The aesthetic and energetic power of crystals and minerals have been known and used for thousands of years! Ancient civilizations, like the Egyptians and the Chinese, have used gemstones in skincare since the dawn of recorded history.
Known as electro-stimulants, minerals in gemstones function as semi-conductors for your skin! This is essential to increasing cellular productivity, performance, repair and penetration the skin while leveraging the effects of any other ingredients.
TONING
You can infuse filtered water with gemstones, minerals and crystals. The elevated frequency emitted from gemstones and precious minerals helps direct energy to specific areas of need, constantly adapting to your skin under any condition, allowing for maximum performance and benefits.
How To:
Add your crystals to filtered water
Let the crystals sunbathe or moonbathe for 5-10 mins at a time (so the water doesn’t evaporate)
Remove the crystals
Transfer the water to a spray bottle
Spritz on your skin to heal, replenish and refresh!
MASKING
Use your crystal toning water as the base for your face mask! This infuses your skin with extra mineral healing powers, which goes straight into your bloodstream.How To:
Add the crystal water to a bowl
Add your favorite powdered mask
Mix to a muddy consistency
Use a fan brush to gently paint the mask onto your face
Wash with filtered water

DIY Recipe:
Step One: Find your Ingredients and tools to use
Micronized Titanium Dioxide
Zinc Oxide
Sericite Mica - Matte Finish
Magnesium Stearate
Yellow, Red & Brown Iron Oxide Pigments
Jojoba Oil
Vitamin E Oil
Essential Oil (opt.) I like carrot seed oil for its skin-rejuvenative properties, or tea-tree oil as an excellent treatment for acne
Mortar & Pestle or small grinder
30g (1oz) Sifter Jars
measuring spoons
Kabuki brush (large full brush for foundation)
Makes approximately (3)-30 gram jars (3 oz)
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In the mortar or grinder, combine:
8 tsp Micronized Titanium Dioxide
3 tsp Sericite Mica
4 tsp Zinc Oxide
1 tsp Magnesium Stearate
1/2 - 1 tsp Yellow Iron Oxide
1/16 tsp Brown Iron Oxide
Pinch of Red Iron Oxide
Take time smashing it up with your pestle/grinder. It won't seem like it's doing much at first, but slowly you'll start to see your color emerge. Continue smashing until it looks uniform.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
Add the following to the mixture:
1/4 tsp Jojoba Oil
5 drops Vitamin E Oil
4-8 drops any essential oil
Smash again, making sure to distribute the liquids evenly. They'll appear to just get swallowed up by the minerals, but remember that they need to be worked around until you have a uniform mixture.
Now add 1 tsp. Sericite Mica for a nice matte finish.
TO TWEAK THE COLOR: Change the tint by adding more of any of the iron oxides. Add more titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or sericite mica if you desire a lighter overall shade. Make note of your additions/changes so that you can duplicate when necessary.
Step Four: Transfer
This is the step to transfer your miracle mixture into a usable container! Using a funnel, transfer foundation powder into a 30 gr sifter jar for easy application.
EARTHY PERFECTION!
