Pearl powders have been known to contain about 18 amino acids and over a dozen minerals. There are also 10 essential amino acids necessary for the human body to heal and maintain cell nutrition. These essential building blocks of collagen and protein each has a specific function. Deficiency of any one of the key amino acids can cause the skin to look coarse, depleted, sallow or wrinkle quicker. The pearls that are unsuitable for jewelry due to imperfections are carefully ground into a superfine powder, with a constancy resembling cornstarch, to use in cosmetics and beauty creams

Traditionally the recognized benefits of using pearl powder products include:

Healing, skin brightening, anti-wrinkle, and sun protection

To use pearl powder as a face powder use a fluffy makeup brush, and very lightly brush it over your face. As an added bonus, you’ll reap the skin care benefits of pearl powder by using it this way. You can even apply it before bed, and it helps soothe skin and absorb excess oil during the night.

Make a pearl powder mask

Directions: Add a 1/8 tsp. of pearl powder into a bowl and add a few drops of rose water a little at a time, until you have a thick liquid that you can apply to your face with fingers. Let sit for 10 minutes before rinsing.

This mask will calm excessive redness in your skin and will leave your face silky, matte, soft and soothed.
