Pearl powder tops the list of ancient beauty secrets that gave luminous glow tothe empresses and the most beautiful women of the Orient since 320 AD. Pearl’s rich nutrition renews and restores the beauty and radiance of the skin.
Pearl is mostly made of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate that can make you look blooming and fresh. Calcium helps to preserve skin health and regulates oil production to keep skin hydrated and blemish-free. On the other hand, Dendy Engelman a dermatologist in New York City explains that magnesium helps improve your skin’s overall appearance, reduces acne and other skin disorders by lowering cortisol or stress levels. The good news is that the calcium in Pearl is “negatively charged” which means that it’s the kind of calcium that is easily absorbed by the skin.
Additionally, Pearl powder contains complete protein so it is essential for generating healthy skin and nails. The collagen and amino acids found in protein help maintain skin’s elasticity and firmness. Scientific findings even show that Pearl has the capacity to boost many important antioxidants in the body including SOD and glutathione, the two potent antioxidants that have shown to have a strong connection to overall health, wellness and longevity. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from toxic oxygen that causes cell damage while Glutathione is one of the body’s most important and potent antioxidants that reduces oxidative stress by combating free radicals in the body. Simply put, free radicals damage the skin and speeds up aging.
Regular use of Pearl powder can turn back the clock and help skin look much younger because it has the power to stimulate the production of Collagen, the main structural protein that supports our skin cells and fibroblasts that build the connecting fibres that hold the skin together. Both are responsible for the firm, bright, healthy-looking skin associated with youth.
Ancient royalties used Pearl powder as a face mask and it has been celebrated for its ability to make the skin look younger and clearer. Nowadays, it is proven that it reduces the activation of tyrosinase, the enzyme that causes the production of melanin. Without melanin, the skin looks fairer and noticeably vibrant like the sparkle of the pearl gem.
