24-Karat Gold Spa Therapy
This is the ultimate luxury-spa therapy. Just like beauty-queen Cleopatra slept with a gold mask every night, today more luxurious spas are offering 24-karat gold treatments. Gold is known for its beautifying and healing properties. Not only did Cleopatra use pure gold to maintain her youthful skin, but in Ancient Rome gold was used to treat various skin problems.
Gold treatments today can be facial or for the full body, with the facial starting at around $175 for a sixty minute treatment. Be certain that gold has many benefits. Gold slows down collagen depletion to prevent sagging skin and stimulates cellular growth to regenerate healthy, firm skin cells. Gold reduces wrinkles, fines lines, and the appearance of sun damage. And its most famous benefit, the basis for Cleopatra’s beauty, gold fights off damaging radicals and keeps skin looking young and incredibly soft.
Unfortunately, the gold spa treatments are not as spread yet, but you can always do some home therapy on your own. You can buy a Gold Revitalizer that will deeply purify and moisturize your skin. Gold reaches even the deepest keratin layers, known also as the “barrier zone.” The revitalizer uses a Gold ion formula, which does not damage the skin as most peeling masks, but instead, moisturizes to the fullest. Your skin will be glowing, just like Cleopatra! The revitalizer is priced at $80 per 1.8 oz.
So, whether you decide to spoil yourself in a luxurious spa, covered in Gold, or you decide to buy a little Gold to use at home, you are sure to feel like a queen.
