The aesthetic and energetic power of crystals and minerals have been known and used for thousands of years! Ancient civilizations, like the Egyptians and the Chinese, have used gemstones in skincare since the dawn of recorded history.
Instead of using harmful petrochemical, SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) and paraben based beauty and health care products, why not consider using natural based products like the ancients did? There is some serious science backing this! Known as electro-stimulants, minerals in gemstones function as semi-conductors for your skin! This is essential to increasing cellular productivity, performance, repair and penetration the skin while leveraging the effects of any other ingredients.
Here are a few tips on how to incorporate crystal power in your beauty routine:
Toning
You can infuse filtered water with gemstones, minerals and crystals. The elevated frequency emitted from gemstones and precious minerals helps direct energy to specific areas of need, constantly adapting to your skin under any condition, allowing for maximum performance and benefits.
How To:
- Add your crystals to filtered water
- Let the crystals sunbathe or moonbathe for 5-10 mins at a time (so the water doesn’t evaporate)
- Remove the crystals
- Transfer the water to a spray bottle
- Spritz on your skin to heal, replenish and refresh!
Masking
Use your crystal toning water as the base for your face mask! This infuses your skin with extra mineral healing powers, which goes straight into your bloodstream.How To:
- Add the crystal water to a bowl
- Add your favorite powdered mask
- Mix to a muddy consistency
- Use a fan brush to gently paint the mask onto your face
- Wash with filtered water
Elixirs & Tinctures
You can make healing elixirs with your gemstones! They are a convenient way to use the vibrational energies of the crystals for natural healing, manifestation, and more. In the production of elixirs, water absorbs the crystal’s energy pattern, potentializes it, and stores it. They are easy to make and can be stored for later use.
How To:
- State your intent for the elixir out loud. Ask the crystals themselves for assistance with making this elixir for the highest good of all concerned
- Add the crystals to filtered water
- Allow the crystals to sunbathe or moonbathe for 5-10 mins at a time (so the water doesn’t evaporate)
- Transfer the water to a bottle
- Add vodka or another grain or rice alcohol to preserve
- Add honey for taste
- Store in fridge
- Take 5-10 drops under the tongue daily
Oils & Serums
You can also infuse your serums with the power of gemstones and crystals! To get the best results for gorgeous-looking skin, add these exceptional minerals to your daily routine.
How To:
- Fill a kitchen bowl with your favorite oil (organic olive oil, jojoba oil or almond oil for any skin tone!)
- Add your crystals for 3 minutes to infuse
- Remove crystals and your oil is ready to use!
- Use liberally on face, hair and body for ultimate, healing hydration!
