The word ‘gold’ brings to mind a glistening room full of gold bars and sovereigns that could put Scrooge McDuck to shame. The yellow metal has always been associated with jewellery and antique currency and now, it has found its way to the beauty department in the form of a gold facial too!

24k gold facial

It might sound like news to you but gold has been deeply rooted in skin care since the existence of the Roman Empire. The birth of the 24 k gold facial is proof of how far gold has come in the cosmetic industry. In case you were still doubting the popularity of the metal in the beauty world, let us remind you that it was a big hit with the Victoria’s Secret Angels during their recent show in Paris.

The luxurious facial that’s only available in select salons starts off with the application of hydrating ingredients and potions on the face. A 24k gold leaf is then applied over this layer to boost collagen and brighten the skin and also help the hydrating ingredients work their magic. The result? Skin that’s taut and radiant post the facial.
