We’ll get into the origins of crystal healing, crystal skincare benefits, and how you can bring the magic of crystals to your skincare line. Follow us on Instagram for more skincare trend updates, and let’s get into it!
How Do Crystals Improve Energetic Well-being?
Crystals are historically used to balance the seven energetic chakras centered along the spinal cord (Source). In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “wheel” and refers to the energetic sources of each chakra (Source). Each chakra has its own symbolic purpose and is located near major nerve and organ locations in the body (Source).
The seven chakras are the crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and root (Source). Check out this article from Healthline to learn more about each individual chakra!
Those that are brave enough to embark on their spiritual journey implement crystals in their meditation practices to boost positive energy and accelerate their chakra alignment. Traditionally, the process of balancing your chakras requires the “unblocking” of each chakra. Crystals are powerful tools to aid you throughout your spiritual journey, or to simply bring more peace and balance into your life.
If your chakras are unbalanced, you may experience energetic obstacles corresponding to whichever chakra is experiencing a blockage. For example, if you are having trouble speaking your mind or standing up for yourself, some would say that this is an indication of a blocked throat chakra! How do you go about unblocking your chakras? This is where crystals come in.
Similar to chakras, crystals are regarded as energy sources. There is a vast array of crystals to choose from—each having their own unique energetic benefit. In the pursuit of balancing your chakras, crystals are the perfect spiritual tool!
Spiritual practitioners implement crystals by creating a safe, peaceful space for meditation and placing crystals on or near the chakra energy points along the body. The ritual should be entirely personal—you have the freedom to create whatever space feels the most comfortable for you to relax. Take your time and enjoy the relaxation and let the crystals work their magic!
“Crystal healing and gemstones build on the idea that by surrounding yourself with positive vibrations you can re-align the flow of energy to build a more positive therapeutic result.”
Why Are Crystals Beneficial For Skincare?
Barbara Close–a holistic beauty expert–says, “I personally believe that in order to address specific skin concerns, we must address the physical and energetic body,” (Source). The energy-balancing crystals work together with your favorite skincare ingredients to create a well-rounded routine that caters to your energetic and physical health.
An easy way to incorporate crystals into your skincare routine would be to use gua shas or jade rollers to apply your skincare products. The smooth, cooling effects of the stones—coupled with their energetic healing—reduce wrinkles and fight off facial swelling.
Some skincare enthusiasts also place small pieces of crystals into their serum bottles to infuse their skincare products with the healing benefits of their favorite crystals.
Finally, there is a selection of crystals and gemstones that can be used as extracts within the formula themselves. Keep reading to learn more about the crystal and gemstone extracts that are available to add to your skincare product!
Just like the spiritual journey of balancing your chakras, your skincare routine is unique to you and should cater to your individual needs. The intersection of energetic alignment and self-care creates a skincare routine that is healing to the body and soul.
