We’re sure you’ve heard about the trend of infusing real gold — yes the kind most of your jewelry is made of — into beauty products. And if we have anything in common, you probably thought, here we go with another expensive trend to get people to spend money and feel like they’re special. But it turns out putting gold in beauty products doesn’t just make them enticing to look at (and buy), there actually is a benefit to the skin. As cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank told Instyle, “Gold is used as an anti-aging ingredient, as it can help reduce inflammation, which is a cause of acne and hyper pigmentation. When applied topically, it also helps brighten the skin.”
We don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love more radiant skin and, as women of color, we’re especially prone to hyperpigmentation. So go ahead and take a little dip in the gold pond. It’ll cost you, but can you really put a price on beautiful skin?
