Is it Worth Spending More on Premium Skincare Products?

Premium skincare products from OROGOLD

Everyone spends their money on things they love and that make them happy. For some, that means getting the latest dresses or heels from their favorite fashion label. Others splurge on home décor to spruce up their apartment. But for beauty lovers, treating yourself means paying a pretty penny for some premium skincare products.

But not everyone is on board with skincare shopping sprees that burn a hole in your pocket. There are a lot of cheaper skincare options out there, from small brands or even your local drugstore.

It’s easy to scrimp on skincare. Why buy lush, high-end serums when you can get something cheaper at the nearest drugstore? How different can affordable moisturizers be from those in luxurious, exclusive collections, right? Are they even worth the money?

Today, we’ll talk about whether premium skincare products are worth the high price tag, and why OROGOLD is the best place to start your journey exploring luxury skincare.

The Appeal of Luxury Skincare

Premium skincare products

In a world where prices rise all the time for things like gas and even groceries, you’d think skincare enthusiasts would let up about buying premium skincare products. But we can’t help it; smooth, silky skincare formulas with tantalizing fragrances make us weak in the knees!

But just how popular is luxury skincare? Many might be surprised to know that premium skincare products are almost consistently on the rise. They are projected to grow by 3.7% by 2028, making it an industry worth $80.6 billion!

This is due to several reasons. The luxury lifestyle is something that the majority of people strive for. And even those who can’t afford trips to Paris or a stay at a five-star hotel try to give themselves little luxuries in their everyday routine — like through skincare. So, premium skincare products are still very popular, even if it’s not exactly a top priority on everyone’s grocery list.

That’s why we at OROGOLD make sure to give you luxury collections you and your skin will enjoy, from the ultra-rich Caviar Collection featuring sea kelp to the advanced Cryogenic Collection to give your complexion that extra bright, luminous look.

But is Spending More on Premium Skincare Products Worth It?

When it comes to skincare, you get what you pay for. Paying a premium for luxury skincare goods gets you better ingredients, silkier formulations, cutting-edge technology, and even sustainable packaging. But is it worth it?

We say yes — it’s worth spending a little extra on premium skincare products. Your skin is a part of your body, and skincare is essential for your keeping that part of your body healthy.

If you want to keep your skin as youthful as possible, investing in renowned, properly formulated skincare products is a must — even if it means spending a few hundred dollars more.

Some people skimp on skincare and then spend tons of money at Sephora on foundation, blush, and other makeup products. But think about it. If your skin isn’t feeling healthy and doesn’t look good, your makeup won’t either.

So, if you must choose one thing to splurge on — skincare or makeup — it’s a million times better to spend your hard-earned money on premium skincare products. After all, if you have a smooth, healthy, clear complexion, any makeup product will look stunning on you.

Still not convinced? Here are six more reasons to invest in premium skincare products.

1. They’re Rich in Effective Ingredients Instead of Just Harmful Fillers

Premium skincare products with multivitamins

Cheap skincare is sometimes laced with too many fillers, like silicones and parabens, instead of ingredients that will help your skin. The weird thing is that these fillers make your skin feel smooth, so you think they’re working. But they don’t actually improve your skin’s texture or hydration levels.

More skincare lovers are becoming “skintellectuals,” aka consumers knowledgeable about skincare ingredients. And any skintellectual knows that products full of potentially harmful fillers are a huge no-no.

Premium skincare products, on the other hand, reassure you that they contain hardworking ingredients instead of just dimethicone and parabens. That’s why all OROGOLD products are paraben-free. We’d rather give you only the good stuff, none of the fillers.

Luxury brands make sure that they use botanical extracts and actives that are proven to work on the skin, which is why you pay a premium in the first place. You can expect premium skincare products to be formulated with beautiful ingredients that work together to be extra effective on your skin.

Take, for example, OROGOLD’s 24K Multi-Vitamin Collection. Instead of focusing on one key ingredient, the products in this line contain multiple vitamins that give your skin a gorgeous glow and texture. The 24K Multi-Vitamin Day Moisturizer + Amino Acid contains vitamins A, C, and E, but also chamomile, shea butter, and Centella Asiatica to get the job done. And as always, it’s paraben-free.

2. There’s More Thought and Science Behind Every Formulation

Another reason you pay a premium when buying luxury skincare may be because of the scientific research that goes on behind the scenes when the products are being designed. It’s not as easy as mixing together a few ingredients. Some products take years to perfect to make sure they’re effective.

So, when you buy premium skincare products, not only are you getting lush ingredients and beautiful packaging, but you also get thoughtful formulas as well. Most, if not all, of them are science-backed, probably with a huge team of top scientists and chemists.

Many premium brands solve a lot of common problems with everyday skincare products. OROGOLD, for example, carries chemical exfoliants so harsh scrubs don’t cause micro-tears in your skin, and cleansers that thoroughly wash your face without stripping it of moisture.

Because luxury skincare labels put more thought and effort into their formulations, these brands usually have multiple collections, each targeting a specific skin concern. This is something we like to practice at OROGOLD as well. We have premium skincare products for any skin issue, whether it’s fading the look of dark spots or rehydrating dry skin.

3. Luxury Brands Allow You to Indulge in the Most Lavish Ingredients

Cosmetics with gold

It’s easy to find common ingredients like vitamin C or coconut oil in affordable skincare. But you’ll only find the most unique and glamorous ones in premium skincare products.

One example of this is gold, OROGOLD’s signature ingredient. Gold has been a symbol of affluence and opulence for centuries, having roots in royalty and politics back in ancient civilizations. But today, it’s used in cosmetics for its ability to improve the look of firmness in maturing skin.

The nanoparticles of gold are also said to help other ingredients absorb into the skin deeper, increasing their efficacy. That makes your premium skincare products work even harder to transform the appearance of your complexion.

These reasons are why we love to infuse gold into our bestselling products, like the OROGOLD 24K Deep Moisturizer. Not only does this non-greasy cream have shea butter and vitamin E to leave your skin velvety smooth, but it also has gold to add a bit of extra indulgence to your beauty regimen.

4. The Products are Designed with the Most Advanced Skincare Technologies

When you invest in luxury skincare, you’ll also experience a lot of new, innovative skincare technologies for the first time. Sure, you’re paying for the premium brand name and effective ingredients, but you also get your money’s worth from the most advanced designs and formulas in the skincare world.

With OROGOLD, you can experience unique, cutting-edge skincare technologies. One of these is heat activation through the 24K Termica Collection.

Rich in kaolin clay and vitamins A, C, and E, the thermal 24K Termica Energizing Mask heats up as soon as you apply it to the face, leaving your skin feeling satisfyingly warm and relaxed. It also activates the ingredients in the mask, allowing them to do their job better. When you’re done, your skin will feel supple and look stunningly radiant!

Another innovation our luxury brand is proud of is instant serum treatments. The 24K Rose Gold IV Filler Concentrate, for example, zaps away the look of wrinkles instantly, thanks to DMAE and vitamin A. Simply apply it to your wrinkle, pat it in, and you’ll have smoother-looking skin in seconds! Only premium skincare products get you results that are that fast.

5. Premium Skincare Has Gorgeous, Sustainable Packaging

24K Rose Gold Collection

Investing in premium skincare products almost always guarantees beautiful packaging. We at OROGOLD make the most exquisite tubs and glass jars for our lush moisturizers, and sleek, elegant bottles for toners and serums. That way, you’ll be super proud to put your OROGOLD products up on your Instagrammable skincare shelfie!

But aside from having good-looking packaging, premium brands also strive to give you sustainable, eco-friendly packaging — it’s also part of what you’re paying for.

Because the jars and bottles are so beautiful to begin with, it’s easy for you to want to reuse or upcycle them for use around the house once you’ve used up the product.

6. It’s an Act of Self-Love When You Want to Treat Yourself

A lot of people think washing your face and moisturizing at night is kind of perfunctory — like it’s just for hygiene and nothing else. But those who love all things skincare know that doing your morning and evening routine in the bathroom is an act of self-love. It’s a way for you to pamper yourself!

Premium skincare products are worth the splurge because of all the functional benefits they provide, like good ingredients and innovative skincare technologies.

But they have an emotional benefit too. They’re a reward you can give yourself after an exhausting day, a little treat when you deserve it. And when that luscious, silky, velvety moisturizer touches your skin when you just want to unwind, you’ll know that the splurge was worth it!

It’s important to de-stress the skin when it’s dry, tired, and congested. One way to give it a little pick-me-up is to use the best, most luxurious products you have! So, it’s important that you use skincare products that will actually get you excited to do your regimen. You deserve to spoil yourself a little!

Don’t Forget to Try Out Premium Skin Tools and Skincare Devices!

By the way! Labels that offer premium skincare products also sometimes carry luxury tools and devices designed to work well with the products under the same brand. Sure, it means you’ll be spending even more, but these tools allow you to maximize the rest of your products. This makes every penny you spent to begin with very much worth the splurge.

Premium tools and devices range from the most basic to the ultra-advanced and tech-savvy. One of our favorites is our very own 24K HD Touch, a face massager that helps you apply your serum and moisturizer more efficiently. It’s incredibly soothing, so it’s an awesome tool to use after a long day.

We also have the 24K Deep Facial Brush Set, which is awesome for your cleansing step. It has soft bristles that expertly wash away dirt and grime on the skin. It helps you create a beautiful lather with your cleanser, giving you the full experience of your luxury facial wash.

Conclusion

Your skin plays a huge role in your health and confidence, so it’s one aspect of life you shouldn’t compromise or skimp on. It deserves to stay looking luminous, glowy, and dewy, and you can do that by investing in high-quality premium skincare products.

Although they cost a lot more than the skincare products you’ll see at the drugstore, there are a lot of perks to using them. They’re not filled with harmful fillers and are actually rich in actives and botanicals that care for your skin. They’re also more innovative, thoughtfully formulated, and contain lavish ingredients, like gold!

Of course, everyone has their own personal budget when it comes to buying skincare. But if you have the extra cash to spend, we highly recommend you invest in premium skincare products that will transform how your skin looks and feels. Trust us — they’re worth the splurge!

How to Choose a Day Moisturizer: A 9-Step Checklist

Caviar Micro Bead Cream day moisturizer

When it comes to your morning skincare routine, a good day moisturizer is a must. This is a product that can single-handedly keep your skin feeling fortified and protected from all of the environmental aggressors that you encounter on a daily basis (we’re looking at you, UV rays and pollution!). At the same time, a high-quality day moisturizer will give your complexion a bouncy, healthy glow that will last you well into the evening.

So, how do you choose a quality day moisturizer that you can depend on?

OROGOLD has put together this 9-step checklist to help you with exactly that.

1. Identify Your Skin Type

Woman looking in mirror touching face

It’s absolutely vital to know your skin type before purchasing any type of skincare product. Once you know your skin type, you’ll know which ingredients your skin needs, as well as which ones you should be staying away from.

Those with dry skin need ingredients that will deeply hydrate and moisturize the skin. Look for a day moisturizer that contains plenty of rich plant oils, along with several humectants. The OROGOLD 24K Ultra Day Moisturizer is the perfect example.

This lush cream is loaded with avocado oil, hemp seed oil, peptides, sodium hyaluronate, and seaweed extract. Together, they’ll leave your skin feeling soft and dewy. The lime extract in this blend will brighten your complexion, which is something often needed by those with dull and dry skin.

On the other hand, if you have oily skin, you’ll need a day moisturizer that’s hydrating yet lightweight. Comedogenic, meaning pore clogging, ingredients should be avoided at all costs to prevent breakouts.

One formula that works well for oily and combination skin is the 24K Termica HD Solution. Infused with retinol, resveratrol, sodium hyaluronate, and cucumber extract, this formula will leave the skin looking matte and radiant. It’ll also help to brighten your complexion, lightening the appearance of any marks on your skin. This is thanks to the gold and meteorite powder that we’ve included in this cream.

2. Shop Seasonally

OROGOLD 24K Nano Ultra Silk Serum

Did you know that your skincare should change with the seasons?

Your skin’s needs vary depending on outdoor conditions. During the summer months when it’s warmer out, your skin naturally produces more sebum. This is great for people with dry skin as sebum keeps the skin moisturized. However, it’s a nightmare for those with oily skin as breakouts become so much more frequent.

So, while you may gravitate towards a thick and rich moisturizer for the winter months if you have dry skin, you’ll need something a little lighter in the summer. The same goes for those with oily skin. In fact, you may not need a cream at all during the warmer months. Instead, you could opt to use a hydrating serum as your day moisturizer. Our 24K Nano Ultra Silk Serum would work well for this!

3. Address Your Primary Skin Concerns

Day cream with cosmetic gold

While a moisturizer’s primary role is to keep the skin moisturized, modern technology means that we can now craft multi-functional day moisturizer. Here at OROGOLD, most of our moisturizing formulas offer additional benefits, with each one targeted towards specific visible skin concerns.

For example, if you’ve been trying to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, then you would benefit from a day moisturizer that contains a variety of vitamins and antioxidants.

Our 24K Multi-Vitamin Day Moisturizer + Amino Acid. As you can tell from its name, it contains a multi-vitamin blend consisting of vitamins A, C, and E. The amino acids are what your skin needs to help it look younger, while the multiple plant extracts in this blend, such as gotu kola, chamomile, and white tea leaf, provide a hefty dose of antioxidant power.

Alternatively, if your complexion could do with a brighter and lighter finish, check out OROGOLD’s very special 24K Termica Completion Cream. This day moisturizer contains licorice root extract, which fades the look of hyperpigmentation and brightens the appearance. It’s also infused with caffeine to instantly perk up the look of the skin, plus vitamin A and green tea extract to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Decide Whether You Need a Day Moisturizer With SPF

When it comes to preventing the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, and keeping the skin looking young for as long as possible, sun protection is a must. The sun is responsible for up to 80% of the visible aging that develops on the face. This means that so many of those creases could be avoided if you’re diligent about SPF.

While some prefer using a separate sunscreen product, others enjoy the convenience of a two-in-one formula. This is where the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 comes in.

This day moisturizer offers broad-spectrum sun protection. This means that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Its SPF 30 rating is the recommended amount for most skin types. Those with sensitive skin may need to use something a little higher.

However, in addition to keeping your skin shielded from visible sun damage, this day moisturizer also contains vitamins A and E to reduce the look of existing skin aging. It’s packed with aloe vera too – a classic go-to for after you’ve been spending time in the sun. Just like all other OROGOLD products, this one is also infused with 24K gold.

5. Scented or Fragrance-Free?

Termica HD Solution day moisturizer

Some skincare products are scented, while others are fragrance-free. If you have extremely sensitive skin, then you may find that fragrances cause irritation. In this case, a fragrance-free product would be best, at least until you’re able to find a fragrance that doesn’t lead to redness.

However, for everyone else, scented products can sometimes be more enjoyable to use. This is often the case when certain active ingredients are used. While they may be beneficial for your skin, they don’t smell very nice! This is why so many fragrance-free products have quite an unappealing scent.

6. Research Any Potentially Harmful Ingredients

When shopping for new beauty products, any expert will tell you that there are certain ingredients that are best avoided. Parabens and harmful alcohols are the biggest culprits. Not only can they harm your skin, but they can damage your health too.

Here at OROGOLD, all of our products are paraben-free. There are so many better alternatives out there these days that won’t harm you or your body, and so that’s what we have chosen to use.

7. Find Out More About the Brand’s History

If you’re purchasing a day moisturizer from a brand that you’re not familiar with, it always pays to do a little research first. This doesn’t mean that you need to avoid up-and-coming brands. Just make sure that the brands you’re using are trustworthy and have done their homework when it comes to creating formulas for your skin.

Here at OROGOLD, we have a fair bit of history behind us. Our brand was launched way back in 2008, and you’ll find OROGOLD stores all over the world. Our signature ingredient is gold – we love it for how it brightens, tightens, and adds radiance to the complexion, so you’ll find it in all of our products.

That said, we’ve come a long way since our early days. We’re constantly adding in new collections while updating older formulas to ensure that our customers really are getting the best of the best when they purchase products from us. We make use of cutting-edge, science-proven ingredients to transform the look of the skin.

Case in point; the OROGOLD 24K Rose Gold Advanced Cream, which is from one of our newer collections. While we already had a good selection of creams for dry skin, we wanted to create an additional one – a formula focused on leaving the skin looking bright, dewy, and bouncy.

This day moisturizer does all of that and more. The cocktail of botanical oils, which includes rose hip seed oil, deeply hydrates the skin, leaving it looking illuminated. At the same time, humectants plump the complexion up, while peptides contribute to an increase in skin moisture levels.

8. Find Out More About the Brand’s Values

Day moisturizer Termica HD Solution

With consumers placing more and more importance on a brand’s ethics and values, so many skincare companies have had to step things up. People prefer to purchase from brands that align with their own beliefs, and this is completely understandable.

Here at OROGOLD, we’ve held firm over the years when it comes to our ethics. For example, we’ve never supported animal testing – none of our formulas have been tested on animals.

We’re also very aware of the impact that we, as a skincare brand, could potentially have on the environment. As a result, our packaging is recyclable, and we try to use sustainably harvested and organic ingredients whenever possible.

9. Read Reviews

Review

So many people do their skincare shopping online these days. This opens up the world of skincare, giving you so much choice when browsing.

However, it also means that you’re often unable to sample the products that you’re interested in before handing over your hard-earned cash. Fortunately, while you may not be able to test the product out for yourself, there’s nothing stopping you from reading reviews, and these are the next best thing!

Make sure that the day moisturizer that you’re about to purchase has good reviews behind it. The more 5-stars you see, the better! Read what people have been saying about the product, so that you know whether or not it would work for your skin.

Take the OROGOLD 24K Deep Moisturizer as an example. With numerous verified five-star reviews to confirm its efficacy, it’s easy to see why this product is one of our bestsellers.

Should you be put off by products that don’t have any reviews? Not necessarily, but try to find out why that is. If it’s a new product or a new brand, then the lack of reviews is understandable.

Find the Perfect Day Moisturizer at OROGOLD

At OROGOLD, we try to make sure that we have something to offer for every skin type and concern. Whether you need a lightweight day moisturizer that’ll mattify your complexion or you’re searching for a rich and luscious formula that will soften the look of flakiness, OROGOLD has you covered.

Cosmetics With Gold: 6 Products to Transform Your Appearance

Cosmetics with gold

Intrigued by the idea of cosmetics with gold? It may sound like an extravagance, but the concept is nothing new – gold has been used for cosmetic purposes since Ancient Egyptian times, with cultures all over the world embracing its beautifying properties.

It’s a powerful multi-tasking ingredient that can address a variety of different skincare concerns, making it a popular choice for people of all ages. Once people learn more about the benefits of cosmetics with gold, it doesn’t take long for them to start looking for ways in which they can dazzle up their skincare routine with potent gold-infused formulas.

Where do you start when it comes to searching for the best gold-infused skincare products? Right here. At OROGOLD, 24K gold is at the center of each and every one of our formulas. Read on to learn why this is, and then prepare yourself to meet some of our most popular gold-laden skincare products.

Why Choose Cosmetics With Gold?

Eye masks

What’s so special about cosmetics with gold?

Well, for starters, it’s a great ingredient for minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Whether you’re dealing with frown lines on your forehead, crow’s feet at the corners of your eyes, or wrinkles around your mouth, cosmetics with gold can make those creases less visible.

It’s also a good ingredient for soothing the feel of the skin. It calms the look of inflammation and redness, leaving the complexion balanced, even, and bright.

Speaking of bright, some ingredients are known for how they lighten and brighten the appearance, and gold is one of them. Dark spots due to sun damage, hyperpigmentation from teenage acne breakouts, melasma from pregnancy – whatever may be plaguing your complexion, regularly using cosmetics with gold will leave your appearance significantly brighter.

Convinced that cosmetics with gold have a place in your skincare routine?

If so, read on. Here are some of the gold-infused products that our customers can’t get enough of:

The 24K Vitamin C Facial Booster Serum

Vitamin C facial serum

Let’s start with OROGOLD’s take on the classic vitamin C serum – a must-have in every skincare routine.

Vitamin C is loved for how it brightens and tightens the appearance, which basically supports all that gold does too. As a result, the two work in perfect harmony together, making the 24K Vitamin C Facial Booster Serum double trouble when it comes to fighting the visible signs of both aging and hyperpigmentation.

Other than its 24K gold content, there are a few other ingredients in this silky formula that help to set it apart from the many other vitamin C serums on the market.

The first is the mighty duo of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate. That’s right, this serum contains not one, but two forms of vitamin C. This means that you’ll see results much faster than if you were to use a serum with just one type of the antioxidant.

Of course, vitamin C isn’t the only kid on the block worth paying attention to. Vitamins A and E are also just as worthy, both of which have also been included in this serum. Add to that some wheat germ oil to leave your skin feeling even more fortified and strengthened and you have yourself one of the very best cosmetics with gold ever to be crafted.

The 24K Rose Gold Hydro Mask

OROGOLD Rose Gold Mask and other skin care products with gold

When you think of gold, chances are that you think of items that are actually gold in color. Or maybe gold bars or nuggets come to mind. Either way, it’s easy to forget that there are other types of gold out there, one of which is rose gold.

Here at OROGOLD, we have an entire collection dedicated to the beauty of rose gold and roses. All of the products in the collection are exquisite, but today, we’d like to draw your focus to the 24K Rose Gold Hydro Mask.

Designed to revive the look of dull and tired skin, this leave-on formula is perfect for when your complexion needs a quick pick-me-up. It’s a creamy mask that’s bursting with a curated selection of botanicals. Rose hip extract, seaweed extract, lime extract, avocado oil – this mask both feels and smells wonderfully decadent. We’ve also added in some caffeine to perk up the look of your skin, along with some sodium hyaluronate to give your complexion a plumper and smoother finish.

As mentioned, this is a leave-on mask, so you won’t have to deal with the messy aftermath that some face masks can leave you with! Instead, simply apply it onto dry but cleansed skin and massage it in. As you do so, the mask will transform into liquid droplets. Continue to massage these until your skin has soaked them up. Then, follow on with your favorite moisturizer.

The 24K Skin Tone SPF 30

OROGOLD SPF moisturizer

It’s not every day that you come across a sunscreen that contains real gold, which is what makes the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 so special. Compared to other cosmetics with gold, this one provides extra value for money because of how it not only moisturizes your skin, but also protects it from UV rays.

SPF 30 is widely recommended by dermatologists for most skin types. This means that you won’t need to apply a separate sunscreen over the top of your skin at the end of your skincare routine. Instead, this moisturizer will do that same job, plus so much more.

In addition to its UV-blocking agents (it’s a broad-spectrum formula, meaning that it’ll protect against both UVA and UVB rays), it also contains aloe vera to keep your skin looking soothed and calm, even in the sun. We’ve also added in some green tea extract, which is loaded with antioxidants that will quickly have your skin feeling more protected than ever.

Keep in mind that the UV filters in this product work in the same way as UV filters in a regular sunscreen. This means that you’ll need to apply the moisturizer at least 15 minutes before stepping into the sun. You should also reapply it every couple of hours through the day to ensure that your skin remains adequately protected.

The 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid

24 Deep Peeling

We’ve already spoken about how gold can make the complexion brighter and more radiant. So, if you want to maximize on these effects, then it only makes sense to look for cosmetics with gold designed to exfoliate the skin.

Our top choice would be the 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. It’s a facial peeling gel, which means that it works in a slightly different way from chemical and physical exfoliants. It is super gentle but incredibly effective at removing dead skin cells, which leaves behind a bright and healthy-looking glow.

It’s worth noting that, when it comes to ingredients, this product really isn’t like most other exfoliants. Not only will it exfoliate your skin, but, thanks to its vitamin content, it’ll help to reduce the visibility of skin aging too. Vitamin A will minimize the appearance of wrinkles, vitamin C will tighten the look of your skin, and vitamin E will keep your skin feeling moisturized. It really is the perfect combo!

How do you use it? It’s easy. We recommend using it once a week by applying it to dry skin. Massage it in until you feel the gel forming small clumps. Once this happens, rinse it off with cool water. You can then carry on with the rest of your skincare routine.

The 24K Neck Duo Treatment

24 Neck Duo

The neck and the chest are areas that are highly prone to premature aging. This means that you may experience neck wrinkles before they appear on your face.

What can you do about neck lines and the dreaded turkey neck?

Turn to OROGOLD’s 24K Neck Duo Treatment.

This is a two-part system that has been designed to lift and tighten the look of the neck. It’ll make any wrinkles and creases less visible, while giving your neck and chest area a firmer and smoother look.

You begin by applying the 24K NeckLift Boosting Essence, which is packed with an assortment of vitamins.

Then, follow up with the 24K NeckLift Nutri-Cream. With vitamins, plant oils, and amino acids, this cream contains everything that the skin on your neck needs to regain its youthful appearance.

For best results, we’d recommend using this product daily. Don’t forget to also protect your neck and chest area with a sunscreen each day. After all, you don’t want those UV rays to undo all of this product’s hard work!

The 24K Renewal Lip Balm

24K lip balm

When we talk about skincare, we often focus on the face and neck, but neglect to pay attention to the lips. However, the skin on the lips is just as important as the skin everywhere else on your face and body. In fact, since it’s thinner and contains very few oil glands, some would say that it’s even more fragile and therefore even more deserving of some TLC.

With the 24K Renewal Lip Balm, you can give it just that. This product will enable you to treat your pout to all of the beautifying benefits of 24K gold.

It’s also infused with several plant oils that will moisturize the feel of your lips. Jojoba, baobab, mimosa, avocado, moringa, shea…the list goes on! All of these natural oils will give your lips a plumper look and a much softer touch. They’ll feel more kissable than ever!

Are Cosmetics With Gold Worth Buying?

When it comes down to it, cosmetics with gold really do have that extra special touch that your skin would more than likely benefit from. Not only does gold offer its own array of skin-loving benefits, but it’s also a great supporting act for so many of the other must-have skincare ingredients out there, making it a worthwhile addition in any formula.

Which OROGOLD Eye Serum Would Be Best For You?

OROGOLD eye serum

Want to add an eye serum to your skincare routine but don’t know where to begin?

First of all, good choice – an eye serum, especially an OROGOLD eye serum, is a great way to give the delicate skin around your eyes a little extra TLC. The skin here is thinner and more fragile than the skin on the rest of the face, which leaves it more susceptible to damage.

Whether you have specific visible concerns around your eyes that you want to deal with or you simply want to maintain your youthful appearance for as long as possible, an OROGOLD eye serum is the way to go.

So, how do you know which OROGOLD eye serum would be best for you? It’s easy – simply ask yourself the following questions:

Do You Have Fine Lines Around Your Eyes?

OROGOLD eye serum

If fine lines or crow’s feet have started to develop around your eyes, then you need an OROGOLD eye serum that’s capable of diminishing those visible signs of aging.

For this, we’d recommend the 24K Anti-Aging Eye Serum. It contains a number of ingredients geared towards minimizing the appearance of skin aging, and this includes smoothing away the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

There are a few key ingredients in this serum worth mentioning. The first are peptides. These help to give the skin a firmer and smoother appearance when used in the long run, while boosting skin hydration at the same time. We’ve included two different peptides in this OROGOLD eye serum to enable you to really maximize on benefits.

This serum also contains a number of antioxidant-rich ingredients. These are vital when it comes to fighting the appearance of aging. From green tea extract to ginkgo biloba leaf extract, your skin will love the blend of botanicals in this formula.

Is Your Eye Area Puffy? Do You Have Dark Spots?

Eye serum

If you’ve answered “yes” to either of the above questions, then the OROGOLD 24K Intensive Eye Serum is what you need.

This silky blend contains a number of ingredients that will brighten, smooth, and tone the appearance of the skin around your eyes.

Licorice root extract is front and center. This is a popular ingredient for lightening the look of the skin. Not only will it make dark spots look less visible, but it’ll do the same for dark circles too. Its effects are enhanced even further with the inclusion of vitamin C. A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is revered for how it brightens the complexion.

We’ve also filled this formula with ingredients that’ll leave your eye area looking smooth and less puffy. From sodium hyaluronate to calendula extract to allantoin, this OROGOLD eye serum will quickly have your eye area feeling soothed, relaxed, and brighter than ever.

Is the Skin Around Your Eyes Dry and Flaky?

OROGOLD eye cream

Not only does dryness lead to flaky skin, which is super annoying to deal with, but it provides a double whammy by also making fine lines and wrinkles so much more noticeable. So, in many cases, if you want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, simply replenishing your dryness is all you need to do.

If this is the case, then an OROGOLD eye serum may not be enough. Sure, all of our eye serums contain several moisturizing ingredients, but serums are designed to be lightweight in nature. Uber dry skin needs a richer and thicker formula in order to provide it with that extra layer of moisture. So, in addition to slathering on an eye serum, make it a habit to layer an eye cream over the top too.

Our favorite is the OROGOLD 24K Intensive Eye Formula Cream. It feels ultra decadent when applied to the skin yet it absorbs quickly. That said, it still leaves the skin feeling deeply hydrated and super-soft for hours after application.

What’s in it?

In addition to a multi-peptide blend, which is capable of doing wonders for dry-feeling skin, it also contains jojoba oil, aloe vera, and olive oil to provide a big punch of moisture. This is combined with caffeine, which will deal with the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, leaving your eye area looking smooth, even, soft, and bright.

Are You Hoping for Instant Results?

Wrinkle filler

When it comes to reducing the visible effects of skin aging, you need to be in it for the long haul. It takes time to produce those noticeable changes, so whichever OROGOLD eye serum you pick, you need to be committed to.

That said, there’s nothing quite like some instant gratification once in a while. Say you have a special event coming up and you want to mask the appearance of the deep crow’s feet around your eyes, is your only option to pile on the makeup?

Fortunately, no. Here at OROGOLD, we wanted to provide an alternative, which is where the 24K Rose Gold IV Filler Concentrate comes in.

This exquisite serum can be used around the eyes as well as on the rest of the face. Simply apply one to two pumps of the product directly onto each wrinkle and watch as they become less visible.

How does it work?

Its fast-acting effects are all thanks to a few key ingredients, namely DMAE, acetyl hexapeptide-8, and sodium hyaluronate.

However, you’ll also find several other ingredients in this formula that help to improve the appearance in the long term too. Vitamins A and E, grape seed extract, cucumber fruit extract, squalane – all of these will help to diminish the appearance of the wrinkles around your eyes if you use them regularly.

How Often Should You Use Your OROGOLD Eye Serum?

Now that you know which OROGOLD eye serum you need, how often should you be using it?

This all depends on the formula. Every OROGOLD product that you purchase will come with usage directions. If you lose these, you’ll find them on our website – just click over to the product page.

In most cases, our eye serums are safe to be used twice a day. However, due to the potency of some of the ingredients within, we’d recommend building up to this slowly. Start with a patch test. Then, if your skin doesn’t react, introduce it to your routine at night, 2-3 times a week. Then, bump this up to daily use. After this, you can start adding it to your morning skincare routine too.

While you don’t have to use it twice a day, this is what’s recommended in order to ensure fast results.

Where Does an Eye Serum Fit Into Your Skincare Routine?

24K Cleanser

So, where exactly does your OROGOLD eye serum fit into the rest of your skincare routine?

Well, it goes without saying that cleansing should always be your very first step. Our Vitamin C Facial Cleanser is a popular choice. Infused with vitamin C and 24K gold, plus several hydrating compounds to leave your skin feeling smooth and bouncy post-cleanse, this formula is ideal for prepping your skin to receive your OROGOLD eye serum.

For even better results, follow your cleanser up with a toner. Brimming with cucumber extract and aloe vera juice, the OROGOLD 24K Purifying Toner would be a good choice!

After this, you’re ready to apply your eye serum. We’ll explain exactly how to do this in more detail below. Give your OROGOLD eye serum a minute or two to soak into your skin.

Once you’re done, you can continue on with the rest of your skincare routine. Your face serum comes next, followed by your face moisturizer. If you’re following this routine in the morning, then don’t forget to top things off with some sunscreen before stepping out of the house.

The Best Way to Apply Your OROGOLD Eye Serum

Sure, you can just haphazardly slap your eye serum on and hope for the best. Or, you could follow this pro-recommended technique for encouraging your skin to soak up as much product as possible:

  • Dispense one pump of your OROGOLD eye serum onto the ring finger of one of your hands
  • Press this against the ring finger on your other hand to distribute the product evenly between the two
  • Gently press the product into your eye socket, starting at the inner corners of your eyes
  • Keep going until you reach your temples/the outer corners of your eyes. If your skin has already absorbed all of the serum, then you may want to consider repeating those steps with a second pump of product. Alternatively, follow up with an eye cream

Wondering why we’re recommending that you use your ring finger to apply your OROGOLD eye serum, rather than any other finger?

It’s because the ring finger is the weakest of all of our fingers. This means that you won’t be tempted to press too hard or tug at the delicate skin around the eyes, making the ring finger perfect for this fragile area.

Taking Things High-Tech

Eye Wand

If you’d like to add some extra oomph to your skincare routine, then consider combining your OROGOLD eye serum with the Jelessi Photonix-2 Jade Eye Wand. Designed to enhance the performance and visible results of topical serums, this skincare device is fitted with LED lights that will play their own part in reducing the appearance of aging around your eyes.

Not only will this device help to give your eye area a firmer and smoother look in the long run, but it’ll also add an instant radiance and glow to your appearance each time you use it. Trust us, you’ll soon be hooked!

Can You Use Your OROGOLD Eye Serum on the Rest of Your Face?

While there’s nothing wrong with using your OROGOLD eye serum on the rest of your face, keep in mind that the results may not be as dramatic as what you’ll see around your eyes. Eye serums are formulated specifically for the delicate eye area. This means that they may not be potent enough for the skin on the rest of your face.

That said, eye serums are also loved for their hyper-targeted makeup. If you’re dealing with the appearance of puffiness, discoloration, wrinkles, or anything else on your face that your eye serum has been designed to tackle, then, by all means, use it as a spot treatment.

Summary

Hopefully, we’ve now made it much easier for you to decide which OROGOLD eye serum to purchase. As you can see, each one is designed to target different skin concerns, so knowing the sort of results that you’re hoping to experience greatly narrows down your options. Whichever you choose, you can be confident in the fact that you’re purchasing a high-quality skincare product made with only the best of ingredients – your skin will thank you!

A 7-Step Body Care Routine for a Radiant Glow

Woman applying lotion to legs

When it comes to skincare, a lot of people don’t think about caring for the skin on their bodies. While your face might require a little extra TLC, it’s also important to make sure you’re not neglecting everything else.

Fortunately, a solid body care routine is much the same as your facial skincare — with a few minor tweaks here and there. If you want to know what’s the best body care routine for a radiant glow, OROGOLD is here to tell you all about it!

Our skincare products are infused with the finest ingredients that the beauty world has to offer. As a little nugget, we’ll be recommending some of our top body care products along the way so you can get the results you need! Here are 7 body care steps to make your skin glow: 

Exfoliate

OROGOLD gold scrub for body

Exfoliation is a necessary part of a good body care routine. So, don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise!

Exfoliating your skin has numerous benefits for improving its overall look and feel. Although your body does exfoliate roughly every 28 days, the process gradually depletes as you age. This often leaves your skin with built-up oil, makeup particles, and debris from your surroundings. Exfoliation removes the dead, dull cells from the top layer of your skin, ridding it of all dirt and debris. It’ll reveal a fresh new layer of skin underneath, giving you a more radiant complexion.

This step in your skincare routine will also help minimize the look of pores and diminish the visibility of aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, sag, and hyperpigmentation.

We’ve got a sensational scrub for you to try out the next time you exfoliate. Our 24K Classic Body Scrub will bring the spa to your home with its sensational formula! It’s infused with rich botanical extracts, including aloe vera, sunflower seed, cucumber fruit, dragon’s blood, and chamomile! These work sensationally to moisturize your skin and enhance its overall look.

The gentle exfoliating blend also incorporates vitamin E and gold for a true luxury skincare experience. This exquisite body scrub will pamper your skin while gently exfoliating it, leaving it feeling velvety soft and smooth! Experience an invigorating sense of renewal with this sensational scrub.

How to Exfoliate Your Body

For the best results, we recommend using our scrub in the shower, so your skin is soft and wet before scrubbing. To apply, take a generous amount and spread it across your skin. You can use a damp washcloth or an exfoliating brush as well. These will help you easily brush away the top layer of your skin. Make sure you don’t use anything abrasive as it can lead to tears in your skin, damaging it in the long run.

Massage gently in circular motions with minimum pressure. Do this for roughly 30 seconds and then rinse off with warm water.

It’s important to note that exfoliating your body shouldn’t be a daily step as too much can be bad for your skin. If you have oily, acne-prone skin, it’s good to exfoliate twice a week. However, if your skin is on the dry side, exfoliating once a week should suffice.

Wash Yourself

There is an ongoing debate about whether you should exfoliate or clean yourself first. We’re here to tell you that neither one is wrong. There are pros associated with both, so you can decide for yourself how you want to approach these two steps.

Cleansing First

Cleansing yourself first before you exfoliate is a great way to start; it gives you a clean slate. As you cleanse your skin from residual dirt and debris, following with exfoliation helps to really get into those pores!

Exfoliating First

On the other hand, by ridding your skin of dead cells and excess oil first, you allow your cleanser to work its magic more effectively afterward. If you prefer this way, it’s better to use physical exfoliation rather than chemical to help give your skin a smooth texture and a bright look! Just make sure that you don’t use anything for your body that might cause irritation, as exfoliation tends to leave your skin dry and sensitive.

Tone

24K toner is a great way to treat yourself

After these two steps, it’s important to tone your skin. You might have just heard of toning for the face, but it’s an essential part of body care as well.

Toners that don’t contain any alcohol not only help keep your skin feeling balanced, but also help nurture it. They work to protect your skin’s natural moisture barrier, keeping it feeling dewy and hydrated!

In addition, toners infused with rich ingredients — aloe vera, chamomile, witch hazel water, cucumber fruit, and high-potency AHAs like lactic acid and glycolic acid — work well to diminish the look of hyperpigmented skin.

Don’t yet have a toner that you love? Give our 24K Purifying Toner a try! It feels ultra-refreshing and will leave your skin looking beautifully glowy.

Throw in a Mask

OG Hand Mask

Masks are a great way to help diminish the look of skin concerns, including acne, chronically dry skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. They aren’t just for the face; they should also be included as part of a body care routine. Body masks tend to come in large containers so they can be spread across your arms, legs, buttocks, chest, hands, and feet.

For your hands, we’ve got an exquisite mask that will make your skin glow! Our 24K Multi-Vitamin Hand Mask features an exquisite, gold-infused blend of beautifying oils, including jojoba and sunflower seed, as well as vitamin A palmitate to diminish the visibility of aging skin.

The formula also encompasses bentonite, Dead Sea mud, and vitamin E acetate to deeply moisturize, purify, and enhance the look of your hands. Among rich botanical extracts, you’ll find maidenhair, sage, ivy, aloe vera, and white birch — an enriching blend for enhancing the complexion’s tone and texture.

We’re confident that our 24K Multi-Vitamin Hand Mask will leave your hands looking irresistibly smooth and moisturized. To use, apply the formula evenly to clean, dry hands. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse off with cool water.

Hydrate

What’s the difference between moisturizing and hydrating?

Moisturizing helps your skin retain moisture by sealing it in. On the other hand, hydrating formulas help increase your skin’s overall hydration levels. If your skin is dehydrated, you need to have a hydrator in your daily body care routine to take care of it! Remember; anyone can have dehydrated skin regardless of their skin type. The tell-tale signs of dehydrated skin include:

  • A dull and lackluster complexion
  • More visible fine lines and wrinkles
  • Dark undereye circles
  • Itchiness

If you experience these, your skin is likely dehydrated. Hydrating formulas are designed to help increase your skin’s water levels, refreshing and uplifting your whole look. 

OROGOLD has a sensational 24K Hydrating Body Mist that’s bound to become your go-to for dehydrated skin! This lightly-scented essence will give your skin a refreshed and renewed feel. The formula infuses green tea leaf and sunflower seed extracts to help enhance your skin’s natural moisture and keep it sealed. These ingredients also help reduce the look of puffiness, discoloration, and damage.

The mist also includes vitamin E, which possesses exceptional hydrating properties and also helps to diminish the visibility of aging. To use, just spray the mist lightly all over your body. Make sure to avoid your face and eye area.

Moisturize

OROGOLD body butter

Moisturizing your body is a very important step, regardless of whether you exfoliate or not. Showering can leave your skin dry just like exfoliation does. Moisturizers play an integral role in helping our skin maintain its healthy glow!

It’s important to choose the right moisturizer for your skin type. If you have oily skin, go for a non-comedogenic lotion or gel-based formula. For dry skin, you need to choose body care butters and rich creams.

You might want to take a close look at our 24K Classic Body Butter for dry, parched skin. This gold-infused, creamy, all-over-body moisturizer is formulated with a blend of rich ingredients to give you velvety soft skin.

The formula is infused with sunflower seed oil and aloe vera leaf juice, which work to relieve dryness and diminish the appearance of puffy, red skin. The rich formula also infuses organic chamomile and marigold flower extracts to diminish the appearance of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, sag, and discoloration. We’re confident that after using this rich cream, your skin will feel silky smooth all day long!

If you’re looking for a similar option for your face, do check out our 24K Deep Moisturizer! This non-greasy, gold-infused cream incorporates vitamins C and E along with rich botanical extracts to pamper your skin like never before. In the formula, you’ll find shea butter, which offers deep moisturizing results for your skin while rejuvenating its look completely! It also infuses white tea leaf, Gotu kola, and chamomile, which help improve your skin’s appearance by keeping it hydrated and diminishing the visibility of aging.

Give your skin a satin-smooth look with our multi-tasking cream that promises a deluxe experience in a bottle!

Use Sunscreen

Don’t forget to put on a generous amount of sunscreen before stepping outside! But should you apply your sunscreen at the end, on top of all your other skincare products, or earlier?

This depends on what type of sunscreen you use; physical or chemical. Chemical sunscreens are formulated with active chemical ingredients that function by penetrating your skin and absorbing the sun’s harmful UV rays.

On the contrary, physical sunscreens work by forming a barrier between the skin and the harmful UV rays, diverting them away from your skin. They contain mineral ingredients that rest on top of your skin and never penetrate it. So, chemical sunscreens should be applied before moisturizing, so they can enter your skin, while physical sunscreens should be applied at the end of your body care routine.

Pamper Your Body the Right Way with OROGOLD’s Body Care Products

This body care routine is destined to help you get the glowing skin you’ve always been looking for. All of these steps are not set in stone as everyday essentials, e.g., you don’t need to exfoliate or use a body mask more than twice a week. As for the other steps, it’s good body care practice to make them a part of your daily routine. You’re bound to notice great results in just a few weeks!

The Vitamin C Facial Serum That Everyone Should Be Using

Vitamin C facial serum

At the heart of every skincare junkie’s daily beauty routine is their favorite facial serum. It’s one of those steps that don’t feel as “basic” as cleanser and moisturizer, and it’s packed with all kinds of vitamins and potent botanicals your skin loves.

There are many kinds of facial serums, from hydrating hyaluronic acid serums to sebum-blasting niacinamide treatments. But among all these wonderful, skin-loving serums in the skincare family, why does it seem like the good old vitamin C facial serum is forever the favorite child?

Vitamin C is a holy grail for many people. It’s a terrific way to elevate your routine and add a bit of extra glow to your complexion. But what’s the best vitamin C facial serum out there?

Today, OROGOLD will put the spotlight on our very own bestselling serum — the 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum. We’ll get into what it does for your skin, how to incorporate it into your routine, and even how to store it properly. Let’s jump right into it!

Why are Vitamin C Serums so Popular Anyway?

OROGOLD gold 24k serum

There are many ways to treat your skin to some vitamin C. It comes in capsules, tablets, and even IV drops. But the most popular way to give your complexion its daily dose of this beloved vitamin is through a luxurious facial serum. That way, you apply it topically and deliver it straight to your skin.

It feels like everyone and their mother has a dark amber bottle of the stuff sitting somewhere on their skincare shelf. These tiny bottles are packed with tons of benefits for the skin. It’s a quick, easy way to pamper your skin and give yourself a little extra self-love. But what are these benefits to begin with?

To better understand what vitamin C can do for your skin, it’s important to know what it is in the first place. In a nutshell, vitamin C is an antioxidant, and that’s a must for skin that’s starting to age and mature. 

Another key benefit of vitamin C is that it helps fade the appearance of dark spots due to hyperpigmentation and aging. So, if you want a blemish-free appearance, vitamin C is your guy.

Feast Your Eyes on the 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum

But not all vitamin C serums are created equal. While one may be potent and rich in other botanicals and vitamins to improve your skin’s appearance, others may be watered down and filled to the brim with fillers.

When choosing a vitamin C facial serum, it’s important to discern which formula is best. Take a look at the list of ingredients, concentration level, and whether it comes from a trusted, renowned brand.

One you can never go wrong with is the OROGOLD 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum. Not only is it formulated with high-quality vitamin C to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging, but it’s also enriched with other skin-loving ingredients to address more skin concerns simultaneously.

It’s infused with the likes of vitamin A and wheat germ oil to take the usual vitamin C facial serum to the next level. But one of its most unique inclusions is luxurious, decadent gold — OROGOLD’s signature ingredient.

In a nutshell, this serum contains gold-standard vitamin C while giving you a more luxurious skincare experience by beefing it up with other effective ingredients. It’s a vitamin C facial serum that everyone should be using!

It Helps Minimize the Look of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

If you’re worried about losing that youthful firmness in your skin in the next few years, you might want to consider including this serum in your routine.

Vitamin C is known to reduce the look of wrinkles in aging skin. This is why people in their thirties and late twenties clamor to add a vitamin C facial serum to their routine pronto.

But that’s not all. The OROGOLD vitamin C facial serum is infused with vitamin A, also known as retinol. This is yet another ingredient that helps keep the look of fine lines and wrinkles at bay, giving you a smooth, taut complexion for longer.

Of course, it can be difficult to instantly reduce the look of wrinkles on your skin. But using a vitamin C facial serum like this is a great place to start. Gradually, you’ll notice that your skin looks a little smoother every day, until your wrinkles are hardly noticeable anymore.

However, this benefit isn’t just for those with wrinkles already. We also highly recommend this serum for those in their twenties even if they don’t have any visible wrinkles yet. Prevention is the best cure, and this vitamin C facial serum will be your partner in keeping those visible deep lines away.

It Aids in Brightening the Complexion

You can get stubborn dark spots on your skin for many reasons. They can appear due to skin aging, active breakouts that you exposed a little too long to the sun, or just a regular bout of hyperpigmentation. Whatever the cause, getting rid of these spots can be challenging.

If you’ve been trying to find a way to fade the visibility of dark spots on your face, look no further. This is yet another tremendous benefit of our vitamin C facial serum — zapping away the appearance of those dark spots to make them look less noticeable. This leaves your skin’s appearance more even-toned.

The sun’s UV rays are one big culprit of pesky dark spots and acne scars. That makes it a summer must-have in your skincare routine, since you’re out and about under the sun more often.

But what’s awesome about this serum is that it doesn’t just brighten the look of your skin with vitamin C. It also uses colloidal gold to add extra radiance to your complexion’s overall look.

Gold has plenty of uses for the skin. That’s why it’s been used for centuries by the likes of ancient empresses in Asia and even Cleopatra herself. But one benefit of gold that we feel goes hand in hand with vitamin C is that it helps brighten the appearance of skin, giving you a natural, beaming glow.

When is the Proper Time to Use This Serum in Your Routine?

OROGOLD Vitamin C Collection

You can use this vitamin C facial serum day or night — even both if that’s what you prefer. Whatever time of the day you use it, the right way to incorporate it into your existing routine is pretty much the same.

Start by washing your face. It’s always important to use your favorite cleanser to get rid of all the grime and dirt on your skin first before using your vitamin C serum. That way, your skin can absorb more of it without unnecessary barriers.

So, freshen up by using the OROGOLD 24K Vitamin C Facial Cleanser as a first step. This gentle cleanser is designed to thoroughly remove dirt and debris on your skin without stripping it of moisture. In fact, it’s infused with aloe, calendula, and other botanicals to leave your skin feeling hydrated after rinsing.

Then, follow up with the OROGOLD 24K Purifying Toner. Thinner, more watery formulas should always go first in a routine, so toner goes on before the vitamin C serum.

This toner is super invigorating, thanks to its refreshing ingredients. It has aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile extracts, and opulent gold to wake up the skin and prep it for the next step.

So remember — wash your face to get rid of sweat and dirt, and then pack on your thinner skincare products. Only then can you apply the vitamin C facial serum all over your face. Add a few drops to your face and massage gently into your skin to help it absorb the formula.

Don’t Forget to Lock That Vitamin C in With a Moisturizer

Day cream with cosmetic gold

But hold on — you’re not quite finished yet! You don’t want all that vitamin C goodness to escape from your skin, right? So, it’s important to always follow up with a high-quality moisturizer after the serum. That way, you can lock in all the ingredients from the serum into your skin.

Plus, the moisturizer helps bring back that smooth, silky, touchable finish on your skin after the cleansing and serum steps.

During the day, go for a light, non-greasy formula, like the OROGOLD 24K Multi-Vitamin Day Moisturizer + Amino Acid. It’s infused with shea butter, chamomile, white tea, and more to replenish your skin with hydration, leaving it soft and dewy for the day.

At night, you want to look for something a little richer and more moisturizing. We recommend trying out the OROGOLD 24K Deep Moisturizer, designed especially for nighttime.

Thanks to shea butter, vitamin E, and tons of botanical extracts, this night cream smoothens the skin, leaving it feeling velvety and looking plump and bouncy when you wake up the next morning.

Slather on the Sunscreen if You Use it in the Morning

Oh, and one last thing. If you’re using your vitamin C facial serum in the morning, make sure you slather on that SPF. The biggest difference between your morning and night skincare routines is that you’ll be more exposed to the sun during the day. So, sun protection is non-negotiable.

Studies have shown that combining sunscreen and vitamin C protects your skin more from the sun’s harsh rays, which can cause wrinkles and hyperpigmentation in the long run. So, always pair them together during the daytime.

The OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 is an excellent choice if you need a new sunscreen. It’s lightweight and never greasy. It sits very comfortably on the skin as the last step before putting on your makeup.

This formula shields your skin from the sun thanks to active ingredients like octinoxate and homosalate. But at the same time, it also leaves the skin softer and more glowy in appearance, thanks to aloe, gold, camellia extracts, and more.

How to Safely Store Your Vitamin C Facial Serum

Vitamin C products

Now that you know how to use our vitamin C facial serum in your daily routine, you must learn how to store it, too. Letting your vitamin C serum casually sit in a hot place where the rays of the sun can reach it will spell disaster for you and your skin, so make sure not to skip this part!

Unlike your toners and moisturizers, you can’t just leave your serum to sit anywhere. Vitamin C is prone to oxidation, which renders the formula useless and ineffective. So, it needs to always be put in a cool, dark place that doesn’t get hit by direct sunlight.

A skincare fridge would be an ideal place to put it. But you can always use your regular fridge in the kitchen, too.

By storing it the right way, you can extend the lifespan of your vitamin C serum, allowing you more time to enjoy all its skin-loving benefits. If your serum is looking extra dark and almost orangey-brown, it means it’s time to toss it and get yourself a fresh, new bottle.

Conclusion

We have lots of facial serums in the OROGOLD collections — so much so that it can sometimes be difficult to choose which one to try out. But our beloved, bestselling vitamin C facial serum will always be a staple in our most loyal customers’ skincare arsenal.

Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient that we foresee will be a cult favorite for years to come. It’s great for eliminating the look of wrinkles and fine lines and diminishing the harsh appearance of dark spots. So, any vitamin C facial serum will likely do wonders for the skin.

But the 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum takes this youthful glow to the next level by adding in other OROGOLD signature ingredients, like vitamin A and lavish gold. It’s the vitamin C serum you definitely can’t afford to sleep on if you want a smooth, radiant, even-toned complexion.

Summer Skincare: Adapting Your Routine to Beat the Heat

Woman in summer

Balmy temperatures, lying under a palm tree with glowing skin that looks dewy and radiant – that’s the summer skincare dream. However, for most of us, the reality is a little different…

As soon as temperatures start to warm up, everything from clogged pores to dark spots to sunburns often takes over. The heat, humidity, and powerful UV rays, coupled with the fact that we tend to spend more time outdoors during the summer months, aren’t doing your skin any favors.

Fortunately, you don’t have to be battling those summertime skin woes forever. Instead, stick with us at OROGOLD as we share our top summer skincare tips for keeping your complexion looking fresh, radiant, and smooth all season long.

Power Up Your SPF

Woman with summer skin care SPF

First things first; sun protection. We always stress how important it is to protect your skin from UV rays year-round. They’re there in the winter, they’re there on cloudy days, and they even make it into your skin when you’re sheltered behind a window. The result of all of that UV damage? Fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and even skin cancer.

While UV rays are always around, they cause their worst damage during the summer months. So, while you should be wearing SPF throughout the year, you need to be extra diligent about this as soon as you start to feel the sun’s heat.

SPF 30 is sufficient for most people. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to go for something a little higher in your summer skincare routine. Either way, make sure that it offers broad-spectrum protection – this will protect you from both UVA and UVB rays.

To really power up your sun protection game, look for a formula that incorporates antioxidant-rich botanicals. For example, green tea extract contains polyphenols that leave the skin feeling even more protected from the sun. At the same time, it helps to reduce the appearance of sun damage that’s already apparent on your skin, making this a fantastic ingredient to add to a sunscreen.

One sunscreen formula that offers both SPF 30 and green tea extract is the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30. It’s also infused with aloe vera extract to leave your skin feeling soothed and refreshed.

Lighten Up

OROGOLD cleanser, toner, and moisturizer for summer skincare

The heat and humidity of the summer months trigger the skin’s sebaceous glands into producing more oil. If you pile heavy skincare products over the top of all of this excess sebum, you’ll end up with clogged pores, followed by inflammation and acne.

To avoid this, you should always go with lighter skincare formulas in the summer. Take a look at the various products in your skincare routine and try to find lighter versions.

For example, swap your thick cream cleanser for a refreshing mousse cleanser, such as the OROGOLD 24K Mousse Cleanser. It creates a gentle but satisfying lather that will remove any excess shine from your skin without leaving your skin feeling dry.

Take a look at the moisturizer that you’re using too. While shea butter and cocoa butter may feel super pampering during the dry winter months, your summer skincare moisturizer should feature lightweight humectants that won’t weigh your skin down.

The 24K Termica HD Solution is a great example of an amazing summer skin care cream. This lightweight formula is infused with sodium hyaluronate to hydrate your skin. It also contains several botanical extracts to brighten and illuminate your complexion. Cucumber, chamomile, green tea, coral seaweed – they all come together in this silky cream to give your skin a matte and rejuvenated finish. Perfect for all of your summertime selfies!

Cool Down

The heat over the summer months can sometimes feel unbearable. If the skin on your body could do with a cool down, turn your attention to the 24K Hydrating Body Mist from OROGOLD.

Give your body a few spritzes of this silky spray and your skin will feel soothed and refreshed. Even better, it’ll take on a luminous glow too, thanks to the plant extracts and vitamin E in this formula.

If your skin has been feeling dry or damaged and you want to double up on the hydration, then apply a soothing body cream immediately after spritzing your body with the mist. Our top choice would be the 24K Classic Body Butter. It’s usually a go-to in the winter months, but it’s ideal for helping to soothe the feel of skin that has been irritated by sun exposure.

If you’d prefer a lighter way to give your body some extra hydration, our 24K Classic Hand & Body Cream is a good solution. Although lighter in texture than the body butter, this cream still feels ultra-hydrating when applied. It’s infused with lightweight plant oils to lock moisture into the skin, along with chamomile extract to leave the skin feeling soothed and calm.

Invest in Vitamin C

Just like sunscreen, vitamin C is another ingredient that we recommend using throughout the year. However, if you haven’t already started doing so, then your summer skincare routine would be the perfect way to add it in.

What makes vitamin C so important?

It’s a powerful antioxidant that can reduce the appearance of sun-damaged skin. This means that the visibility of those fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots that have developed due to your teenage years of lounging under the sun without wearing SPF can finally start to fade if you introduce a good vitamin C product into your summer skincare routine. Even more importantly, your skin won’t start to look worse after yet another year of UV damage.

Fortunately, more and more people are starting to recognize the importance of vitamin C. As a result, it’s no surprise that the 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum is one of OROGOLD’s bestsellers.

We’ve infused this silky serum with two forms of vitamin C to give you double the benefits. It also contains vitamin A and vitamin E, two ingredients that help to enhance the visible effects of vitamin C while also bringing a heap of benefits of their own. And, as with all OROGOLD products, you’ll also find 24K gold in this formula.

Don’t Forget About Your Eyes

Eye serum

We’ve shared a fantastic vitamin C serum for the face, but what about the skin around your eyes? This area is so much thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of your face. While it still needs vitamin C, this powerful ingredient needs to be formulated in a way that won’t irritate or damage the fragile skin around your eyes.

This is where the 24K Intensive Eye Serum comes in. It contains vitamin C at its core, in the form of ascorbic acid. While this pure form of vitamin C may seem highly potent for the eye area, any negative effects are combated by the addition of green tea, aloe, ginkgo, and calendula extracts. These botanicals leave the skin feeling fortified and soothed, allowing the vitamin C to get to work.

That said, there’s more to this serum than vitamin C, which is what makes it so perfect for summer skincare.

It also contains a multi-peptide blend. Peptides are a powerhouse at keeping the skin feeling moisturized and strengthened. When used over time, they bring a firmer and smoother look to the skin.

In this eye serum, we’ve combined peptides with sodium hyaluronate. This humectant has moisture-binding properties that’ll give your eye area a plumper and brighter look.

To pamper this area even more, layer an eye cream over your eye serum. The 24K Intensive Eye Formula Cream pairs perfectly with the 24K Intensive Eye Serum, giving your delicate skin some extra love.

Amp Up Your Exfoliation Game

24K Deep Peeling

While your skin feels more vulnerable during the harsh winter months, it generally feels stronger and more resilient in the summer. This is partly down to the extra oils that it produces in the heat.

While that’s great in one way, those extra oils can quickly clog up the pores and trigger breakouts. Nobody wants to be dealing with summertime spots, which can affect people of any age.

So, to counter this, consider increasing how often you exfoliate. This is especially important if you have oily or acne-prone skin.

That extra exfoliation session will help to ensure that your pores remain feeling clear and clean. Preventing any blockages will help to keep your skin looking blemish-free all summer long.

Of course, over-exfoliation can be an issue too. So, go with a gentle formula. Swap your winter scrub for a lighter chemical exfoliant during the summer. Our favorite summer skincare exfoliant is the 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid.

Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that’s derived from almonds. It effectively removes dead skin cells, but does so in a way that’s so much gentler than some of the other alpha hydroxy acids out there.

This peeling gel also contains several of the must-have summer skincare ingredients that we’ve already mentioned, from vitamin C to green tea extract to vitamin E. It has also been infused with jojoba oil to moisturize your skin while you exfoliate, ensuring that your skin won’t feel irritated afterward.

Treat Your Skin to a Weekly Mask

OROGOLD Nano Mask

Your skin has a lot to deal with during the summer. If you really want it to look and feel its best, then you need to give it a little TLC every now and then.

One great way to do so is with a face mask, and it’ll only take 10-15 minutes out of your day.

Here at OROGOLD, we have a few summer skincare masks that are ideal for bestowing the skin with some special attention. The 24K Nano Hydra Silk Mask is one example. This formula is all about keeping the skin looking plump and radiant. It contains vitamin E, sodium hyaluronate, and acai fruit extract, all of which play an important part in summer skincare.

What makes this product feel even more soothing in the summer is how it’s applied. It starts off as a creamy formula but as you massage it into your skin, it turns into droplets. Massage these into your skin and your skin will feel touchably soft and silky.

Summer Skincare With OROGOLD

Here at OROGOLD, we have so many different options when it comes to summer skincare. No matter your age, your skin type, or the skin concerns you’re dealing with, we’re here to help ensure that your skin truly looks and feels its very best throughout the summer months.

How to Fade the Visibility of Dark Spots on Your Face

Woman with even skin after using deep peeling products

Do you struggle with hyperpigmented skin?

A specific compound in our skin, melanin, is responsible for giving our skin, eyes, and hair their natural color. And the more melanin your body produces, the darker the color.

Hyperpigmentation occurs as a result of the over-production of melanin in some parts of the skin, causing them to appear in a darker hue. These dark spots are not typically a cause for concern, but they can make the face look patchy and uneven.

And that’s what OROGOLD is here to help you with! Today, we’ll be discussing how to fade the visibility of dark spots on the skin, so that you can enjoy an even and bright appearance once again.

Deep Peeling Treatments

24K Deep Peeling

Have you tried exfoliating your skin to fade the look of dark spots? We’re not talking about scrubs; those are physical exfoliants. Although they might help too, chemical exfoliants are known to work on a deeper level within your skin. Hence the term “deep peeling.” So, you’re bound to notice better results with the latter.

If you’re new to the world of chemical exfoliants and deep peeling solutions, don’t worry because we’ve got it covered! Unlike physical exfoliants that rely on rubbing off dead cells, chemical exfoliants work by loosening the bonds between the cells. These formulas incorporate acids and enzymes to break down the sugars and proteins holding the dead cells together in the upper layer of the skin. This way, there are no abrasive techniques involved.

Deep peeling treatments work exceptionally well for alleviating the look of acne, fine lines, and wrinkles. They can smooth out the appearance of your skin’s texture and tone, giving it a vibrant glow! And that’s just scratching the surface; there are a whole host of benefits that chemical peels offer. Getting rid of dead cells via chemical exfoliation can help your skin absorb your spot treatments and serums better, making them much more effective.

But let’s move on to the most common acids you’d find in your deep peeling solutions. Basically, there are three types of chemical peels: superficial, medium-depth, and deep peeling. Superficial peels only penetrate your skin’s outer layer, medium-depth peels work on the entire epidermis, and deep peeling solutions work on the mid-reticular dermis.

What’s in a Deep Peeling Product?

Glycolic acid is among the most common AHAs used to make a deep peeling solution. Its molecules are the smallest-sized ones when compared to other AHAs. This makes it easy for glycolic acid to absorb into your skin and exfoliate it better. This acid works by dissolving the “glue” that holds dead, darkened skin cells.

But if you feel like your skin is a little too sensitive to deal with the drying effects that glycolic acid can have, mandelic acid should be your go-to! The chemical is derived from bitter almonds and has the largest molecules compared to all other AHAs. But what does that mean for your skin? It means mandelic acid penetrates your skin slowly, without leading to any irritation. Mandelic acid is a premium skincare ingredient when it comes to diminishing the look of acne, and it also works wonders for fading the visibility of dark spots on your face!

OROGOLD’s 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling

24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling (white bottle)

OROGOLD has just the right deep peeling in store for you! Take a close look at our 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling formula; the key to a perfectly balanced and healthy-looking complexion. The gel-like formula is enriched with vitamins A, C, and E, mandelic acid, and bamboo stem powder to gently remove dead cells from your skin.

The formula also includes botanical extracts like organic coconut oil and green tea. Green tea extract is reported to help fade away the look of dark spots when it’s applied to the skin. It can aid in diminishing the appearance of melasma while also reducing the appearance of puffy skin and acne scars. Our 24K deep peeling solution will leave your skin looking luminous and refreshed!

The 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid

We’ve also got another sensational deep peeling exfoliant for dark spots. Our 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid solution features a powerful exfoliating gel that has a deep peeling effect on your skin.

It’s especially beneficial for sensitive skin as it gives you all the results you want from your deep peeling solution without irritating. With superior skincare ingredients like bamboo stem powder, vitamins A, C, and E, and jojoba esters, our 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid solution is the perfect way to achieve an even-toned, glowing complexion!

Incorporate These Essential Vitamins Into Your Routine

Vitamins play a powerful role in keeping us happy and healthy. And that doesn’t just go for our body. Vitamins have sensational topical benefits that can keep your skin looking healthy and fresh.

There are many vitamins that play a key role in lightening the skin, thereby reducing the look of dark spots. But the top three that we’d recommend are vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E. You can incorporate vitamins in the form of cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and exfoliants. But how do they help fade the visibility of dark spots?

  • Vitamin A (the family of retinoids) is known to enhance your complexion’s tone and texture by diminishing the appearance of photoaging. It works exceptionally well if you have dark spots as a result of acne.
  • Vitamin C is another great skincare ingredient because of how it can help brighten the look of dark spots on your skin left behind as a result of pimples. It also works great to reduce the look of melasma and sun spots.
  • Vitamin E has a wide range of uses when applied to the skin. It helps to reduce the look of age spots, dull skin, and discoloration. It’s also been widely incorporated into skincare for lightening the look of acne scars, making your skin appear brighter.

The 24K Vitamin C Booster Serum

Vitamin C serum

Our 24K Vitamin C Booster Serum is a great formula to help you reduce the look of dark spots.

This opulent solution is enriched with two forms of Vitamin C; Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and Ascorbyl Palmitate, as well as Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E).

These ingredients work wonderfully to smooth the look of wrinkles and fine lines while also evening out the appearance of your skin tone. This serum is great for making your skin appear bright and radiant!

The 24K Cryogenic Diamond Gommage

OROGOLD Diamond Gommage

But if you want all of these sensational vitamins in your chemical exfoliant and more, we’ve got the perfect product for you! Our 24K Cryogenic Diamond Gommage is a sensational formula that can help you get rid of tired-looking skin.

The breakthrough leave-on solution incorporates vitamins A, C, E, and pro-vitamin B5 to help even out the look of your skin tone with gentle exfoliation. The formula also includes sensational botanical extracts, including sea buckthorn, cucumber, chamomile, and green tea, to give your skin a truly royal treatment. This exquisite gommage will remove excess oils and debris, leaving your skin looking renewed and refreshed!

Use Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a common plant that’s famed for changing the skincare game! Among its many skin-lovin’ properties, it works great to fade the look of dark posts. The plant contains a compound known as aloesin that can help in inhibiting the visible effects of hyperpigmentation. Research has shown that aloesin can help diminish the look of dark spots caused by UV-B rays.

Here’s how you can incorporate aloe vera into your nighttime skincare routine:

  • Extract aloe vera gel from the plant and apply it to dark spots on your face. Leave it on overnight.
  • Rinse in the morning with lukewarm water.
  • Repeat these steps daily until you see visible improvement in the look of your dark patches.

Alternatively, give one of OROGOLD’s aloe-infused products a try! The 24K Purifying Toner feels particularly hydrating and refreshing.

Never Skimp on Sunscreen!

Using sunblock is a skincare must that you can’t go a single day without.

Sun spots are caused as a protective response from the body against UV rays. The increased pigmentation is a precautionary action to prevent burnt skin. So, while you might think that you’re getting a cool tan, it’s just your skin trying to stay shielded. The damage later surfaces in the form of dark spots on your face. But you can stop the cycle from happening by incorporating SPF 30+ in your routine.

OROGOLD has just the skincare product you need to help against pigmented skin. Our 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 is a sensational broad-spectrum sunscreen that neutralizes UV rays while keeping your skin feeling smooth and fresh.

What Causes Dark Spots on the Face in the First Place?

Before you can get to the point of managing your dark spots, it’s important to know what the root cause is. Typically, dark spots are a given with aging as your skin’s pigment cells become overactive due to prolonged UV exposure.

Your face, arms, feet, and hands are typically the most exposed to sun rays. That’s why you’ll often find dark spots in these areas of the body. The UV rays speed up your body’s production of melanin, causing parts of your skin to appear darker. Therefore, most people refer to dark spots as aging spots, liver spots, or sun spots.

Although this is the most common cause, there could be other reasons you’re experiencing dark spots on your skin:

  • Acne and Wounds: Even if you don’t pop them, pimples can leave dark spots on your face. As pimples heal, your skin sometimes produces excess melanin to make up for the damage. But these spots fade away much faster compared to those left by popped pimples. So, you better keep those hands away! In a similar manner, your skin develops dark spots after an insect bite or a cut as it heals. These tend to fade away as time passes.
  • Tanning Beds: Some people believe it’s possible to outwit the tanning process with artificial equipment. But these are even more harmful to your skin. Not only do tanning beds lead to dark spots, but they also elevate your chances of developing melanoma (skin cancer).
  • Other Skin Conditions: Inflammation is another culprit when it comes to dark spots on the skin. The phenomenon is known as PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) and it typically occurs as a result of skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
  • Hormonal Imbalance: Dark spots that occur from hormonal changes are referred to as Melasma. This skin condition causes small-scale patches of discolored skin. It’s more common among women, especially when undergoing pregnancy.

Why is Gold Used in Cosmetics?

Woman using gold eye mask

It’s undeniable that when it comes to metals, gold is the epitome of luxury. We wear it on our ears and neck. Heck, it’s even a symbol of undying love on our ring finger when we get married. You’ll also find gold leaf on the most expensive dessert on the menu of a high-end hotel café or Michelin star resto.

When you think gold, you think opulence and decadence — everyone does. But it’s not limited to just jewelry and exotic, ultra-expensive delicacies. For centuries, gold has also been used in beauty and skincare.

So, it comes as no surprise that gold cosmetics has been a growing trend in the past decade. You’ll find this precious metal infused in serums, cleansers, and even exquisite creams. But are these gold-riddled premium skincare worth the splurge?

Read on to see what makes gold cosmetics so unique, as well as the different uses for gold in skincare. Plus, check out the bestselling OROGOLD products we highly recommend if you want to add a golden touch (literally!) to your beauty regimen.

Gold is Becoming Pretty Popular in the World of Skincare

Gold face mask

Throughout the years, gold has been used in many different ways. Centuries ago, it was a form of currency that only the rich and powerful had. Today, it’s used to make Olympic medals and Oscar awards. Whichever way you look at it, gold was, is, and always will be the ultimate symbol of wealth and prosperity.

But today, it’s more than just a status symbol. This antioxidant has permeated mainstream beauty and skincare. You’ll see extravagant serums with gold flecks in them, or gilded peeling masks that make it look like you’re painting molten gold onto your skin.

Yes, it’s an ingredient that makes any boring old skincare product look ten times more Instagram-worthy. This might cause you to think that all it does is “prettify” skincare products without any real benefit. But while some might think it’s a gimmicky ingredient to put in products, it’s actually quite useful on a functional level.

Gold cosmetics don’t have raw, melted gold in them. Instead, they’re infused with gold nanoparticles or “colloidal gold.” This skin-friendly derivative of gold has many benefits for every skin type. It can help improve the look of your skin and make it appear smoother and glowier, but allow us to elaborate later.

These gold particles are extremely small but stable. This means they’re easily absorbed by the skin. Thus, they have the potential to make the rest of the ingredients in your products even more effective.

But don’t get ahead of yourself. Sadly, gold isn’t for everyone. About one in every ten people is allergic to gold. That means it’s important to patch test if you’re using gold cosmetics for the first time.

At OROGOLD, We Proudly Call Gold Our Signature Ingredient

Gold cosmetics from OROGOLD

OROGOLD’s lush and decadent signature ingredient has been widely popular in beauty not just in recent years, but for centuries.

Gold has been used since ancient times for medical and beautification reasons. It’s been said that even Cleopatra herself slathered her face in gold each night to keep it looking youthful. Empresses of the olden Chinese dynasties and the beauties of Rome also used it to make their skin look more flawless.

Gold is believed to have lots of benefits for the skin. And although gold seems like it’s only available to the rich and famous today, it’s OROGOLD’s mission to make it accessible to everyone with a penchant for luxury — well, at least on a skincare level.

We believe in the power of gold not just to make your skin look better, but to make your skincare experience more enjoyable and opulent. After all, isn’t that the way you deserve to be pampered since your daily skin regimen is an act of self-love?

At OROGOLD, we combine colloidal gold with tons of other skin-loving ingredients for an even more powerful effect on your skin. We put it together with cult-fave ingredients like hyaluronic acid, coconut oil, vitamin A, and tons more.

So why try out skincare products with gold in them? Allow us to name you three reasons we love gold cosmetics, and why we think they can help you out too:

1. It Minimizes the Appearance of Wrinkles and Fine Lines

No matter how blemish-free or soft your skin is, age will still catch up with you in one deadly word: wrinkles. The older you get, the saggier and drier your skin feels. This leads to the appearance of fine lines around your mouth, eyes, and even your forehead.

Gold cosmetics can help out with this tremendously. Gold is known to reduce the appearance of stubborn lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles on the skin, making your complexion look firmer and younger.

So, if you’re concerned about how taut and smooth your skin looks as you get closer to your golden years, don’t fret. Gold cosmetics can help iron out the appearance of those wrinkles. It’ll also make your skin look more toned. No one will even realize how old you are if they just look at your flawless complexion.

Make Your Skin Look Plumper and Smoother with Gold-Infused Creams

24K Multi Vitamin Night Nourishment

Aside from environmental aggressors like the sun and external factors like stress and smoking, one of the most common reasons for the development of wrinkles as you age is dehydrated skin.

The older you get, the less active your sebaceous glands will be. The result? Skin that is less moisturized and is more frequently parched and begging for moisture. And when the skin is dry, it loosens a lot more, creating those deep lines and folds that feel as though they are impossible to hide.

Since older skin is prone to being dehydrated, it’s important to pamper your skin with deeply moisturizing products. This will help give your skin back that glow while replenishing it with the moisture it has been deprived of now that you’re producing less sebum.

For that, it’s best to use thick and rich creams. One that we love recommending is the OROGOLD 24k Multi Vitamin Night Nourishment + Retinol.

This night cream combines vitamins A and E — two of the most popular vitamins for mature skin. It also has green tea extracts and gold. These can help make the skin appear more youthful. Together, all these powerhouse ingredients minimize the visibility of wrinkles on your skin, making it look and feel firm and taut.

It also contains other deeply moisturizing ingredients, such as sweet almond oil, shea butter, safflower seed oil, aloe vera leaf juice, jojoba oil, and plenty more. This adds extra plumpness and bounciness to the look of your complexion for a sprightlier appearance.

Once a week, treat your skin to something a little richer and more intensive, like the OROGOLD 24k Nano Hydra Silk Mask. This weekly mask glides onto the skin easily, thanks to rich and velvety ingredients like sodium hyaluronate, acai fruit extracts, goji fruit extracts, and vitamin E.

2. Gold Cosmetics Can Soothe the Feeling of Irritation and Inflammation

We’ve already talked about how, in the past, gold was used to make the skin look softer and glowier. What we haven’t yet covered is how in the olden days, ancient Egyptians also believed that gold had medicinal properties to heal skin diseases.

This is because gold is believed to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that keep the skin feeling calm and looking healthy. When the skin felt itchy, painful, or off somehow, gold would be slathered all over it in the hopes of soothing that sensation.

And if it worked for our ancestors centuries back, why shouldn’t it work for us today?

Help Your Skin Feel Calmer and More Relaxed with Gold-Infused Toners and Serums

24K toner is a great way to treat yourself

Toners and serums sometimes feel like unnecessary parts of skincare. Technically, your skin can survive on just cleansing and moisturizing alone. But if you have particularly sensitive skin that is prone to redness and flare-ups due to sensitive skin conditions, you know how helpful toners and serums are.

These lightweight skincare steps aren’t just packed with hydrating ingredients to boost radiance in your complexion. They also feel super cool and refreshing. This helps soothe the feel of the skin, alleviating the sensation of any irritation and itchiness that you feel.

The OROGOLD 24k Purifying Toner is gentle but packed with hydrating botanicals that quench your skin’s thirst. It makes you feel like you’ve just drunk a whole glass of cold water. If your skin is feeling a bit irritated, dousing your face in this toner might feel like the most satisfying thing ever.

It’s formulated with organic ingredients like aloe vera leaf juice, cucumber extracts, and chamomile extracts. It also has allantoin, which is known to help soothe the feel of the skin.

After using the toner, follow up with the OROGOLD 24k Nano Night Recovery. This is our favorite weekly serum for nighttime. This silky solution helps soothe and add even more moisture to your skin, thanks to extracts from green tea, matricaria, aloe calendula, and more.

Make sure to lock in all the hydration from this serum with your favorite night cream.

3. It Helps Brighten the Tone of Your Appearance, Making You Look More Radiant

One of the most frustrating skin concerns one can deal with in life has got to be acne scars and discoloration. As you age, you might even experience some dullness in your skin tone. But of course, gold cosmetics has a solution even for that.

It is said that before Queen Cleopatra went to bed each night, she would put on a gold mask on her face. This would brighten her complexion. It would make her appear radiant, bouncy, and healthy-looking when she woke.

This is because gold can help brighten the look of your skin. If you’ve been having issues with stubborn discolored spots that won’t seem to go away no matter what you do, you might want to give gold cosmetics a shot.

It’s a chance to make your skin look luminous, just like the precious metal itself. It’ll also be free of the appearance of scars and blemishes that make your face look dull and spotty.

Incorporate Gold-Infused Vitamin C Products and SPF to Maintain Glow

Vitamin C serum

After you see the visible brightening effect of gold cosmetics on your skin, it’s important to maintain that radiance. OROGOLD has a Vitamin C Collection that aims to keep the skin looking glowy and even in tone. And of course, even our vitamin C products are infused with gold.

One of our most prized products in the vitamin C collection is the OROGOLD 24k Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum.

This serum is infused with vitamin A and multiple forms of vitamin C. These vitamins are known to help improve the appearance of dark spots and acne scars on the skin, leaving it looking brighter and more even.

Another skincare product you can use to keep your skin looking bright and radiant is SPF. This protects your skin from sun damage, which can wreak havoc on the skin and leave your dark spots even darker.

For that, we recommend the OROGOLD 24k Skin Tone SPF 30. This cream is lightweight and absorbs into the skin quickly. You don’t have to worry about it feeling greasy or filmy.

It doubles as a moisturizer and sunscreen, since it has active ingredients like octinoxate, oxybenzone, and octisalate. These protect you from the sun’s harsh UV rays.

Conclusion

Trends in skincare and beauty come and go. One day, people are going ga-ga over coconut oil. The next, it’s vitamin C. But if there’s one skincare ingredient that never stopped being trendy and aspirational across the centuries, it’s gold.

Gold cosmetics have plenty of benefits for the skin. They help minimize the appearance of harsh wrinkles on aging skin. They also soothe the feeling of irritation on the skin. Plus, they brighten the complexion to make it look radiant and iridescent. No wonder queens and empresses used them religiously back in the day!

The good news is that, with OROGOLD, you can too. Don’t forget to check out the products above or shop our collections if you want to try out the benefits of gold cosmetics for yourself.

Would Your Skin Benefit from a Deep Peeling Product?

24K Deep Peeling

When you were in your teens, you were probably taught that the secret to smooth, blemish-free skin was to never forget to wash your face at night. It gets rid of all the grime and sweat lying on the surface of your complexion. By washing those away, you can get rid of the appearance of pimples and a rough skin feel once and for all.

But while cleansing your skin is very important for anyone at any age, it’s not the only thing that can detoxify the feel of your skin. Sometimes, using a cleanser is not enough. Once in a while, you need something to give you a deeper, more thorough cleanse to get rid of stubborn buildup on your skin — like dead skin.

This is where your exfoliating products come in. You might be familiar with popular scrubs, which are super helpful for smoothening the feel of the skin. But a deep peeling treatment should also be a regular in your routine. It’s a gentle yet powerful and hardworking way to get dull, tired skin to glow again.

You might be asking, how do you even know if a deep peeling treatment will be beneficial for you? In this article, OROGOLD will be breaking down which skin types and skin concerns will get the most out of a deep peeling product. Stay tuned!

The Importance of Exfoliating Peels in Your Skincare Routine

24K Deep Peeling

Your skin is made of a ton of epidermal cells. Every 40-56 days, these skin cells “die” and come up to the surface to be washed away, revealing younger-looking cells waiting underneath.

But sometimes, those dead skin cells are a pain to wash off. Factors like cold weather and exposure to the sun can slow down the process of shedding dead skin. And when the dead cells build up on your skin, it makes your complexion look dull and feel rough to the touch.

Exfoliating with a deep peeling product helps hasten the process of shedding dead skin. It sloughs off the dead cells that are too stubborn to be washed away by your cleanser, leaving your skin looking and feeling fresh.

Proper exfoliation also allows your skincare products to work better on your skin, since you’ll be eliminating the dead skin that blocks them from being absorbed. That means that using a deep peeling treatment isn’t good for just cleansing, but helps you maximize your creams and serums as well.

The Difference Between Scrubs and Deep Peeling Treatments

Gold scrub

But what is the difference between a deep peeling product and the salt and sugar scrubs you usually see on the market? The answer lies in what type of exfoliant a product uses — physical or chemical.

Physical and chemical exfoliators do essentially the same thing, but are different in the how.

Physical exfoliators use some type of grains or texture (like say, the bristles of a body brush) to manually buff away the dead cells on your skin. Scrubs are great for removing visible flakes on the surface of your skin. But they can get pretty abrasive on the skin too.

See, physical scrubs can be very rough on your skin, especially if they’re not formulated with sensitive skin in mind. It’s even worse if you scrub them into your skin with a heavy hand. This can cause micro-tears, aka little wounds in your skin that destroy your skin barrier.

Believe it or not, chemical exfoliants and deep peeling treatments are gentler on the skin. The acids in them break down the stubborn “glue” that makes your dead skin stick together. This makes exfoliating way easier and safer, since it doesn’t involve vigorous scrubbing.

One of the most popular forms of deep peeling acids is alpha hydroxy acids, which are awesome for sloughing off even the most stubborn dead skin cells. This makes your skin look and feel more renewed.

Meet Your New Favorite Deep Peeling Exfoliator

24 Deep Peeling

Peels are awesome for the skin when your complexion is feeling extra congested and needs a little pick-me-up. But what’s the best peeling treatment when there are so many on the market?

If we’re talking about deep peeling products, we know which one our favorite is. It’s the OROGOLD 24k Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. What makes it a deep peeling treatment? It has both physical and chemical exfoliators.

There’s bamboo stem powder and finely ground walnut shells to buff away dead skin. But it also has mandelic acid, a popular AHA that unsticks dead skin from the surface of your complexion. Mandelic acid is also terrific for making your skin appear more radiant and even-looking in tone (but more on that later!).

The exfoliator also has lots of OROGOLD’s favorite skin-loving ingredients. Infusions of coconut oil, vitamins A, C, and E, jojoba esters, and green tea make the skin feel smoother and look glowy. It even has gold for an extra touch of luxury.

Simply apply this treatment directly to freshly cleansed skin. Massage it into your face, rubbing in gentle circles. Then, rinse off with lukewarm or cool water. Use this deep peeling product once a week. Any more than that can cause symptoms of over-exfoliation, which can manifest as redness and irritation.

Not sure if your skin even needs a deep peeling treatment? Here are four signs that your skin is actually craving it!

1. You Have Dry, Flaky Skin Because of Seasonal Changes

During the colder months of winter, your skin is more susceptible to dehydration. The winds are harsh and chilly, and there’s little to no humidity in the air. That means dry flakes on the surface of your skin.

It also means the dead skin on your face might be more stubborn to wash away. Your skin might even feel rough and look dull even as winter turns to spring. They’ll be more difficult to unstick and shed, so you’ll likely need the extra help from a deep peeling exfoliator.

Exfoliating will get rid of those flakes and dead skin that keep your face from looking healthy and radiant. And since the OROGOLD deep peeling treatment is filled to the brim with hydrating ingredients, it can also help alleviate dryness.

Although the deep peeling treatment has ingredients to smoothen the feel of your skin, it’s still important to follow up with a moisturizer, especially if you have naturally dry skin. For that, you can use the OROGOLD 24k Deep Moisturizer.

This rich cream is made with luxuriously smooth ingredients, like shea butter and vitamin E. It helps make your skin glow while adding a velvety soft feel to it. However, it’s still lightweight and non-greasy, so it feels very comfy on the skin.

2. Your Skin Feels Congested Thanks to Sweat, Makeup, and Pollution

After a long day of taking the subway, working, and hitting the gym, your skin can feel a bit icky and gross. Your pores might feel congested with sweat, makeup, and dirt from pollution.

And when your pores are congested, it can often lead to breakouts. So, it’s of the utmost importance to wash your skin thoroughly and deeply.

Start off with a high-quality facial cleanser. We recommend the OROGOLD 24k Mousse Cleanser. This water-based cleanser is an excellent first step to your night routine. It creates a rich, creamy lather for a satisfying cleanse that washes away the makeup and grease from your day.

Since the cleanser is infused with ingredients like chamomile, argan oil, and moringa seed oil, it doesn’t strip your skin of moisture. Instead, it leaves the complexion looking fresh and glowy.

Then, follow with the OROGOLD deep peeling treatment. This is going to be a huge help for anyone who feels like their skin can’t breathe after a long, sweaty day outside. The deep cleansing will make your skin feel fresh and renewed.

Plus, mandelic acid is known to minimize the visibility of large pores. So if you’re constantly conscious about your pores, this OROGOLD deep peeling treatment will be your best friend.

Think of this deep peeling treatment as a way of pampering yourself at the end of a long week, when you want to literally wash away all of the stress you’ve had to go through. It’s a small but impactful act of self-love, as all skincare is supposed to be.

3. You Want to Reduce the Appearance of Dark Spots for a Brighter-Looking Complexion

If you suffer from post-acne hyperpigmentation, you know how horrible it is. After weeks of battling an active pimple, you’ll be rewarded not with clear skin, but with a dark spot that lasts even longer. Sometimes, getting rid of that dark spot can take months.

The sun is a huge culprit in why dark spots take forever to disappear. The sun’s UV rays trigger melanin production, encouraging discoloration to look even more obvious. Because of that, acne scars tend to stick around longer.

But a deep peeling treatment can improve the appearance of these blemishes and spots. AHAs like mandelic acid are effective in reducing the look of acne scars and dark spots. So, by using the OROGOLD deep peel, your skin can look brighter and more even in tone.

To prevent the appearance of stubborn dark spots moving forward, make sure you always use SPF. The OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 is a fabulous option for everyday sun protection.

It’s a sheer, lightweight, comfortable cream that protects your skin. That way, you can have fun in the sun without worrying about worsening the visibility of your pigmentation.

4. You’re Getting Frustrated With the Number of Lines and Wrinkles in Your Skin

One day, you have plump and youthful-looking skin. And then the next thing you know, you have silver strands in your hair and one too many wrinkles visible on your face.

Deep lines are a part of getting older, but it doesn’t mean you need to tolerate them. Exfoliating with a deep peeling treatment can do wonders to help with that.

AHAs are known for improving the appearance of maturing skin by reducing the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Mandelic acid, one of the star ingredients of the OROGOLD deep peeling treatment, is an AHA. So, it can lend a hand in minimizing the visibility of the signs of skin aging.

If you need extra help making your skin look younger and feel firm and smooth, a deep peeling treatment is exactly what you need.

Feel Like Your Skin Might Want a Gentler Product Instead?

Still intimidated by chemical acids in deep peeling products? Maybe you’ll be more comfortable using a gentler exfoliator. The OROGOLD 24k Cryogenic Diamond Gommage might be perfect for you.

This exfoliator is so gentle that you don’t need to wash it off. Just massage this gel into your skin, and it will work to exfoliate the dead skin that makes your complexion look dull.

Aside from making your skin look brighter and more renewed after exfoliating, it also smoothens the feel of the skin’s texture. This is thanks to ingredients like coconut extracts, vitamin E, centella asiatica, chamomile, green tea, and cucumber extracts.

Conclusion

If you’re used to washing your face only with a cleanser and a handy scrub in your medicine cabinet that you bring out once every few months, you might think that a deep peeling treatment is unnecessary. But exfoliating with acids is a huge part of maintaining a smooth complexion, and you shouldn’t go without it.

Deep peeling products have tremendous skin benefits. They smoothen the feel of the skin’s texture, zap away the look of dark spots, and brighten the tone of your complexion. They also give your face a more youthful appearance by minimizing the visibility of wrinkles and lines.
