Heart Evangelista shares the benefits of using gold leaf in her skincare routine

Heart Evangelista updates us on her current skincare faves and discoveries in her latest YouTube video.

There, she talked about some of the new products and procedures she has been trying such as dry brushing, cooling globes, and LED skincare tools.

One of the most notable steps in her skincare routine is how she adds real gold leaf to her sunblock!

"This was used, again, in the ancient times. They use gold leaf, you can mix with oil, you can mix it with your moisturizer, you can mix it with anything that you put on, even serum.

"They used this in Japan. It's proven to have ions that are very, very good for your skin and also it's really good for anti-aging. It really helps with the fine lines so I like to put that on my face.

"Not all the time but if ever I do it all the time, I like to put it on my neck. You can put it all the time on your face because again, consistency is key with everything, especially at a certain age, you wanna prevent so gold leaf is also proven to prevent wrinkles," Heart explained.

As explained by Dr. Yannis Alexandrides in an article on Get The Gloss, "Gold helps boost the microcirculation of the skin, leaving it energised and radiant.

"It helps treat skin infections and acne-prone complexions, as well as boosting cell renewal.

"Gold nanoparticles have even been proven to have a stabilizing effect on active ingredients, making them more potent when combined."

Seeing as how Heart doesn't look a day over 25 despite being in her mid-30s, it seems like her ~extra~ and luxurious beauty routine really gets the job done.
