Today a beauty company has come up with a 24 karat gold facial that promises to make you look younger and to banish your wrinkles.
For the Luxe 24 Karat Gold Facial the highest grade of gold leaf is used and the procedure that lasts 80 minutes costs about 200 pounds.
The use of this precious metal in beautifying procedures dates back a long time in history.
It is said that Cleopatra used to sleep with a gold mask every night.
Also, the Chinese empresses used to massage their faces with gold rollers.
In spite of knowing that gold is beneficial for the skin and in spite the fact that it has such a background in being used for beauty treatments, it wasn't used in the modern days.
This is because it was very difficult to make it penetrate the skin.
This treatment comes as a coronation for the luxurious beauty treatments.
Some of them include using caviar as a conditioner for your hair and facials with diamonds and pearls.
There are companies that use sturgeon eggs for making beauty products.
The gold facial helps the skin produce more cells.
The whole process is a result of the fact that the skin tries to reject the precious metal and so it builds up more cells.
In a normal moment, the body produces new cells every 28 days.
But with this facial cell-building is more accelerated.
As a result your skin looks firmer and tighter.
There are no actual side-effects from this gold facial except maybe to your pocket.
A good thing that one could do in order to keep going for these luxury facials would be to invest in gold.
Gold has always been a safe and profitable investment and today even more so.
So if you like to look young and radiant try this yellow metal and see how it feels.
