Add Minerals to Beauty Routine

Although mineral and crystal-infused skincare has been around since the ancient Egyptians, today these compounds are being added to everything from serums to moisturizers and face massage tools. Minerals are also crucial for overall health and well-being; they are nutrients that the body cannot do without. Minerals themselves are inorganic solids that exist naturally, through geological processes, and have a specific and pre-determined chemical composition. Some vital minerals your skin needs are magnesium, potassium, silica, calcium, and zinc.
