Here’s Why Caviar-Infused Beauty Products Are Worth the Hype
Caviar is one of those delicacies that has a reputation for catering to the upper echelon of society. If you don’t have access to the fishy treat or can’t stomach it, you can still indulge via your beauty products.
Why would you want to smear your face with the upscale dish? Well, it’s actually a great moisturizer due to its omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. It also boasts antioxidant properties. And if you’re looking to maintain elasticity, it should be your go-to. In fact, spas have long been offering caviar-based treatments to smooth wrinkles, promote collagen production and protect skin from pollutants.
When it comes to at-home treatments, every beauty lover worth her moisturizer knows about La Prairie’s super luxe caviar line. But you don’t have to shell out hundreds for the delicacy. Alterna has added it to hair care, there are BB creams containing the ingredient and Nails inc. even used it in a top coat. Just check to make sure the products you pick actually contain caviar or caviar extract. Sometimes the term is used to symbolize a supposedly luxury treatment, not the actual fish eggs.
