3 Products to Bring Glow Into 2026: Why January Is Perfect for a Gemstone Facial
The Skinsmith | 19th January 2026
January Reset
January often feels like a reset — new goals, fresh starts, and wanting your skin to reflect that renewed energy. A Gemstone Facial using Éminence Organics’ gemstone‑infused range is an ideal treatment to kick off the year with radiant, balanced, and nourished skin. You can book in for a professional treatment with one of our Spa Partners or carry out the treatment at home.
What Is the Éminence Organics Gemstone Facial?
The Gemstone Facial is a ritualistic spa treatment built around three core products from Éminence’s Gemstone Collection. The idea is to combine botanical actives + gemstone infusion for both skincare and sensory experience.
The three main steps are:
- Cleansing / Exfoliation — using Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser (with malachite gemstones + charcoal + blue matcha) to purify and detoxify.
- Treatment / Mask / Exfoliator — applying the Turmeric Energizing Treatment, a powder-to-mousse formula with turmeric, Citrine gemstones, paprika, kaolin clay, and zeolite that warms the skin and draws out impurities.
- Nourishing / Sealing — finishing with Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil, which infuses pink tourmaline gemstones + camellia, marula, hemp seed oils to deeply hydrate and replenish.
Why January Is an Ideal Time for This Facial
- Winter’s dry air & indoor heating tend to dull the skin and dehydrate your barrier — a rich, restorative treatment helps rebalance.
- After holiday indulgences, your skin may crave detox and a reset; the charcoal + clay + warming mask is great for that.
- Spiritually and symbolically, gemstones and ritual in skincare tie nicely into the theme of “new year, new you.” That sense of intention can make the treatment feel more meaningful.
- Light levels are low in winter, so giving your skin a radiant boost is a mood-lifter.
Skin Benefits
- Deep cleansing without harsh stripping, thanks to charcoal + malachite.
- Warming mask increases circulation, brightens, and helps with dullness.
- Rich oils rehydrate, support barrier repair, lock in moisture, and impart luminosity.
- Gemstones malachite, Citrine, Pink tourmaline are thought (in holistic/energy traditions) to bring transformation, clarity, and emotional balance.
What to Expect During the Treatment
- A gentle double cleanse to prep the skin.
- Application of the warming Turmeric Energizing Treatment: you’ll feel a mild warming / tingling — it’s part of the activation.
- After mask removal and face misting, the facial oil is massaged in, sealing in hydration and giving that glow.
- The overall pace is luxurious, slow, intentional — you should leave feeling relaxed, dewy, and aligned.
Precautions & Tips
- Because the mask warms, very sensitive or reactive skin may want to do a patch test or ask the therapist to tone down time.
- Ensure your skin isn’t broken, irritated, or sunburned before doing this (even though it’s January, if you’ve used strong peels recently).
- Post‑facial, follow a gentle hydrating routine for a day or two — avoid strong actives or exfoliants immediately.
Complete Facial
- If you want to carry out a complete at home facial not missing a single step, here it is!!:
- Double Cleanse: A two-step cleansing technique to break down makeup, remove
build-up and impurities
STEP 1: Stone Crop Cleansing Oil – for all skin types: brings excess sebum, make-up and impurities to skin surface. Remove with a warm wet towel.
STEP 2: Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser – for oily to normal skin types: oil balancing and pore minimising. Remove with a warm wet towel.
- Tone: Stone Crop Hydrating Mist – for all skin types
- Exfoliation: Apply a thin layer of Turmeric Energizing Treatment by
dispensing 1 small scoop of powder (about 1 teaspoon) into a small mixing bowl. Gradually stir in a few drops of water until a whipped-mousse texture is achieved; recommended ratio is 4 parts powder to 3 parts water. For milder stimulation, increase ratio of water as desired. Apply a thin layer to entire face, extend to neck and décolleté as desired. Let dry 10 to 30 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm to tepid water, massaging gently to exfoliate. Be cautious when removing. The treatment will reactivate when you reintroduce water; hot towels and steam will intensify the heat.
- Masque: For all skin types - Mix a small amount of Snow Mushroom & Reishi Masque with a few drops of water and apply evenly to the skin. Allow to dry for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove with a warm wet towel.
- Essence: Gently press a few drops of the Birch Water Purifying Essence into skin until fully absorbed.
- Facial Oil: For normal/dry skin - Follow with the Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil for additional hydration and antiaging benefits.
- Moisturiser: For all skin types – Stone Crop Whip Moisturiser is ideal for mature, dehydrated, devitalized and hyperpigmented skin.
- Eye Care: Snow Mushroom Moisture Cloud Eye Cream decreases eye puffiness and diminishes the appearance of under eye bags to reveal a refreshed appearance.
- Lip Care: Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 moisturises with rosehip oil to relieve dryness and lavender to restore softness and protects with all natural SPF15 that defends dry lips against harmful UV exposure.
- SPF: Finish with an SPF suitable for all skin types. Daily Defense Tinted SPF offers all-mineral broad-spectrum UVA, UVB and blue light protection in a lightweight SPF50+ fluid. The sheer tint blurs imperfections and is suitable for a wide range of skin tones.
