Diamonds, often called a girl’s best friend, might also become your skin’s best friend. 

Instead of adorning your fingers, ears, and neck with diamonds, should you consider adding them to your beauty regimen?

Caprea Beauty suggests that diamond-infused serums, masks, BB creams, nail polish, and shampoos are now available in the market. 

But do they deliver results? It’s safe to say that diamond powder offers some incredible benefits, particularly gentle exfoliation without harming the skin.

While caviar might be an indulgent delicacy, it’s also among the world’s most expensive beauty ingredients. It’s renowned for its moisturizing and reparative properties.

Beyond its culinary delight, researchers have discovered that fish egg extract, or caviar, can work wonders for your skin. 

Caviar boasts antioxidant qualities that protect and nourish the skin. It’s rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which moisturize the skin and enhance its texture. 

Caprea Beauty also reports that caviar primarily hydrates the skin, leaving it soft and flawless.

If you’re active in online beauty circles, chances are you’ve seen influencers and supermodels like Alessandra Ambrosio promoting gold-leaf face masks. 

If you’ve ever wondered why gold is considered one of the most expensive beauty ingredients, here’s why.

Gold is renowned for its anti-aging properties and is commonly used in creams, lotions, and the many celebrity-endorsed face masks that have become trendy.

According to Business Insider, gold leaf, gold extract, and gold particles have been highly sought-after in skincare. 

They are often found in serums, sheet masks, lotions, and creams due to their exceptional skin-boosting abilities.

Even though it may seem simple, the addition of a few gold particles significantly raises the price of gold as a skincare ingredient.

Truffles

Truffles are only found in the wild, primarily in Northern Italy, and can cost up to $10,000 per pound.

Shannon Dunn, Eco Beauty editor, mentioned in an interview with Business Insider that truffles are known for their high price tag, mainly due to their rarity.

Truffles, primarily found in the wild in Northern Italy, can cost up to $10,000 per pound.

Truffles are prized for their ability to help with hyperpigmentation. Their high Vitamin C content is effective in fading dark spots. 

They also contain Vitamins B3, B6, and B12, which repair damaged skin and prevent dryness and irritation.

Moreover, their fatty acids help reduce inflammation and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. You can find truffle in masks, eye creams, moisturizers, and serums.
