From quartz to tourmaline, crystals are cropping up in ingredient lists all over the beauty world. The claim is that the unique vibrations that crystals emit, can have a healing and energising effect on the mind, body, soul… and now, your skin.

There are three main ways in which beauty brands are using crystals. In their solid form – e.g. jade rollers, that can be massaged on the skin. By crushing ground gemstones, and adding them to skincare, makeup and fragrance,or by infusing water with crystals, positively charging the solution with their energy and then adding it into beauty products.
