Gold, it has been the envy of many and the pleasure of few.  It has always been considered a luxurious and rare substance, even as far back as Cleopatra’s days.  In fact, it is rumored that she and many Chinese empresses actually used it as a bath to keep their skin young and be a sort of fountain of youth.  Since then, some celebrities have used it as a major component of their face creams, and only recently has science really backed them up. 

Science has recently shown that if you use gold properly, it actually works as a powerful antioxidant, and this means that it can protect your skin from serious damage by basically killing off free radicals that would increase and encourage premature aging.  But unlike others, gold is actually capable of helping your skin to promote the growth of more collagen.  This would make it in some ways the proverbial fountain of youth just as they say and just as they have used it for. 

It’s expensive still the same, but now while many thought that silver was actually the more valuable element before, gold has obviously proven itself to be more valuable than originally thought.
