Reported Tourmaline Treatment Benefits*

Many products tout positive results from tourmaline's negative ions.

It has been said that tourmaline helps increase micro-circulation within the uppermost layers of the skin, encouraging vitality and renewal, producing a more radiant tone and lessening sluggishness that can lead to congestion.

Tourmaline generates a significant amount of negative ions when pressure is applied to it. However, it has not been made clear yet how it generates the ions. It is believed that it is due to the piezoelectric effect but this is an assumption without evidence. A formula/theory have yet to be established.

How do negative ions enhance the skin?

Studies have shown a boost in collage production and blood circulation within the skin when introduced to negative ions. Here's what happens.

The negative ions bond to any positive ions and neutralize the free radicals found in the skin cells. This helps to prevent any further cell damage and slows down signs of aging. So, this is the only moment in life that we'll tell you that it's okay to be Negative. While there are some skin devices/machines out there that can add negative ions to the skin, ionization can occur when certain products are applied topically to the skin.
