24 Carat Facial

Throughout history, gold has been recognized for its luxurious and beautifying properties. Cleopatra used pure gold as a tool to maintain youthful skin and reportedly slept in a gold mask every night. In ancient Rome, gold salves were used for the treatment of a variety of skin problems. In ancient Chinese medicine gold was a key to youth, as the queen of the Ch’ing dynasty used a gold massage roller on her face everyday.

What makes the gold facial work?
A remarkably potent hydrating compound, Gamma PGA is a major breakthrough in the science of skincare. Originally discovered in marine jellyfish, it is derived from Natto, a Japanese soybean-based health food item that is over one thousand years old. Gamma PGA hydrates and prepares the skin and helps gold penetrate when used in combination.
