Have you been noticing more and more skincare brands adding gold to their product formulations? There’s a reason for this…
Although gold has been used for cosmetic purposes for centuries, science has only recently started to catch up when it comes to understanding how this precious metal can influence the skin. From the way in which it can reduce the appearance of wrinkles to its ability to brighten the complexion, the rapidly increasing number of studies out there makes it impossible to ignore the beauty benefits of gold and dismiss these claims as myths.
As a result, gold is experiencing a resurgence in the skincare world. If you would like to see what all of the fuss is about for yourself, keep reading as CBGärdN shares six gold-infused skincare products to try:
1) The CB Göld Vitamin C Antioxidant Élixir
Everyone needs a vitamin C serum in their skincare routine. This antioxidant has been proven to be an amazing multi-tasker that can help with so much, particularly when it comes to diminishing the visible signs of skin aging. The CB Göld Vitamin C Antioxidant Élixir, which can be found in our CB Göld Collection, takes things one step further. It combines vitamin C with gold, another ingredient loved for its antioxidant prowess. The result is a show-stopping formula capable of transforming your complexion…
What’s in it?
This serum stands out from the other vitamin C serums out there because of how it contains two forms of vitamin C, rather than just one. In addition to gold, there are several other antioxidants in this serum too. Grape stem cells have been confirmed to be exceptionally rich in antioxidants, as have vitamins A and E. Antioxidants always work best when they’re combined with other antioxidants, which is exactly what this serum does.
This formula is also revered for how hydrating it is. Many vitamin C serums have the opposite effect. Due to an overly potent percentage of vitamin C and a lack of hydrating compounds, they can often trigger irritation and sensitivities. This serum, on the other hand, doesn’t do that. Thanks to the plant oils in this product, with avocado, olive, and jojoba being a few that have been used, it has both a hydrating and moisturizing effect on the skin. This enables the skin to fully reap the benefits of the antioxidants in the serum without having to deal with any side effects.
2) The CB Göld Replenishing Serum
Another gold-infused serum worth adding to your skincare routine is the CB Göld Replenishing Serum. This is another serum that’s brimming with antioxidants. However, it also works to strengthen the complexion from within while repairing the appearance of environmental damage. While it can most definitely be used as a standalone serum, layering it over the top of the vitamin C serum featured above will enable you to magnify the results that you see.
What’s in it?
This serum is loaded with botanical extracts, each one reputed to have a very high antioxidant content. On the ingredient list, you’ll find hawthorn berry, apple, nettle leaf, lilac, and grape stem cells. Plus, there’s a sprinkling of gold, another antioxidant. It’s an ideal combination for anyone who has been battling with the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, dullness, or any of the other visible skin concerns that come about due to free radical damage.
You’ll also notice that this serum contains a blend of peptides. Research shows that peptides are fantastic ingredients for reducing the visibility of wrinkles. They leave the skin barrier feeling supported and more functional too – something that naturally declines with age. Peptides are also wonderfully hydrating. This quality, combined with the sodium hyaluronate in this serum, is what gives the skin a beautifully plump and radiant finish each time this formula is applied.
3) The CB Göld Velvet Silk Crème
Let’s jump back to the CB Göld Collection, this time focusing on the CB Göld Velvet Silk Crème. While we do have several rich moisturizers here at CBGärdN, those thicker blends aren’t for everyone. Whether you have oily skin or you’re simply seeking something lightweight to wear under makeup, it’s always good to have a weightless moisturizer in your skincare arsenal. This is where the CB Göld Velvet Silk Crème comes in…
What’s in it?
This moisturizer is perfect for anyone dealing with a discolored, dull, or damaged complexion. Why? Because, firstly, it offers several ingredients that can help to even out the skin tone and lighten the appearance of dark spots. Between licorice root extract, green tea extract, gold, grape stem cells, and vitamin A, your skin will soon look clearer and brighter than ever!
Of course, every good moisturizer should hydrate the skin, and this cream is no exception. In addition to sodium hyaluronate, one of the most-loved hydrating ingredients around, it also boasts organic algae extract. Not only does algae have an incredible hydrating effect on the skin, but it’s also one of the most antioxidant-rich plants out there. Even better, studies show that algae extract can also reduce the feeling of inflammation in the skin. Once again, this contributes to a healthier and more even complexion.
4) The CB Göld Daily Rehydration Cream
If you have oily skin, finding a good moisturizer can be tricky. You need a formula that isn’t going to clog your pores or leave your skin feeling heavy, just like the lightweight cream featured above. However, at the same time, your chosen moisturizer should also help to rebalance and de-grease your complexion. This is where the CB Göld Daily Rehydration Cream can be a game-changer…
What’s in it?
Just like all of the other gold-infused skincare products we’ve featured, this one is overflowing with antioxidants. Gold is joined by grape stem cells, grape seed extract, rose fruit extract, and nettle leaf extract. You’ll find rosemary extract in here too. This superstar ingredient not only repairs the look of UVB damage but has also been proven to reduce the appearance of acne lesions.
Salicylic acid is another noteworthy ingredient in this moisturizer. This is a beta-hydroxy acid that’s famous for its exfoliating effects. Unlike alpha-hydroxy acids, salicylic acid is oil-soluble. This means that it can fight past the sebum that coats your skin to reach into your pores. It’s a great ingredient for cutting back on how oily the skin looks and feels. At the same time, this cream will hydrate your skin, making it everything that oily, acne-prone skin could want!
5) The CB Göld Imperial Transforming Masque
Just like gold, clay is an ingredient that has been used on the skin throughout history. It formed the basis of skincare for so many civilizations all over the world. People mainly used it to detoxify and rejuvenate the feel of their skin, and that hasn’t changed today. However, thanks to advanced methods of formulating skincare products, clay masks are now more effective than ever. The CB Göld Imperial Transforming Masque from our CB Göld Collection is proof of that!
What’s in it?
This mask brings together two types of clay; bentonite and kaolin. Kaolin is known for being a gentle clay while bentonite has extremely powerful oil-absorbing properties. Together, they’re exceptionally effective at drawing excess sebum away from the skin to leave it looking less shiny.
The downside to such a high-performance clay mask is that it has the potential to be drying. Clay masks in general can sometimes do this, especially if they’re left on the skin for too long. The good news is that you won’t have to worry about that with the CB Göld Imperial Transforming Masque. The inclusion of honey and seaweed extract in this formula enables it to draw in and bind moisture to the skin, preventing any dehydration. In fact, these ingredients, along with the numerous botanical extracts in this mask, will leave your skin feeling more hydrated than ever!
6) The CB Göld Purifying Heating Mask
Here’s another gold-infused face mask to consider; the CB Göld Purifying Heating Mask. Just like the mask featured above, this one works wonders on oily skin. However, it’s not quite as focused on oil absorption as the mask above, meaning that it’s one that other skin types can benefit from too. The fact that it’s a thermal mask is the icing on the cake. The heat that it emits as it’s massaged onto the skin will leave your pores feeling relaxed. This will make it much easier for the other ingredients in the mask to work their way into your skin.
What’s in it?
This mask contains just one type of clay; kaolin. However, thanks to the mask’s self-heating effects, kaolin is all you’ll need. With the heat making the pores feel more receptive, it won’t take as much effort to remove excess sebum and other impurities.
Of course, this mask isn’t only about taking unwanted substances away from your skin. It has also been designed to flood your skin with a host of exquisite ingredients. Ascorbic acid, the purest form of vitamin C, is one. It’s joined by vitamins A and E. This trio is capable of targeting just about every visible skin concern you could experience. Their effects are enhanced by the coffee seed extract and lemon fruit extract in this formula. Both will perk up your complexion, leaving it looking revived.
Finally, let’s not forget about the gold in this mask. Just like in all of the other gold-infused products featured above, it will give your skin an instant luminescence that will quickly make this mask one of your favorites!
