Crystals have made their way into skincare regimens via gua sha and rolling, but you don’t always need a special tool to get the benefits of crystal energies. Grab your favorite stones and learn how to boost your energy, glow and self-love with the simple practice of making crystal facial grids.

Crystals and Beauty

Healing crystals have been used for thousands of years in rituals of beauty and adornment and, in more recent centuries, as protective amulets and in healing rituals. In ancient Egypt, the rich blue hue of lapis lazuli was a favorite choice for facial adornment [source] and was often inlaid in masks. The ancient Greeks and Romans adorned themselves with amethyst to help them stay clear-headed and temperate [source]. Today, many people are also choosing to wear crystals and use them around their homes to create energetic shifts in body, mind, and spirit. They are being used in meditation and energy healing rituals, as water infusers, and more recently in skincare via facial grids.

What Is a Crystal Facial Grid?

A crystal facial grid is an assemblage of various crystals chosen for their particular properties and combined in a geometric pattern to create a stronger vibrational frequency. Grids can be created in your home on an altar space, arranged around the perimeter of your walls to amplify and shift the energy of your room, or—in this case—placed in a harmonious composition on your face to help you feel more balanced, energized, or refreshed.

Curious about how you might begin to incorporate crystals into this straightforward and relaxing self-care technique? Here’s what you need to know:

Step 1 | Choose crystals for the energy you want to create.

Each crystal has its own unique structure that vibrates at a particular frequency. The idea is that when we work with crystals, we are looking to synchronize our energy with that of the earth element. They may stimulate productivity and clarity, promote inner peace and relaxation, or even serve to protect your energy. Your intention and objective in terms of what you’re looking to receive from the crystals influences the sort of stones you’ll want to work with.

Before you go about creating your facial grid, you’ll need to decide on the energy you’d like to bring on board. From there, you’ll gather together a grouping of five key stones based on their properties. While we’ve come up with a few suggestions for you here, the combinations are really limitless, so feel free to experiment and choose crystals that speak to you and to create your own unique groupings.
