No one can deny the aesthetic value of pearls. Some even argue that pearls are too shiny and full of lust. But pearls don’t only have a superficial ostentatious effect, they can actually have a positive effect on a woman’s skin. A large proportion of global jewelry pearls are cultured in China, yet Chinese tradition also appreciates the therapeutic function of pearls. Pearl powder is a good treatment against aging effects according to the Chinese medicine. Apparently, many of the famous beautiful women of ancient China used pearl powder or even special pearl powder masks to keep their skin soft. With the Chinese appreciation for silky skin I bet that the powder’s merits have been checked diligently.

So what is so good about crushing pearls into powder? The mixture of chemicals embodied in pearls includes magnesium, aluminum, zinc, tungsten, calcium, carbon, lithium and iron. Some of these chemicals induce an anti-aging reaction when they contact a human skin. The powder also comprises of several type of aminophenol molecules, which are especially beneficial for generating healthy results. These molecules can increase the body’s metabolism, which also suppresses anti-aging natural processes and helps maintaining a soft skin.

With such positive outcomes why won’t every aging woman use pearl powder?! I have read that such powder can have different effect on different users, so before getting excited about this option it is better to give pearl powder a trial run and see how it makes you feel. Stunning results, if possible at all, could be obtained within several months of using pearl powder daily.

I find it amusing that some women avoid using pearl powder but still, one of the reasons they like wearing pearls is their therapeutic effect. Well, nobody can prove that wearing an Akoya pearl necklace doesn’t have any positive effect on one’s skin, still, claiming it does is a funny superstition, even in jewelry lovers’ standards. Though, if you ask me, the luster of round and white pearls could bounce of your skin in a way that would eliminate any face wrinkles and would generate the anti-aging effect every woman would like to achieve.

Concerning pearl powder, one of its disadvantages is its high price, and if you add the fact that it is used daily, it is a much less economic purchase than, let’s say, a pearl necklace. But when you consider the fact that pearl powder’s “magic” has been appreciated for the last 2000 years of Chinese medicine it cannot be argued that it is not worth your skin’s while.

In more practical terms, my friend Christine told me that she likes creating pearl powder masks and she can feel her skin becoming younger when she’s wearing it. Such a mask is consisted of 2 spoons of egg white with 1 spoon of pearl powder mixed together. Eggs are effective for reducing acne. An omlet on the face should become a new teenager acne fighting strategy, if you ask me.

When going for the purchase, avoid dubious dealers who try to sell duplicate pearl powder and check every pearl powder product you come across thoroughly. Online purchasing can be beneficial, just look for a brand which has had many good reviews, otherwise your skin might continue to age as before, and your anger as a frustrated customer may lead to the emergence of new annoying wrinkles…
