New Beauty Trend: Diamond Skin Cream?

Now here’s a new an unexpected way to add a little star power to your upcoming “I dos”: The latest trend in the beauty world is the union of gemstones and facial creams. They’re popping up on the ingredients list for all sorts of rejuvenating skin products. They’re said to help with exfoliation, and some even promise to create an immediate shimmer effect on the skin. Dying to try this at home? So are we! Top rated products American Beauty Ultimate Diamond Restorative Anti-Aging Cream (which includes diamond-powder extract said to reflect light, and increase your skin’s luminosity), and Borba Age Defying Micro-Diamond Cleanser are first on my list to try. The price alone is hard to beat. At $49.50 and $25.00 respectively, they’re just a fraction of what the bling you really crave would cost. -- Jen DeRose
