rush with hopes and dreams of finding even one nugget. Gold is everywhere. Even in skincare. WHY IS THERE GOLD IN SKINCARE? IS IT GOOD FOR MY SKIN AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
While the idea of gold in skincare might sound crazy, once you learn about the benefits, you’ll be stocking up on every gold skincare product you can get your hands on!
So why is gold in skincare? Well, there are so many important properties within gold. Its natural properties reduce acne, even out pigmentation and soothe sensitive skin. Gold is magical on the cellular level. Gold activates Basal cells which create new skins, pushing the old dead skin cells up and o from the inside out. Pushing out the dead and old results in fresher, more elastic skin along with the fading of marks, spots, line, and wrinkles. Gold has antibacterial properties that work wonders on ulcers and other inflammations, reducing swelling, removing redness, and rejuvenating the skin. It was even used in Ancient Egypt to treat skin inflammations, making it a classic skincare trick! Gold is typically a safe ingredient in skincare but just to be safe, it’s best to proceed with caution when incorporating a new ingredient into your routine. As it regenerates skin cells, pushing out the old and dead, gold is recommended for everyone, but especially those with sensitive skin, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring. It helps to repair the damage while adding a radiant glow. Gold is also highly recommended for those who live in cities because it combats environmental aggressors and daily pollutants. WHAT SKIN TYPES IS GOLD GOOD FOR?
OKAY TO MIX WITH:
DON’T MIX WITH:
Retinols: an intense aid to skincare issues such as fine lines. Dermatologists highly recommend avoiding gold into your skincare routine if you’re already using retinol and AHAs in it as both are very intense. If you do choose to use retinol and gold, try alternating between the two at night to avoid potential irritation.
Peptides: repair the skin’s barrier. Collagen is an important skincare peptide because it works as the support structure of your skin. Antioxidants: the main way to address, prevent, and even sometimes correct free radical damage to the skin. Gold nanoparticles are thought to help other ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing its e ects.
AHAs: an irritating exfoliant that can leave your skin more sensitive than you found it.
