Benefits of Gold on Skin Care and Anti-Aging Purposes

Be a Golden Goddess

We all know that alchemy is one of the pseudosciences that many ancient scholars practice. They believe that certain elements can be transformed into gold. In this case, good health and beautiful skin can be achieved through the use of gold bars and its other forms whether worn as jewelry or ingested as powder in food and drinks.

Some spas and beauty salons offer a 24-Carat Pure Gold Facial, which increases blood flow to the face and brings more oxygen and nutrients to human cells. According to skincare experts, this kind of facial speeds up cellular processes and promotes regeneration of skin cells. Aside from that, gold also activates electrons in the skin that stimulates healing between cells. This slows down the loss of elastin caused by aging and prevents sagging skin.

Apart from facials, consumers can also buy skincare products with gold in them. There are skin toners and moisturizers that use gold along with polypeptide compounds and skin-nourishing proteins. In addition, ancient Egyptians used to eat powdered gold with their food because they believed they'd become immortal from it. presently, chefs in five-star restaurants are using edible gold to decorate garnishes in their dishes.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
