Luxury holiday gift: 24 kt gold skincare from Orogold

Gold is a traditional gift for the holidays: it was one of the presents given to the Christ child by the three Magi, it’s a favored gift at Hanukkah and other religious celebrations. But gold jewelry can be prohibitively expensive!

Fortunately, there’s a more attainable way to give a sumptuous present. Orogold is a luxury skincare line that contains precious 24kt gold! I was happy to be hosted to experience it.

According to StyleCraze.com, gold has benefits for the complexion such as easing wrinkles, increasing metabolism (and turnover) of skin cells, lightening the skin and repairing sun damage. Cleopatra is said to be one of the ancient beauties who utilized the precious metal in glamorizing treatments.

The 24K Daily Essential Kit is called a “trousse” in French and indeed, it’s like a trousseau of luxurious, gorgeously presented products. Each of the trio of rounded jars resemble Christmas tree ornamental balls in pearl and gold colors. The heavy golden box in which it’s packaged has an authentication certificate attesting to the products containing beaten metal leaves with a thickness of 0.07 microns. The products contain pure 24K gold from Italy. Really, just put a bow on it and you’re done shopping!

The kit consists of 24K Deep Day Moisturizer Cream, 24K Deep Peeling and 24K Cell Renewal Night Cream.

The day cream is hydrating without being greasy. During the colder weather most of the country is experiencing now, you’ll find that it sinks into the skin quickly and will not interfere with the application of cosmetics. Along with gold, it contains the nutritious ingredients Vitamin C, Vitamin E and green tea.

The deep peeling is actually very gentle to the face. A gelee consistency, its exfoliating properties won’t scratch or irritate. The application is quite unusual: you spread it on dry skin and roll off the dead cells! I was shocked at how much came off . . . after all, I take very good care of my skin. This is a great way to freshen your look, have makeup apply smoother, let your moisturizers work better.

The night cream is a heavy-duty cream, which will feel good this time of year. Even if you have oily skin, your throat will appreciate this richer product incorporating gold and Vitamin E.

Each of the three products is perfectly sized for 3-1-1 carry-on travel bags/TSA flight requirements, just the right thing to give that jet-setter in your life!
