Crystals and skincare: The ultimate guide to picking out the one for YOUR specific needs

Adele. Kim Kardashian West. Kylie Jenner. Bella Hadid. Victoria Beckham. Madonna. Katy Perry. Miranda Kerr. Naomi Campbell. Anne Hathaway. Jennifer Anniston. Gwyneth Paltrow. Reese Witherspoon.

Yes, we get it… celebrities love healing crystals. One may go as far as to say that they are addicted to healing crystals.

Adele believes all the technical issues that ruined her Grammys performance were a result of losing her crystals. Victoria Beckham carries black tourmaline (wards off negative energies) and rose quartz (encourages love and self esteem) backstage for all her fashion shows. Katy Perry would sleep with a rose quartz in her hand to heal from her breakup with Russell Brand (“I didn’t stay single for long). Kim Kardashian credits healing crystals with helping her recover from the Paris robbery.

And it’s with good reason. The healing powers of crystals have been well documented in almost every system of holistic medicine, including Ayurveda, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Hopi Native American and even biblical texts from the Old Testament.

How did crystals become the hottest rocks on the block?

Personally, I have always been attracted to crystals. As a child, my mother remembers me reaching for anything with a twinkle of rose quartz. Which now makes sense, since the stone of unconditional love and acceptance would be intuitively very grounding for a child whose parents were constantly moving across continents due to my father’s work.

Growing up in California, my stone of choice was pyrite – the “fools gold” found in the deserts of Nevada – a huge block of which still sits on my desk. I find myself reaching for it whenever work needs an extra boost.

And with every shiny, sparkly, pretty stone that I place around my home, in my pocket, under my pillow or in my handbag, I find myself understanding the healing powers of crystals a little more.

They have nothing to do with magic or miracles. In fact, it all boils down to the science of vibrations. Nicholas Tesla and IBM’s Marcel Joseph Vogel, two pioneers of modern science, are just some of the scientists whose deep belief in the healing power of crystals led them to research and advance the field considerably.

This is how it works: Everything in the universe has a specific vibration, including humans. And the earth. And crystals.

Crystals, in fact, literally hold the earth’s DNA, being millions of years old and forming alongside the earth itself. Created from the most ancient minerals, laid down deep underground, subjected to enormous pressure, they have evolved with the energies of the earth. And their unique, lattice-like atomic structure means they hold this energy at the core, continuously vibrating at a certain frequency that is unique to each kind of crystal.

For humans who mindfully engage with these vibrations, crystals can act as a tuning fork to recalibrate the mind, body and soul, helping us become more balanced.

Science explains this as “piezoelectricity”: The electric charge that accumulates in certain solid matters. And it’s this piezoelectricity that is responsible for the abundance of crystals in the field of electronics, with uses ranging from holding heat to boosting vibrations in computers and watches.

Beauty and crystals: Overhyped? Or major healer?

So, yes, I feel the energy of crystals is real. But as more and more beauty brands turn to crystal therapy, one can’t help but wonder… does popping rose quartz into a moisturiser actually help our skin? Will filtering that serum through a chunk of amethyst help it moisturise better?

Informed beauty experts definitely think so. From Kora and Aveda to Själ, Dr. Brandt, Herbivore Botanicals, Therapie, 111, The Body Shop, Sisley, Nails Inc, Eve Lom, Tata Harper, Glossier, Nurse Jamie, Tracie Martin Beauty, Espa and Dr. Hauschka, it seems every beauty brand in the world is devoted to healing your skin and hair with crystals.

And the rationale makes sense: When crystals are part of the ingredient mix, they act as a conduit for healing, helping your cells thrive on an energetic level. They allow positive, healing energy to flow into the body, while pushing negative, toxic, disease causing energy out, thereby curing skin problems at the root.

Still a sceptic? Look at it this way: Most crystal-infused skincare products tend to be ultra-natural, sustainable and hand crafted. So even if you’re not sure about the crystals, you’re getting a product that’s clean and made with ingredients that are far better than harsh chemicals and plastics. That has to count for something, right?

How to use healing crystals in skincare

So, how do you use crystals for skincare? I mean, it’s not really viable to melt down our collection and pour it into bottles, right? Thankfully, it’s far easier than you may think.

Infuse your beauty products with crystals: This can be as simple as dropping a piece of rose quartz into your current moisturiser; and as DIY as making a gemstone elixir. The latter involves putting your crystal in a jar of carrier oil (I use Mason Jars and olive oil), then placing them in sunlight for 3-4 days. The crystal’s elemental energies will gradually imprint onto the oil, which can then be used for the face, body or hair.

Water-based elixirs: These can be drunk or used as a spray to heal and balance the body from the inside out. And these “high vibration” waters aren’t new by any standards… history shows that the ancient Greeks dropped gemstones in the bottom of their water jugs.

How to make a water elixir? Place your crystal in a glass jar of distilled water. Put this in sunlight for 7-8 hours, then gently scoop out the crystal and store the water in your refrigerator. But be careful: Always remember to check the crystal’s toxicity and solubility before making a water elixir.

Plate it: Another simple way of infusing your beauty products with the healing energy of crystals is to place all your tubes and bottles on a crystal plate. My vanity, at this point, is basically just slabs of rose quartz, amethyst and selenite, the three crystals I resonate with the most.

The science of touch: You can also use crystals for massaging the skin, thereby transferring the stone’s healing energy to the body. This is evidenced by the immense popularity of jade rollers and rose quartz gua-sha tools, which promise to energise and lift the skin by releasing tension and draining the lymph nodes of accumulated toxins. Some DIY options? Massaging a moonstone on your scalp to boost hair growth and rubbing a damp amethyst over blemishes to help calm them down.

Grind it down: This one requires some professional help, and usually makes for a great exfoliator that pulls out negative energies and toxins from the skin. That’s where brands like People for Plants come in, micro-grinding the crystals into the products on their own. Game? I am a personal fan of Aquarian Source’s Rose Quartz Face Polish, which follows from the ancient Egyptian practise of using these pretty pink crystals as a softening buff.

Make it up: Then there’s the makeup. Again this comes from a long line of crystal history… ancient Egyptians used malachite and lapis lazuli to produce makeup, which was believed to have healing properties. And as Glossier’s Haloscope Highlighter, whose outer ring of micronised topaz proves, nothing sparkles like actual crystals. Ditto for Nails Inc Mindful Manicure Polish, which contains flecks of citrine, rose quartz and tourmaline. My favorites, though, have to be Peridot Cosmetics’ Loose Gemstone Highlighters, which come sprinkled over tubs of clear quartz, rose quartz, citrine, lodolite or goldstone. I’ve never seen prettier powders.

Crystals for skincare: The ULTIMATE guide to picking out the one for your specific needs

Navigating the crystal maze

Like with all ingredients, different crystals do different things and you need to do your research. Malachite, for example, is believed to combat UV damage by raising the level of gluthathione, a “master antioxidant”, in the skin.

Rose quartz, on the other hand, softens fine lines, buffs away dead cells and impurities, and calms redness.

Stuck in the crystal maze? Let’s make it easy for you with a ready reckoner.

Amethyst: Combats EMF (electromagnetic fog), detoxifies, brings down inflammation, calms the skin, soothes acne, itching and other skin irritations

Malachite: Combats UV damage and free radicals, deep cleanses

White tourmaline: Revitalises the skin, imparts radiance, anti-ageing, shields against environmental stresses, increases blood flow

Black tourmaline: Calms stressed or irritated skin

Moonstone: Soothes sensitive skin, hormonal breakouts, imparts youthful glow, stimulates hair growth

Jade: Balances combination skin, boosts circulation, shields against environmental stresses

Ruby: Nourishes ultra-dry skin, detoxifies, heals acne, cleanses the blood

Turquoise: Combats pollution

Diamond: Smoothes away wrinkles, strengthens nails

Rose quartz: Softens fine lines, buffs away dead cells and impurities, calms redness

Emerald: Deep cleanses, detoxifies, balances combination and irritated skin

Hematite: Energise tired eyes

Aquamarine: Soothes eczema and rosacea

Scolecite: Boosts circulation, relaxes the skin tissues

Clear quartz: Bring the body into balance, neutralises toxins and electromagnetic smog

Do you believe in the healing power of crystals? Which one’s your pick?

What does a croissant themed candle smell like? More specifically, what does @overosefragrances Croissant candle smell like? 🥐🥐🥐🥐⁣
⁣
To me, it’s the smell of the cozy Parisian viennoseries in the small by-lanes that open out on the Seine river. It’s the smell of a golden, buttery, flaky croissant straight out of the oven. You pick it up from the bakery, tucked in a paper envelope, and walk out to the Le Pont Alexandre-III bridge that spans the river from the Left Bank to the Right Bank. From La Rive Gauche to La Rive Droit. From the Paris of Picasso and Matisse to the Paris of Chanel and Dior. 🇫🇷🇫🇷⁣
⁣
There, as you lean against one of the bronze candelabras, you slowly peel back the paper and take that first, all-encompassing bite as the sun starts to spread its rays across this magnificent city. ☀️🌅⁣
⁣
Your nose inhales the aroma of fresh butter, churned to golden perfection and folded into the heady, yeasty dough. Every bite releases a fragrance that cannot be replicated with anything else and you don’t even mind the crumbs falling on your shirt. Life is perfect for the moment. 🥐🥐🥐🥐⁣
⁣
And that’s what the Overose Croissant candle smells like to me. A moment that’s replete with the alchemy of the world’s finest butter and flaky, airy dough, mingling with the inimitable romance of Paris as it comes to life with the first rays of the morning sun. A moment when life is perfect.⁣
⁣
⁣
What’s YOUR perfect moment? ❤️⁣

If you’ve ever been stuck for a gift for someone, all you need to know is their zodiac sign. The time-tested astronomical science of sun signs is a great way of gaining a sneak peek into someone’s personality – and it has yet to fail me. Ever. So, talking perfumes this time ’round, let’s figure out what to gift that Pisces sister-in-law or Gemini co-worker that’s sure to hit the right spot.⁣

@ra_shizzle welcome to the crazy Charan family. I have not stopped simultaneously jumping, grinning and crying happy tears since Friday. You not only complete @abhichar… you are also the missing piece of US. You are such a gorgeous, lovely, beautiful person and I could not be happier to share in your forevers (yes, @dhananjaymorarji and I are part of the package deal!). 😬😬😬😬⁣

@abhichar, she’s truly your lobster! I am so happy that words fail me. And you know, THAT rarely happens. So, to slightly re-quote my favourite author, “… whatever your souls are made of, yours and hers are the same.”⁣

Just wait till we gang up against you, though – I have been waiting TWO DECADES for that to happen. So, watch out now 😈😈⁣

Jokes apart, you are the very best brother in the world. And I am missing you soooooooooo much. Till we meet – hopefully soon! - here’s raising the biggest, sparkliest toast to both of you 🥂🥂🍾🍾❤️❤️

Monday work desk situation:⁣

Fresh flowers: Always. ⁣
⁣
@oneoceanbeauty Blue Light Protection + Hydration Mist: Because blue light skin damage is very, very real. And a mist that packs protection against this particular form of premature ageing with providing deep hydration  is a win-win in my book 👩🏻‍💻💧⁣
⁣
@thelordjones Royal Oil: With 1000 mg of broad spectrum CBD, it truly helps my anxiety issues. And no, it doesn’t leave me buzzed or even a little bit high… just calmer, more relaxed, more able to handle the situation (which, today, is 893654837 deadlines all at once).⁣
⁣
@lamer The Hand Treatment: Dry hands are uncomfortable. Sticky, greasy hands make it difficult to work on the computer. Plus, I am paranoid about grease transferring onto my MacBook as it stains the finish and you just never manage to get rid of it! This hand cream is lightweight, easy to absorb and super-hydrating 🙌🏻🙌🏻⁣

@freshbeauty Hydrating Lip Balms: The only lip balms I end up repurchasing repeatedly because they make my lips feel SO good. And they are delicious (the caramel one is all the taste bud delights of chocolate without the calories!). AND they are the perfect touch-up tint for Zoom calls!⁣

Everything is going nuts but I’m just going to sit here and pretend it’s Christmas and all is well with the world. First up, sorting through Christmas ornaments (too early?). Second, ordering my first apple pie for the season. And third, making it feel like the holidays are literally in the air with Diptyque’s Winter Collection candles.⁣
⁣
I mean, how GORGEOUS are these? Honestly, I think these are the most stunning candles that Diptyque has ever done – and they have done quite a few beauties. ⁣
⁣
The winter collection is all about three marvellous beasts coming to life on a snowy Parisian night and setting off towards the city’s most famous landmarks. ❄️🌨🌨❄️⁣
⁣
There’s the majestic lion in the Tuileries Garden – a bold floral bouquet of rare roses warmed with cinnamon and spices. 🦁🦁🦁🦁⁣
⁣
A mysterious swan spreading its wings over the Buttes-Chaumont Park (this one’s my favorite) – a comforting cocoon of orange, cinnamon, ginger and amber. 🦢🦢🦢🦢⁣
⁣
And the loyal deer leaping through Place Vendôme – sweeping through a glacial forest of fir trees, eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint. 🦌🦌🦌🦌⁣
⁣
All my memories of Paris, swept into gorgeous artwork by Ugo Gattoni and fragranced by Diptyque. And all the candles are screen printed, so there shall be no peeling away of the artworks (and this is literally art) even if you burn them through the day.⁣
⁣
Which I fully intend, so pardon me while I go and stock up on full size versions! They are limited edition after all… so once they are gone, they are GONE.⁣
⁣
When do YOU start doing the Christmas things? And is it all right to pretend the holidays are coming earlier this year as a form of self preservation?

It’s been a really long time since I’ve been excited about a makeup launch. First, because who’s wearing makeup nowadays? And second, everything in the market is so repetitive. ⁣
⁣
But... BYREDO! I mean, it’s not like the brand isn’t already known for being super cool but the makeup is in another league altogether. 👀👀⁣
⁣
I know everyone’s been salivating over the interestingly shaped mascara (it’s inspired by a horn… get your mind straight!) and the multi-sticks. But I’ll always gravitate towards the lipsticks and eyeliners because that’s my prime vibe. ⁣
⁣
And the lipstick is LUSCIOUS. I mean, first there’s the silver-gold metallic case that’s inspired by bamboos. Weighty, luxe, sculptural and with a super-satisfying magnetic click… it looks amazing on my vanity and would totally be a conversation starter. AND it smells like violets and vanilla. 💋💄💄💋⁣
⁣
In fact, I constantly keep playing with it… almost like a stress ball 😬⁣
⁣
I have Lascaux, a deep, matte burgundy that’s super-pigmented. It sort of melts into my lips and wears for a decent 6-7 hours with multiple beverages passing my lips. But it does transfer onto things that touch your lips and is also a bit drying… though the latter is most matte lipsticks for me.⁣
⁣
As for the eyeliner, I know the Kelly-green packaging doesn’t look that exciting but the formula itself is perfection. Through her years of doing makeup, @isamayaffrench knew to make the tip much shorter than the average liner, giving you greater control. Plus, it’s smudge-proof and humidity resistant – and clean, like the rest of the line. 💚⁣
⁣
My only worry is the screw top packaging… I live in fear of opening it the wrong way ‘round and ending up with a lot of black stuff on my hands⁣
⁣
In short, if you are in the market for an eyeliner, this one is superb. If not, I would concentrate on the lipsticks. Or the multi- sticks, if you love playing with a bold palette. ⁣
⁣
Tell me, are YOU wearing much makeup nowadays?

If you’ve been here a while, you know I am obsessed with candles. Especially ones that both look gorgeous and smell gorgeous. Have lately been loving this one from RLI London, a young candle brand that makes the most dreamy votives.⁣
⁣
There are three candles in their capsule collection – Capri Blue, Up in the Andes and R(h)ome. And they have all been inspired by local flowers and scents from founder Rachele’s travels. ⁣
⁣
This one is Capri Blue (which you probably guessed, given all the blue!) and it smells of rippling sea waters, salt-kissed skin, and citrus trails. Fresh, breezy and energising… like a perfect summer’s day on the Italian coast. Pure escapism! 🌊🌊🌊🌊⁣
⁣
And I really love the little details. Like the colored wax that matches the jar and the romantic line drawing by @cecilia_carlstedt. It’s going to be #upcycled into the most eye catching vase once the wax is gone. Which is going to be pretty soon, since I’m burning it every single day! 💙⁣

While everyone has been busy fussing over Gucci’s new bronzing powders, I have been obsessed with their summer capsule collection of nail polishes. 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼⁣
⁣
There are five in total, each one dedicated to iconic movies and characters from the Hollywood’s golden era. And they make for really happy nails… ! ⁣
⁣
Anyone who knows me wouldn’t be surprised that I rightaway gravitated to the more offbeat colors – Melinda Green and Dorothy Turquoise. And they are soooooooo PRETTY!!!!!! 💚💙💙💚⁣
⁣
The green is not as lime-neon as it looks in the bottle… it’s more of a leafy shade, I would say. But just that much “extra” to make a person look twice. 💚💚⁣
⁣
And the blue is very Breakfast at Tiffanys, so guess it’s going to get a lot of real estate on my nails this season. (Swipe for swatches). 💙💙⁣
⁣
The bottles themselves are pure love, with a 1950s retro vibe that’s luxe in a very minimalistic fashion. It reminds me of the (now vintage) nail polishes that I would steal from my grandmother’s dresser as a kid. And that makes me feel grown up and nostalgic all at once⁣
⁣
But what actually surprised me was the formula itself. Colors are relatively easier to mix up but Gucci has really gone all out on the formulation. Like all ‘polishes that I test, these were applied without any base or top coat and they glided over so smoothly that I don’t think you need any of that stuff at all! Which is a first for me. 💪🏻⁣
⁣
Today is the fourth day of wear and there’s not a single chip even after all the hand washing and sanitisers (swipe to see). Plus, the brush head is wide and squat, which makes it easy to apply the color – a boon, since it’s going to be a while before nail salons become a part of our regular existence again. 😳⁣
⁣
Also, they took about two minutes to air dry – again, without any top coat to help them along!⁣
⁣
I am seriously really very impressed.⁣

I must have worn a lipstick about 4 times in the past 3 months (hello masks!) and yet keep collecting them like crazy. And maybe it’s just not me? The simple lipstick is a curious phenomenon. From being seen as a sign of Satan worship and being the province of prostitutes to becoming markers of wealth and an indictor of the economy (#lipstickindex), they are more than “just” makeup. 💄💄💄💄⁣
⁣
And where, in historic times, they were used in secret chambers and with great subterfuge, today it’s THE thing to whip out a gorgeous lipstick case in public to freshen up your look. Lipstick cases, in fact, are the latest ‘It-accessories’ of our times with everyone from Hermès to Gucci competing for the most sculptural, almost museum worthy, effects. 💋👄⁣

The best ones, where I am concerned, are those that combine form and function. And out of the 642652986298 that I currently possess, these are the top four that both look stunning and work brilliantly!⁣

If makeup is supposed to make you feel happy, these limited edition beauties have had me grinning ever since they landed on my desk. And I’m not even that into cats 😻😽⁣
⁣
But Paul & Joe, the uber-chic beauty brand from France definitely does, and cats have become a signature motif for them. And they do them ADORABLY, don’t you think? Case in point: this ‘Bratty Cat’ (love the name) lipstick, which has the pigment in a cat-shaped core running through the tube, encased by a clear glossy base made from jojoba oil, macadamia nut oil, and lavender oil for a glossy and hydrating finish. Swipe to see a closeup 💋⁣

Then there’s the Face & Eye Color palette, which is simply precious. Total summer vibes. ⁣

I am really, really bad at switching off and am trying to stay away from my laptop on Sundays. Because I realised that a reset is needed, otherwise I am usually collapsing in a  heap of stress and exhaustion after a couple of weeks.

That and a good book, while tucked into bed early, sheets drawn up to the chin and a candle flickering softly in the shadows. ⁣
