Prestige skin care brands want you to push it. Push the "I believe" button that the more exotic or expensive the ingredient, the better the skin care and your anti-aging results.
After reading about Diamonta I decided I couldn't possibly believe. As the name suggests, Diamonta contains actual diamonds. According to the company founder and inventor of the Diamonta product, Dr Nitasha Buldeo,
"Diamonds are great in skincare as they can be ground down to incredibly fine particles that make a wonderful exfoliant that doesn’t graze the skin. They also have light reflective particles that smooth fine lines and wrinkles by bouncing light away from them." [Daily Mail] Diamonta arrives to market in time for Christmas at a price well over $400.
Name any precious metal, stone, mineral, luxury ingredient and you'll find a skin care product containing it.
Gold: Guerlain Divinora Pure Radiance ($67) [Sephora]
Gold + Placenta: Gold Rejuvenating Placenta Serum [Ecowool]
Pearls: Pearl Cream ($30) [SeaofChi ]
Or get them all in a pure 24 carat Gold, Pearl Powder, Diamond Powder and Silver facial.
Do you believe?

I think we have all seen the arrested developement episode where Tobias Funke covers himself in Diamond Creme....
Although I didn't notice a big change in his skin tone, Diamonds have been used for years in skin care products, although part of it is the exotic factor, it is true that diamond skin creme actually work, not to mention are a huge self-esteem booster. Which isn't that what beauty products are supposed to do?
