Is it true that gold is immortal for the skin?

At this time in the beauty industry, no one probably doesn't know...gold... Important ingredients of almost every form of cosmetics, whether it be nourishing creams, lotions, serums mixed with gold powder. gold facial mask It refers to the properties of gold that help restore the skin to be radiant. Reduce wrinkles of age Like noble ladies in the past, it was used as an ingredient in all kinds of beauty products. Whether it was Queen Cleopatra or high-ranking women in the courts of Asian countries, gold was used to treat the skin.

It's like an excellent elixir for the skin. Today we will answer the question that gold is an elixir for the skin. Can it really help prolong the life of the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles?

The benefits of gold on the skin... In a test tube!!!

If we consider the properties of gold that various cosmetics refer to, it is probably useful in skin care. This is likely due to the fact that gold has anti-inflammatory properties. (antiinflammatory) and antioxidant effects (antioxidant) However, when considering the scientific evidence that has been studied These effects of gold are clearly evident in people. It will be a study in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Gold in salt form has been found to help relieve inflammation. and joint pain well But for the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of gold on skin cells Instead, information was found on studies of such effects using tissues and studying in vitro (in vitro studies) only. It was found to study both effects of gold on skin cells. Through inhibiting the glycation process of collagen, which is an important process that accelerates the destruction of collagen and causes it to quickly deteriorate. Resulting in premature wrinkles. In addition, gold also has a wound healing effect, which is caused by stimulating the creation of new skin cells. Stimulate the creation of elastin It also helps inhibit the function of melanin pigment. Therefore, it is expected that from these properties of gold it will help reduce wrinkles, tighten and brighten the skin.

Bringing gold into the skin cells... for effective performance

Even if we use products or cosmetics that contain gold as an ingredient, It does not mean that we will receive the full benefits of gold. We may also need to consider whether these product forms can actually cause the gold molecules to be absorbed into the skin cells. Because considering the research mentioned above For gold to be effective it must be absorbed through various layers of the skin. Then it binds to the target cells, including collagen, elastin, or melanin pigment. which is in the deep skin layer for factors that cause gold to be absorbed through the skin layer into target cells Must take into account…

1. Skin layer

The skin layer is the most important problem. Because our skin has a process to protect it from various foreign substances. Easily enters the skin By creating a layer of skin called the stratum corneum, which is like The brick blocks are arranged in an orderly manner to prevent foreign objects. Including gold molecules as well, able to pass through the skin. Therefore, in order to solve this problem Therefore, various innovations have been made to temporarily cause the stratum corneum to become disorganized. As a result, gold molecules can penetrate through the said layer more easily, such as using high-frequency sound wave technology. (Phonophoresis) creating a gentle electric current. (Iontophoresis), using heat (Thermal ablation) or using low-frequency ultrasound waves (Ultrasound) to help push gold molecules through into the deeper layers of the skin. To bind to target cells and have full effect

2.Molecular size of gold

This is because gold molecules in their normal state are quite large. Therefore it is difficult to be absorbed into the skin. Therefore, reducing the size of the gold molecule to be smaller at the nano level. (Nanoparticle) will help gold molecules be absorbed into the skin cells better.

From research on the properties of gold in test tubes... to the results of human studies

from anti-inflammatory properties Antioxidants and helps heal wounds As a result, gold has been applied for the beauty of the skin. Most of the studies were conducted on people with acne problems. or skin rash The most common skin conditions among these study participants were inflammation and redness. A few years ago, the first studies showed the effectiveness of gold in treating acne. The study was conducted on people with acne who received laser treatment and used small gold nanoparticles (gold nanoparticles) together with the use of high-frequency waves to deliver gold molecules that had been heated by radiation. Infrared inhibits the functioning of overactive sebaceous glands. which is an important cause of acne. Compared to a control group treated with 2% salicylic acid, the results showed that the group treated with gold nanoparticles had reduced acne (assessed using the acne score to assess acne severity) and reduced inflammation. of the skin was significantly better than the control group. There are some minor side effects including: The red rash will last approximately 30-60 minutes after laser treatment and the rash will disappear on its own. However, this study had a small number of participants. And the study period is only 28 weeks, making the most important thing to consider is the long-term safety of receiving gold nanoparticles into the body for a long period of time. Long-term studies are still needed to confirm treatment efficacy and safety.

For information on using gold to slow down skin aging Reduce wrinkles of age or to restore the skin to be firm and radiant At present, it has not been clearly proven by scientific evidence. Whether gold is really effective in slowing down skin aging in people or not? It remains to be studied in the future.

Side effects from using gold for beauty purposes

If we consider the physical and chemical properties of gold, it is found that Pure gold, once it enters the body, will not react with chemicals or any cells within the body, so the chance of experiencing side effects from gold is likely quite low. However, in 2001, the Dermatology Association The United States also classifies gold as an allergen. The group at highest risk of side effects are women. And now we have modified the process of introducing gold molecules into the skin cells in various ways. These processes can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation. There is also a lack of studies on the long-term safety of using gold over a long period of time.

From the above information When considering the products that contain gold as an ingredient that are currently on the market. It may not be as effective as advertised. Because the actual use of gold in humans may have different results. or may not have the same results as in a test tube This is because our bodies There are complex body mechanisms. than animal tissue used in in vitro testing. And there are many factors that affect the action of gold. Therefore, you may have to weigh up a bit about its effectiveness. There is still no scientific evidence to guarantee against allergies. or side effects that may occur from using gold
