During lockdown I have been learning and opening my mind to something a little bit different, crystals for facials. I have become so obsessed with it that I now incorporate it into my own skincare routine!
This unique facial uses the vibration of healing crystals to calm and balance your mind, body and skin. It includes the use of a facial roller (you may know them as Jade Rollers), a Gua Sha, healing crystals and a round ended wand.
Believe it or not the facial rollers and Gua Sha skincare tools aren’t a new phenomenon; their origins go back centuries! They historically were used to help with eliminating toxins from the body; not just from the face but also the neck, shoulders and back. It’s believed to help promote healthy blood circulation, resulting in the “glow” we all desire.
There are many different crystals with many different benefits, so the facial can be tailored to suit your needs. These are the main crystals I will be using:
Rose Quartz – known for improving self-love and acceptance as well as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, while also improving circulation and calming the complexion.
Jade – protects the skin and increases circulation.
Amethyst – Soothes tension and eases negativity, which can lead to reduced stress and less anxiety, restoring calm and aiding relaxation.
Aquamarine – For youthfulness and anti-aging. It is also known to alleviate the symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema, hives, allergic rashes, rosacea, and psoriasis, and it may also help prevent outbreaks.
Here are a few of many benefits of a Crystal Facial:
- Deep Relaxation
- Increased confidence & self esteem
- Clear mind, Improved thinking
- Increased radiance
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved circulation
- Calms the skins complexion
- Improves dark circles and reduces puffiness around the eyes.
