Now it helps your skin, too A DECADE AGO, MOST OF US would have scoffed at the idea of using crystals to realign our energy for better skin, but the wellness boom has made us less sceptical and heralded a new wave of gemstonebased products. However, new age brands can’t take all the credit – these stones have been used for beautifying and healing for centuries. Why? ‘Crystals vibrate at an elevated frequency, promoting increased cellular energy and microcirculation,’ explains Kristin Petrovich, Founder of holistic-meets-biotechnical skincare brand Själ. ‘This helps direct energy to specific areas of need, allowing for maximum performance and benefits.’ And while you’re at it, let your skincare boost your mind, too: ‘Using the correct gemstone helps to balance and stabilise our moods,’ adds Co-Founder of Prismologie, Fatima Al-Sabah, whose products incorporate crushed gemstones. Spiritual skincare just stepped up, and we want to reap the good vibes.
