You can wear pearls around your neck and use them in your beauty routine. Pearls, or pearl powder, can be combined with oils, creams, creams, and balms to make an illuminating paste that helps revive dull and tired skin.

The use of pearls in skincare stems from Asian Chinese medicine. It is believed that the pearls were first used thousands of years ago. Although it isn’t often mentioned in Western skincare regimens, pearls are a common ingredient in Asian skin care routines. We all know that anything large in the East works well.

What is pearl powder?

Pearl powder, a natural source of calcium due to its oceanic heritage, is a finely ground dust made from high-quality freshwater pearls. Pearl powder is not only a radiant skin-enhancing ingredient, but also has many skincare benefits, including promoting cell renewal and detoxification, protecting against environmental damage, and smoothing uneven skin texture and pigmentation.

What does pearls do to add radiance and beauty to your skin?

The pearl powder helps to block an enzyme called tyrosinase in the skin. This enzyme is responsible to produce melanin which gives the skin a deep, golden color. This enzyme is reduced, which results in skin that glows naturally and has a brighter complexion. It is also rich in amino acid, which help to smoothen and strengthen the skin. This contributes to increased luminosity and radiance.
