Turquoise

Turquoise dust: Lately, if your skin has been looking particularly dull, you should try the jewel facial. The turquoise is a opaque sea-green stone which is very commonly used for jewellery. One of the lesser known qualities of the stone is its therapeutic effects on the skin. Turquoise purifies and detoxifies your skin, reversing the damage done by pollution and smoke.

Diamond

Diamond dust: Ageing skin that is losing its elasticity can benefit from diamond dust which reduces signs of ageing. It promotes the production of collagen in the skin, a vital component that provides strength and elasticity to skin.
