You know how much I love crystals – they’ve been used for years in different cultures for their striking beauty, roles in tradition and emergence in many forms of art. Many people swear by the healing properties of crystals as well, so it’s no surprise that they might show up in our beauty products on occasion. Take a look at the products below and tell me, will you be testing crystal beauty’s benefits?
Whispering Woods Botanical Perfume – Handcrafted in St. Paul, MN, this product infuses pine, lavender and bergamot with subtle notes of cedarwood and vanilla for a soothing scent. Then it’s paired with crystal chips, and forget any artificial fragrances or additives. The crystals are intended to channel positive energy (making it a perfect scent before meditation) and the fragrances from the essential oils create a tranquil environment.
Lava Love! Vegan Bath Powder – Lava Love is another independent label that harnesses nature for beauty/skin benefits – specifically, volcanic ash, AKA bentonite, zeolite and charcoal. These ingredients are used for the same reason charcoal has popped up in so many face masks lately – their effectiveness in drawing out impurities and detoxifying. The Epsom salt and volcanic ash also heal and sooth while the cleanser does its magic.
Bliss Multi-Face-Ted Clay Mask – Like many clay masks, this fights aging, minimizes the look of pores and helps with multiple skin concerns. But it differs in most for two reasons: 1) It’s touted as a flexible clay mask – making it much easier to actually apply and keep on, and 2) It contains quartz (long used in luxury spas) to help brighten and refresh.
Moon Juice Beauty Dust – Beauty elixirs like Moon Juice are all the rage as of late, and while this potent concoction of pearl, goji and stevia sweetener (you mix it into your drink to reap the skin and hair benefits) is quite the beauty splurge, it has surprisingly good reviews. The pearl infused in this product is said to have similar beauty benefits to that of quartz and charcoal – brightening, tightening and detoxifying.
Pur Minerals Mineral Moisture Complex – With a mix of botanicals and trace minerals (specifically malachite extract), this anti-aging night cream moisturizes and improves skin elasticity while you catch those Zzz’s. Malachite’s use in beauty products dates back to ancient Egypt (green eyeshadow, anyone?) for its antioxidant properties and of course, as symbol of beauty and status.
Lancer The Method Polish Exfoliator – Quartz and sodium bicarbonate crystals are used for a better, less invasive exfoliation. Also infused with sea algae, pumpkin and pomegranate extracts (a winning combo, apparently), it’s basically a gentle buffer for your face.
Morihata Binchotan Facial Puff – Charcoal and Konjac plant come together in this Japanese miracle sponge to create a gentle exfoliation even for the most sensitive skin. Binchotan charcoal (paired with Konjac root) is the same stuff made and used in Japan for years to purify tap water, the air, skin and more.
TONYMOLY Highlighter – One of the more affordable crystal-infused products on the market, this highlighter was created with mineral water containing amethyst, pearl and tourmaline, which not only gives skin a healthy boost, it provides a subtle shimmer that’s not too glittery or shiny.
