The ultimate skin rejuvenating treatment of 24 Karat Gold
As seen on "Marie Osmond" Hallmark channel talk show.
Gold is steeped in myths and legends spanning thousands of years of humankind's search for knowledge and immortality. Gold has been used in therapeutics since ancient times, especially in Ancient Persia, Egypt, Rome, India and China. It's use in ancient Persia as a medicine was handed down over 5000 years. In that time; “when plants were used as ointments, the patient’s body was washed with a preparation containing the essence of a plant; this was called Vetespobesh (complete therapy). The stem of Haoma (Ephedra) plant indigenous to Persia (modern Iran) was used for fumigation. A mixture of Haoma essence and gold metal water was used as an external elixir.
The Egyptian Pharoes were prescribed it together with Queen Nefertiti and Cleopatra for it's health and beauty benefits. For many centuries, the Chinese had been cooking rice together with gold coin in order to supplement gold in their organisms. In ancient Rome, gold salves were used for the treatment of a variety of skin problems. Ancient Greece and areas of the Middle East record the use of gold through the middle ages.
Therapeutic characteristic of gold was described by Aristotle and Paracelsus. Gold is known to be one of the softest metals, which is readily absorbed by the skin. Throughout history, gold has been recognized for its luxurious and beautifying properties. It has also been known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. "Historians say Cleopatra maintained her youth and beauty by wearing a mask of pure gold to bed nightly to activate the power of gold for a youthful and fresh appearance fit for a Queen".
In 2007, Japan has introduced this lavish beauty resource to the modern world.
At Sunsara Skin Care we are proud to give you the opportunity to recreate the gold mask of Cleopatra for today’s woman.
Our Gold Leaf 99.9 is made from very finely beaten pure gold
leaf 24K. One Sheet of a 24K Gold mask is 0.1 micron
[0.0001mm] thin, therefore penetrates into skin, within the deep
cellular levels, restoring the lost elasticity properties of the tissues.
A higher amount of blood is brought in the area under the action
of gold, speeding up cellular processes and activating regeneration.
Furthermore, gold action is closely connected with the electrons
present in the cells that are sensitive to electric charges; these
ions will become active under the influence of it and recreate
broken cellular connections.
That way the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is diminished
with each treatment. Gold also slows down collagen depletion and
the breakdown of elastin to prevent sagging skin. It also
stimulates cellular growth of the basal layer to regenerate healthy,
firm skin cells and provide a tightening effect. The skin care
benefits of gold have also been recognised in Ayurveda.
