55 Beauty Products Infused with Healing Crystals
Amethyst
"Every crystal has a different vibration, a different healing energy that works with our own chemistry to help restore our bodies to their highest potential," says Ally Sands, herbalist and founder of natural beauty brand Aquarian Soul + Earth Oils. In the case of amethyst, it's all about getting rid of negativity, says expert Krista Mitchell. "It boosts intuition, wards off negative vibes, and protects us from having nightmares," she says. "It's also a powerful crystal of change and healing, as it supports us in tuning out the negative self-talk and critic we all have in our minds." The impact it has on anxiety makes Aquarian Soul's almond oil-based Headache Magic rollerball a deskside staple for stress-induced twinges--not to mention boosts the relaxing power of a bath filled with Therapie Roques O'Neil's gem-infused salts.

Diamond
"The diamond is a stone of leadership, domination, empowerment, nobility, achievement, success, wealth, and entitlement. It's winner take all, go big or go home energy," Mitchell says. Plus, This power complex stems from its physical properties—since diamonds are the hardest gems around, it's also a great strengthening and exfoliating ingredient. JINsoon's Power Coat uses diamond particles to help strengthen nails, while skincare products like this La Prairie cleanser and Knesko's eye masks use it to slough off dead cells and/or brighten what's left.

Garnet
"Garnet brings your sexy back," Mitchell says. "It's a potent crystal of passion, sensuality, beauty, luxury, and wisdom. When wearing garnet you want—and can have—it all." It's the idea behind Lotus Wei's aromatherapeutic, rosewood and orange-scented Joy Juice, which is definitely worth keeping around for when you're looking to set the mood. But the fact that garnet is also a relatively soft stone means it makes a great gentle exfoliant, as exemplified by the face scrubs from The Body Shop, Mineral Fusion, and People for Plants.

Malachite
This green stone is pretty, but take caution: "It can wreak havoc on your emotions," Mitchell says. "It brings up old, repressed emotion that needs to be faced and felt, and does it quickly." But though the healing can be painful, it does have a reward. "Once you have faced and healed old wounds, you have greater access to your power, your talent, your gifts and potential." With this in mind, it's kind of poetic that many products containing malachite extract are physical cleansers as well. Wipe the day away with Kerstin Forian's antioxidant-packed makeup remover, followed by a thorough cleansing with Clinica Ivo Pitanguy's three-product program. Give your locks the same care with Mineral Fusion's volumizing shampoo, which also contains hydrating Argan oil.

Pearl
Pearl has long since been a staple in cosmetics, thanks to its major brightening abilities—not to mention that it's quickly becoming a popular diet supplement as well. "It's a beautifying cell builder; basically a white magic powder which releases essential trace minerals into the blood stream for longevity, joy, and a serious glow, as well as bone and cell building," says Amanda Chantal Bacon, founder of Hollywood superfood haven Moon Juice. "Pearl is your golden ticket to getting hair, skin, and nails in shape." Mitchell adds that, in addition to being the stone of beauty, it's also representative of the divine feminine. Find luminescence and embrace your inner goddess with shimmery eyeshadow from ByTerry, or perhaps Belmacz' illuminating oyster pearl powder. Mix Moon Juice's magical superfood powders into a smoothie or iced coffee to get the glow from the inside out.

Quartz
"Quartz is the 'wild card' of the crystal kingdom," Mitchell says. "It adds energy to everything and anything. It's a crystal of clarity, focus, and psychic ability." Maybe set the intention for a kick-ass work week and spritz some of the quartz-infused waters by Aquarian Soul or Midnight Collective in your office space. (The Palo Santo scent of the latter is heavenly.) Or, envision a glowing complexion and amplify that goal with the help of Bliss' clay mask or Elemis' collagen-boosting serum.

Rhodochrosite
"Rhodochrosite is often referred to as a 'soulmate' stone, as it's believed to attract your one true love," Mitchell says. On the flipside, if you're going through a nasty split, an at-home primping night could be well-deserved for more reasons than one. "It's also the crystal to work with when you're ready to recover from a break up, loss, wound, or trauma," she says. "It attracts love into our lives after we've done this work, when we can be back in a more loving, whole, and empowered place in our hearts." And with glowing, wrinkle-free skin to boot.

Rose Quartz
"It's physicalized love energy. It boosts feelings of self-love, self-worth; it has a warm, embracing, nurturing energy." Plus, she adds, "It helps us to slow down and appreciate more of the beauty and wonder that is around us, as well as our own gifts that we bring to the world." It's for these reasons that Miranda Kerr consistently infuses products from her Kora Organics line with rose quartz. And naturally, these vibes pair well with rose flowers, which is a featured scent in many of these products. Show yourself some love by exfoliating with de Mamiel's skin-polishing potion, followed by Shiva Rose's luscious body oil.

Ruby
"Ruby puts you in your power seat and keeps you there," Mitchell says. "It has a grounding, sustaining vibration that is great for people who work hard, cope with a lot of stress, and feel chronically fatigued. It's also great for people who are working on their postures, because it's energy reminds us to stand up tall and face the world head on!" Do it with your best face forward by starting with Dr. Brandt's correcting cream, followed with a dusting of Eve Lom's glow-y mineral powder. Finish things off with bareMinerals' mascara waterproofing top coat.

Sapphire
"Sapphire is a stone of intellect, logic, and empowered linear thinking," Mitchell says. "Its energy helps us to stay organized, on top of things, troubleshoot effectively, and stay clear of drama. Think Spock." Start the day off clearly—mentally and physically—by giving your face a boost with Lionesse or Sjal's skin balancing serums, and pass around NCLA's moisturizing, crystal-infused hand cream at the start of your next board meeting.

Smithsonite
Still feeling a tad skeptical? Consider smithsonite. "It's a great stone to work with for people who are committed to developing and opening their psychic abilities, but are also afraid of what they might see or experience," Mitchell says. "Smithsonite has a soothing, enveloping vibration that eases us into a state of openness, relaxation, and awareness." Prime yourself for the process (literally) with MAKE's smoothing makeup base, or see if donning MyChelle's chamomile-infused mask puts you into that meditative state of mind.

Tourmaline
On the mend? Throw on Herbivore Botanicals' brightening clay mask or spray a bit of Poppy & Someday's intoxicating Marfa Moon Mist to help speed along the process. "Tourmaline channels the healing essence of nature," Mitchell says. "People who have suffered a lot of hardship, loss, and emotional pain in their lives, and who have developed heart and lung conditions as a result, benefit tremendously from working with this crystal. It's also great for anti-aging." Aveda's Tourmaline-Charged Hydrating Cream, which similarly touts botanicals that target and plump fine lines, can also help with that.
