Gold has always been recognized for its luxurious and beautifying properties. Historians have long maintained that Cleopatra used pure gold as a tool to maintain her youthful skin by sleeping in a gold mask every night. In the ancient Indian healing art of Ayurveda, gold facials are said to firm the skin, give it a glow and reduce wrinkles.

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai now offers the 24 karat gold anti-ageing facial, which stimulates the skin and produces collagen fibres, helping to reduce lines, giving an immediate lifting effect and regaining a new radiance and youthful appearance.
