Crystals aren’t just for hippies and free spirits in 2018. They are for all of us looking to give our beauty and skin care routine a boost this winter. Below you’ll find the top 6 crystals for for skin healing and why smearing ourselves in crystal infused cosmetics is a great idea!
Energetic miracles notwithstanding, crystals like rose quartz that are finely milled and put in cosmetic highlighters can impart an ethereal visage à la Miranda Kerr. Check out her Kora Organics line, mainly the Rose Quartz Illuminator that MK has spoken about applying; “I apply on my cheeks, temples and brow bones as part of my beauty routine or on the go whenever I need an extra glow.”
Cult favorite beauty company ColourPop’s new Crushed Crystal Collection allows you to shop by your mood. The line contains four crystal product types: Amethyst (purple) for balance, Aquamarine (blue) for calm, Rose Quartz (pink) for love and Aventurine (green) for positivity/good vibes.
Each color line contains a Primer Spray, Liquid Highlighter and a Crystal Balm at only $20 per set or ranging for $6-$9 if you want to purchase individually. Perfect for crystal-newbies who want to try out a few different “energies” and experiment at an affordable price point.
Love ’em or hate ’em one has to admit that the Kardashians are major beauty influencers and their reigning Queen, Kim, has got in on the crystal beauty game following the October 2016 Paris hotel robbery that left her in desperate need of some high-vibes.
Following the traumatizing event, Kim’s friends and family started to gift the mother of three “healing crystals known to help bring balance to the mind and body …” Kim was so inspired by the gifts that she decided to incorporate the crystal shape into the bottle design for her forthcoming line of perfumes. The line was only launched in November and has already attained $10 million in sales The KKW Fragrance Crystal Perfume features three limited edition profiles: Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Oud, and Crystal Gardenia Citrus; KKW is obsessed with the Gardenia scent!
Everyone knows you are what you eat, but who knew eating your gems (minerals) and pearls would up your beauty quota! Enter Beauty Dust by Moon Juice with its “edible radiance” which contains super antioxidants like Goji Berries and Ashwagandha Root to help control stress levels and retain skin elasticity. This easily dissolvable ‘dust’ contains real pearl extract so that you truly radiate from the inside out.
Kristin Petrovich, founder of crystal skincare line Själ states “not only do crystals feel good on the skin, but they also provide microcirculation and targeted cell delivery, and have the ability to balance and harmonize the skin.” Själ sells complete kits like the Rose Aura Cleansing set which contains a chunk of real rose quartz along with the Balans deep pore cleanser, Mineral Källa energy tonic, and a konjac sponge. Therefore, novices can add some good juju to their collection of crystal-imbued skincare as well as your complexion.
Not sold? Still think crystals for skin healing are a little too “woo-woo”? Dip your toes in the crystal pond with some crystal instilled aromatherapy oil (remember when aromatherapy was considered New Age?) I like Kora Organics Heart Chakra Aromatherapy Oil for the way the scent releases tension and gets the positive love vibes flowing, simply as a placebo effect or not…I try to cash in on as much positive energy as I can!
