Precious Gems

Welcome back to the second installment of Bring on the Bling. (Be sure to check out yesterday's post, Part I: Diamonds.) This series proves that nothing is too precious to put on our skin — literally. Today's featured products are infused with crushed pearls, which are believed to contain high concentrations of minerals and amino acids essential to healthy skin cells. I have yet to try these products, but if you have, please share your thoughts below.

Carita Pearl of Youth for Lips ($67) is an anti-aging lip treatment that helps to repair and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on and around the mouth. It contains peptides that make lips look full and moisturized, as well as pearl powder to nourish the skin. Apply in the morning and evening to a perfectly clean pout.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend — and spas are one of her favorite places to hang out! Whoever was the first cosmeceutical genius to come up with the idea of mixing the two together was really onto something. BellaSugar proudly brings you the first of a three-part series that focuses on a new wave of skincare products that contain precious gems. Today, we are looking at products with diamonds.

La Mer Refining Facial ($75) is a smoothing cream that contains natural exfoliating agents, including diamond powder, sea quartz, and fermented acidic sea mud, which rid your face of dead and dry skin cells. Your skin instantly looks radiant, re-texturized, and renewed, since the special ingredients turn your mini-massage into energy that helps increase circulation and overall vitality of your facial skin.
