Crystals can be used for a variety of reasons, such as clearing energy or as ornamental earth-grown chachki’s that help to set ‘a vibe’.

But one crystal use you may not have been aware of, is that many cutting-edge skin care formulations are now utilising these hunks of mineral to target real-life skin issues.

Don’t believe us? Gems like ruby, diamond and malachite are just some of the glam inclusions in these four skin-refining formulas that retexture, refresh and revitalise.

For a gleaming complexion that beams just as bright as the jewels responsible for your glow, here are some crystal-infused skin care picks:

But it doesn’t stop there; this potent exfoliator also contains seaweed extract and hyaluronic acid which actively rehydrates and plumps skin while you scrub.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
