These Crystals May Be the Key to a Better Beauty Routine
Jun 14, 2018
Crystal-infused beauty products are adding a little something extra to beauty routines this season. Follow in the footsteps of celebs including Miranda Kerr (who stashes a gemstone in her bra, BTW), and get ready to open your mind to the benefits behind these mystical rocks. Whether infused or ground into mineral-rich powders, crystalline ingredients can help soothe, balance, enhance, and heal your skin. If you already rely on crystals to get through mercury retrograde, to re-align your chakras, or to restore your chill, prepare to take it one step further. No matter your ethereal orientation, you can score a little something from eight of nature’s most skin-friendly sparklers, from confidence-boosting citrine to nurturing rose quartz.
