What factors contribute to skin’s aged and unhealthy look ?

Collagen, the protein that “supports” our skin is produced lesser, as we age. Along with loss of elastin, this makes our skin lose its elasticity; leading to appearance of wrinkles. Adding to this is free radical cell damage that is increased by UV exposure. This exposure also results in tanning, pigmentation and freckling. With growing age, epidermis (outermost layer of skin) thins out, increasing the damaging effect of UV radiations. Moreover there is a reduction in the growth of new skin cells; which is imperative for skin repairing and health. All these factors combined result in an aged and unhealthy looking skin.

How does Gold help in skin revitalization ?

Gold is truly a skin rejuvenator. It reduces inflammation; heals the skin; detoxifies it; as well as prevents premature aging of the skin; giving it health and glow.

Next, it improves the cell turnover rate; increasing the production of new skin cells. It even preserves the elastin; maintaining the elasticity of the skin.

A higher cell turnover and its anti-inflammatory property, help in accelerating healing of rashes, burns, eczema, fungal and other skin problems.
