Gemstones in your skin care?
Wednesday, November 21, 2018 IST
One has often heard the saying, ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ and it seems now their value goes beyond just jewellery. The precious stone is one of many being infused in face masks, serums and creams for its collagen-boosting properties. Gemology, a Parisian cosmetics line, creates innovative beauty products based on trace elements extracted from precious and semi-precious stones.
These — iron, zinc, magnesium and copper — have demonstrated their efficacy to repair and protect, fight against free radicals and regulate the secretion of sebum. The brainchild of Chrystelle Lannoy, a beauty enthusiast and lover of gemstones, she combined these interests to develop the properties of 20 precious and semi-precious minerals and launch her brand, more than 10 years ago. Drawing on the skin-enhancing characteristics of natural minerals, she has created various products to address different skin concerns.
Gregory Gohill, Gemology India Manager, explains that one of the prime issues faced by men and women today is dehydration due to climate change, constant exposure to air conditioning, and not drinking enough water which leaves the skin looking dull and tired. “We offer various facials to cater to different skin types and skin issues. These are recommended once a month, including a Blue Amber treatment to make the skin brighter and firmer, an Amethyst facial for combination skin that tightens and a Jade one that improves the youthfulness of the complexion. A White Pearl treatment is much in demand for those wanting to brighten their skin, while the Diamond anti-ageing care hydrates and restructures the skin,” he says.
Aside from using these specialised skin products, (there’s an exclusive range for men too), the face is also massaged along the cheeks and jawlines, with precious stones such as rose quartz for a unique sensorial experience. These are first immersed in warm water and then used. This helps open up the pores and lets the serum penetrate deeper, helping the skin to regain vitality and a healthy shine. The all naturally-derived ingredients used in the products with no artificial colour or fragrance make it safe to use for all including those with sensitive skin.
