Welcome to the third and final installment of Bring on the Bling. I already told you about beauty products that incorporate diamonds and pearls, and today, I'm rounding up three more products that include pulverized gemstones, which are said to give off strong vibrational qualities that soothe, smooth, and revitalize the skin.

Aveda Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Cream ($32) is a gentle face cream best suited for normal to dry skin. Crushed tourmaline is included in this formula, along with powerful anti-oxidants and natural marine and plant extracts. For best results, use in the morning and in the evening.

The set contains cleanser, treatment polish, and moisturizer, all of which contain several semi-precious gemstones that smooth fine lines and give your face a soft and natural glow.
Artemis Woman Healing Gems Topaz Body Polish ($14.99) is an exfoliator containing topaz crystals, aloe, and green tea antioxidants that helps recharge the surface of your skin by sloughing away dead cells. Two percent of profits from each sale are donated to to support alternative treatments and screenings for women's cancer.

The Artemis Woman Heel Smoother Pro is a dermabrasion system for your feet. The pedicure appliance smooths away callouses and dry skin on your heels and toes. In seconds, the battery-operated device painlessly sands away the rough spots without the need for razor blades or harsh chemicals.

Named for the ancient Greek goddess of the moon and the hunt, Artemis specializes in wellness and professional-grade spa products meant to nurture both the body and the soul. As soon as you try the Topaz Foot Butter that comes with the Heel Smoother Pro, you'll understand what I mean. This delicious-smelling cream is enriched with shea butter, essential oils, and topaz crystals to soften your feet and awaken your senses. The kit, which you can buy here for $29.99, also includes one large, rounded tip for the heel and a small, thin tip for the toes. You can buy replacement tips here for $5.99 and more Topaz Foot Butter here. The 1-ounce jar sells for $7.99 and the large 2.5-ounce jar sells for $19.99.
