Gold makeup products and skin treatments will become more popular in 2008, a magazine editor told a Florida news source.

Conde Nast editor-at-large Dana Dickey cited a number of golden products - including a sheer lip gloss by Yves St Laurent - as must-have products for the new year.

"It has actual 24-carat gold flecks in it," she told Jacksonville's First Coast News.

In addition, gold facials and other skincare products containing the precious metal are proving popular at upscale salons.

Bio Magnetic North, based in Manitoba, Canada offers an anti-aging serum containing flakes of 24-carat gold for sale through its website.

Swedish Serum SK - the firm responsible for the product - claims the facial gel offers essential moisture and improves skin tone, while the gold flakes detoxify the skin and absorb pollutants.

In addition, the firm says that gold can regulate the skin's ionic balance and that the serum's rejuvenating properties instantly result in a "youthful glow".
