If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, gold can help reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. You can use gold as a topical treatment for acne, but to be able to receive the full benefits of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is better to use gold-infused products on a long-term basis. For an immediate pick-me-up, we love this Goodal Gold Acupressure-Therapy Lifting Mask, $35 for 5 pack, which has gold points to apply acupressure therapy to soothe and calm the skin.

Gold has the ability to protect the skin from free radicals and sun damage. It can also reduce the depletion of collagen. If you live in the city, gold can also help prevent the damages caused by pollutants found in the environment. Keep your skin ultra-hydrated and protected with this Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Mask, $80.
