Scentbird Debuts “Healing Crystal/Gemstone Collection” Beauty Masks featuring Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine, Moonstone and Black Onyx
Have you heard about Scentbird? If you start reading our blog from a couple of years ago, you will remember this amazing luxury fragrance and beauty subscription service. I recommend about it in gift guide articles, and now I still recommend it because they partner with over 500 top brands, so you’ll receive 100% authentic scents every time!
A great news about Scentbird, this premier fragrance/ beauty subscription service now delivering to 300,000 people a month, debuted last month a first-ever “Healing Crystal/ Gemstone Collection.” Featuring five masks with the natural healing powers of Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine, Moonstone, and Black Onyx, the masks soothe, refresh and revive the skin. The capsule collection is designed to harness the unique holistic properties of gemstones, and target a variety of skin conditions, from anti-aging to inflammation. Whether looking for a moisturizing and nourishing treatment, cooling and calming or a warming skin detox, the Scentbird “Healing Crystal/ Gemstone Collection” offers a range of benefits and textures to personalize anyone’s skincare routine.
“Over the past few years, I’ve been fascinated with the holistic properties of crystals,” said Mariya Nurislamova, CEO of Scentbird. “In developing the Crystal Face Mask capsule collection, we wanted to highlight the unique skin-healing powers of each gemstone and fuse them with complementary ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Centella Asiatica. Everyone’s skin is different, and we really wanted to provide a range of textures and benefits to help beauty-lovers choose what works for them.
Among the Masks are:
Rose Quartz Nourishing Youth Mask
Get supple, youthful-looking skin in no time with healing rose quartz. Rosehip Seed Oil provides intense nourishment, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while honey locks in moisture for a soft & smooth complexion. Rich in antioxidants and crushed rose quartz, this ultra-moisturizing mask helps plump and rejuvenate the skin’s natural glow.
Amethyst Calming Cooling Mask
A tranquil treat for tired skin, infused with calming amethyst. Powered by Centella Asiatica, a super-soothing white tea extract that helps to calm skin and reduce inflammation, our cooling mask offers sweet relief to sensitive & stressed skin. Lavender flower helps soothe & hydrate skin, while crushed amethyst crystals help banish redness and balance the complexion.
Citrine Brightening Peel-Off Mask
Banish imperfections and boost brilliance with radiant citrine. Energizing turmeric & Vitamin C help revitalize the appearance of dull & uneven skin, unveiling a more refined, refreshed and radiant complexion. A blend of crushed citrine and powerful antioxidants helps to ward off damaging free radicals, to brighten and firm the look and feel of skin.
Moonstone Hydrating Sleeping Mask
Ethereal moonstone imparts dreamy, dewy skin, infused with light. The lightweight, pillow-proof formula boasts Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture to the skin, for a luminous, lit-from-within glow. Crushed moonstone crystals infuse skin with radiance, while fresh water lily soothes and moisturizes, for silky, supple skin.
Black Onyx Warming Detox Mask
Your ultimate skin protector, black onyx strips away pore-clogging dirt, oil and pollution to purify skin. Black silt helps reduce the look of pores & keeps oil at bay, all without stripping skin of essential moisture. The essential healing powers of black onyx and jasmine combine to enhance the skin’s natural elasticity.
Have a lovely detox mask night with Scentbird’s Black Onyx Warming Detox Mask!
The following every another night, I tried each one. I have to say, I love them all. First, the product is beautiful, the foam has glitters which add shining on your face; Second, it works so well, you will feel the difference right after you use it; The most important is, my skin is pretty sensitive, but I don’t feel any irritation from all these five items.
Beautiful packs, I just want to display them at there.
This absolutely can be a lovely gift box, for sister, for mom, for bestie. No woman can refuse lovely mask products.
“Every new innovation makes us crave creature comforts found in nature, which brought us to crystals,” said Nurislamova. “No longer ‘New Age’, crystals have taken the beauty world by storm, and, here at Scentbird, we couldn’t be more excited.”

Here are some my favorite products:
Strawberry Powder Infused Sugar Scrub
$18.50A little more kick is added to this sugar scrub! With a healthy dose of Strawberry powder infused into the scrub (which coincidentally added the natural coloring to this scrub) this scrub is perfect for face and body.
Strawberry’s contain alpha lipoic acid which is a potent antioxidant, which slows the aging of collagen elastin. Also it has great vitamin C, which is a potent antioxidant as well as being a key player in collagen synthesis.” In fact, strawberries give vitamin C superstar oranges a run for their money. Also armed with a very high natural amount of salicylic acid thus scrub is perfect for acne prone skin.
