A crucial part of beauty rituals around the world, rose quartz has been used for centuries to repair, de-stress and decongest complexions, thanks to its remarkable healing properties. Often referred to as ‘ice of the gods’, the exquisite powder pink stone is a firm favourite with crystal healers (look away cynics!), who advocate its ability to promote healthy heart and kidney function (circulation and the elimination of toxins are both essential for glowing skin), as well as its positive impact on acne, wrinkles and lymphatic drainage. A symbol of love, the stone promotes optimism and when massaged over the face and neck, it relaxes facial muscles – it's small size is particularly useful for the under-eye area – and gives both skin and emotions a much-needed 'lift'. Use around the eye orbital and you’ll soon see a difference in the texture, tone and clarity. With regular use, your fine lines appear lessened, dark circles diminishes, and you’ll notice a reduction in persistent wrinkles (it’s great for combatting ‘elevens’). Store in the fridge to enhance the relaxing and tightening benefits. You're guaranteed to fall head-over-heels for it.
