Crystals in skin care products?! Yip, that’s right! Here are 5 Revolutionary facts that’ll make your skin glisten
Exquisite jewellery. Expensively-carved wine glasses. Elegance. Glittering beauty. Class!
Up until very recently, these would have been the words which would come to mind if anyone said ‘Crystal.’ However, I was completely blown away to discover this gemstone’s versatility also extends to skin care products.
You heard right - Crystals are literally being infused into everyday lotions and soaps!
To understand this practice, we need to travel back in time, to an era of ancient dynasties (such as China and India) whose crystal-healing traditions have long held Quartz Crystal in high regard. It was with this knowledge in mind that ANAS Crystal Care, a skincare company based in Amsterdam, (who developed their own Crystal Technology, combining Crystals and Volcanic Water within their product line) opted to raise the bar and revolutionalise cosmetics as we know it.
Now you may be wondering - what does a piece of Crystal bring to my skincare ritual, and what does the formula do for my skin?
Here is what we discovered, and why it may inspire your very own holistic beauty ritual.
YOUR SKIN IS CARED FOR
First things first, our body needs to be safeguarded, and as our frontline defence, the skin has to be in tip-top shape so as to do this crucial job. According to dermatologist Dr. Heidi Kong, “the skin provides a barrier to protect the body from invasion by bacteria and other possible environmental hazards that can be dangerous for human health.” As protection is an important factor, it bodes well to learn that ANAS formulas are made to care for the skin’s natural barrier, with a real Quartz Crystal in every product as part of the ritual.
YOUR SKIN IS HYDRATED
YOUR SKIN IS NOURISHED
The US National Institutes of Health give us a great biology reminder in that the core functionalities of the skin, which is the body’s largest organ based on its size, are firstly to retain body fluids (without this, we would dehydrate), and secondly, to help stave off harmful microbes. This is why dermatologists the world over would advocate for proper skin care, which helps keep our skin’s outermost layers comfortable and well cared for every day. We need therefore the right products to help us in this ongoing battle. Why scour the planet...okay, the cosmetic aisles...for synthetic creams, gels, you name it, when we can opt for a solution which has been forging in the heart of nature for centuries? Silica is naturally present in Volcanic Water, and Quartz Crystal itself is made of silica. Minerals like silica have been valued in skincare since antiquity for helping skin feel hydrated and soft.
YOUR SKIN IS PROTECTING MOTHER EARTH!
Yes, you read that correctly. Not only do your Crystal-Infused skin care products care for your skin, but by utilising one of the lotions or soaps manufactured by companies such as ANAS Crystal Care, you are indirectly playing an impactful role in the protection of Mother nature! In a world which is growing ever more environmentally-conscious, we as consumers need to pay closer attention to the way in which our goods are made. “The (manufacturing) method applied...does not require prior extraction of metallic ions from the Crystals with physicochemical processes that are energy-consuming nor the use of additional chemicals to stabilise the formula. ANAS method includes exclusively natural sources and natural processes. This means that the production method is designed to keep its environmental impact low. On top of that, all Crystals come from sustainable mines and all ingredients are ethically sourced.” ANAS Crystal Care

While affording genuine Crystal ornaments and dishware may not be possible for some, many might be amazed to find that this skincare line, made possible particularly from ANAS Crystal Care, will make your purse smile. It’s hard to imagine that body lotions and soaps with actual pieces of Quartz Crystal infused within them are competitively priced and can become go-to household products which will care for your skin each day!
All in all, we thought it best to share these words with you, not only to illuminate your mind in the event you hadn’t heard of Crystal-based beauty products, but also as a great reminder of the need for us, the world over, to implement daily self-care. This practice is not only essential for our minds and inner wellbeing, but the way in which we treat our bodies is vital.
