Professional Skincare
When clients come to a spa, they usually want more than effective treatments that improve how they look. They want to leave feeling refreshed and renewed. Enter the Gemstone Collection Facial Protocol. This ritual not only refines, replenishes, and restores the skin, but the addition of gemstones also delights the senses, leaving clients energized, refreshed, and glowing from the inside out.
For those seeking calm now, this 10-step facial leaves clients wanting more. The better they look and feel when they walk out, the more likely they are to return. Below is the full step-by-step protocol and details on the at-home kit your clients will love.
What Is the Gemstone Collection Facial?
Stress often shows up on the skin — from dryness and breakouts to premature aging and dark circles. When clients request a facial, they’re often seeking care that goes beyond skin-deep relief.
The Gemstone Facial is a mood-lifting skincare ritual focused on wellness. Built around three popular formulas with gentle, effective cleansing, exfoliating, and replenishing ingredients, this protocol offers clients a peaceful experience and a radiant, inner glow.
Step-by-Step Gemstone Collection Facial Protocol
1. Cleanse
Begin with a double cleanse to remove makeup and impurities. First, use Stone Crop Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup, excess oil, and buildup. Rinse with a warm cloth. Then use Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser to balance oil and help minimize the appearance of pores.
2. Tone
Mist with Stone Crop Hydrating Mist for any skin type, or use Lime Refresh Tonique for oily or normal skin. Leave on.
3. Exfoliate
For all skin types except sensitive or rosacea-prone, use the Turmeric Energizing Treatment. Always do a patch test first: cleanse behind the ear, apply the product, and leave for 10 minutes. A warm, tingling sensation is normal because the treatment is active; it may last a few minutes and can reactivate when water is reintroduced. If there’s no abnormal reaction, proceed.
Mix 1 small scoop of powder (about 1 teaspoon) into a bowl and add a few drops of water, stirring until you get a whipped-mousse texture. Recommended ratio: 4 parts powder to 3 parts water. For gentler stimulation, add more water. Apply a thin layer to the face, neck, and décolleté. Let dry 10–30 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and gently massage to exfoliate. Be careful when removing—the treatment can reactivate with water, so avoid hot towels and steam that could intensify the heat.

4. Mask
Mix a small amount of Snow Mushroom & Reishi Masque with a few drops of water and apply evenly. Let dry 5–10 minutes, then remove with a warm, wet towel.

Apply Monoi Age Corrective Night Cream for Face & Neck. Emulsify, spread over face, and massage for 5–7 minutes. Gently remove any excess with a warm, wet towel.
6. Essence
Press a few drops of Birch Water Purifying Essence into the skin until absorbed. This lightweight essence restores moisture and helps the skin better absorb the next products.
7. Serum
Pat in 3–4 drops of Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum. For normal-to-dry skin, follow with Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil for extra hydration and anti-aging benefits. The pink tourmaline stones in the oil are said to encourage positive thoughts and enhance an inner glow.
