The Use of Gemstones in Beauty
Crystal Healing has been an esteemed and speculative practice for centuries. Professional healers claim that crystals vibrate at a much higher frequency than our bodies, which allows them to aid our lives in variety of ways. Many crystals are said to help boost our mood, alleviate stress, restore harmony and even aid in physical health and bodily healing. But what happens when we use crystals and gemstones in our skincare? Lately, beauty experts and crystal healers have been combining the effects of gemstone healing and effective beauty products, resulting in the latest beauty buzz – gemstone skincare.
Although a trend, using gemstones in beauty is not just a novelty.

Using gemstones and crystals in your beauty routine not only takes care of your skin, but cares for your mind and spirit as well.
