Victoria Beckham has secret pockets in her pants to carry her crystals, Adele uses them to combat stage fright, Katy Perry credits rose quartz for her man magnetism and Kim Kardashian used healing crystals to cleanse negative energy after her Paris robbery. Celebrities are officially obsessed with crystals, and now it seems the beauty world is, too.
Beauty brands and influencers are finding ways to incorporate crystals not only in their insta feeds but also their product formulations and skin care regimes. Gritty Pretty Founder Eleanor Pendleton is a fan of using a jade roller and supermodel Miranda Kerr is a rose quartz devotee. Along with using a rose quartz gua sha (a heart shape facial massaging stone) as part of her skin care regime to combat puffiness, Kerr’s skin care line KORA Organics filters all of its products through rose quartz to infuse the line with the vibration of self-love. Nice, huh?
Crystals in the salon.
Upon arrival at Venustus, Sydney beauty apothecary Jeannie Burke encourages clients to choose crystals to incorporate into their skin and body treatments.
“Clients could hold these or we might place them on their face or body – wherever feels intuitively right.” Burke, who trained as a crystal healer twenty years ago, says adding energy work to enhance her clients experience felt very natural.
“Two years ago we started using jade rollers in the salon. We keep them in the fridge for use after waxing, threading and tweezing to calm inflammation. We also use them for lymphatic drainage of the face and neck when clients are concerned with puffiness.”
