Adore Cosmetics Golden Touch 24K Techno-Dermis Eye Mask

Beauty Treatments to Skip Before Your Wedding

Pure 24K gold calms and equalizes electrical energy of skin in the most delicate areas of your face, absorbing down to your skin's keratin level to help halt elastin breakdown. It escorts oxygen molecules to the cellular level for deep renewal and slows down melanin secretion to diminish age spots and skin discoloration (like, you know, dark circles). But honestly, it's made with 24K gold and possibly matches your wedding band, so that's probably enough to make your heart (and eyes) sing.
