According to a June 21, 2013 Harper’s Bazaar article, titled “Go for
the Gold,” gold seems to be gaining more ground in the realm cosmetics
and anti-aging. Gold, it turns out, may have some powerful effect on the integrity and appearance of the skin (Go to goo.gl/SN7T2).
“I found the article interesting, says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical
Director of Epione Beverly Hills, "but there is no way I’d recommend
that my patients use gold as a skin care ingredient until I see
legitimate scientific evidence of its safety and efficacy.”
According to the report, there is no solid evidence that gold can
have any effect on one’s skin at all. However, there are many firsthand
accounts of how gold makes one's face feel and look after application.
Products containing gold are particularly marketed toward women,
including fine gold dust in creams and lotions.
The article states that some experts believe that the gold dust in
these cosmetics is just a marketing gimmick and that any reliable
results are really due to other substances in the product. Nevertheless,
there is a growing legion of believers who claim that colloidal gold
can work wonders. Even doubters agree that such products are unlikely to
do any harm. The medically accepted practice of injecting colloidal
gold uses far more of this precious metal than these topical
applications and has no serious side effects.
