Belief in the moon is currently experiencing a revival. But not only well-being and sleep should be based on the celestial body, but also our skin. Whether full moon or new moon: You should use these beauty products now.
There are people who only go to the hairdresser when the moon is full. Still others swear by water bottled during the full moon. mumbo-jumbo? But on the contrary. The lunar cycle has influenced people’s lives – be it in health management in ancient Egypt or in agriculture in the Middle Ages – for thousands of years and is now also an important part of the care routine of beauties around the world. The latest beauty trend: adapt care rituals to the lunar calendar.
This is how the moon could influence our beauty
Masks, scrubs, baths: According to astro experts like Lori Haberkorn, there is a perfect time for every beauty ritual. This has not been scientifically proven, but one thing is certain: the gravitational pull of the moon at least influences the tides. It is therefore not entirely unreasonable that even the body, which is known to consist of more than 70 percent water, cannot easily evade the forces of the moon. What exactly does that look like and how can you better adapt your care routine to the different phases of the moon cycle? Very easily.
New moon: The time to detox
On July 28th there is the next new moon and with it the beginning of every new energy. Perfect timing to start the moon phase in a relaxed manner with a new beauty pampering routine.
In the new moon this means for our beauty routine: Let go of all bad habits, do something good for your body with peelings and a long shower and scrub old burdens off your skin. Anyone who likes treatments can now book detox packs and lymphatic drainage. Do you tend to have bitchy, impure skin? Then now is your care time and clarifying mask your product.
Waxing moon: pamper, pamper, pamper
The moon is slowly getting fuller again and with each passing day the absorption capacity for the organism and the skin increases. Care and plenty of moisture are now a must! Our depots are depleted to a minimum in the last lunar cycle and ready to be replenished with good nutrients after the detoxifying new moon. You will notice: At this point, the body is extra thankful for the rich body lotion and absorbs it particularly well. Even dry and sensitive skin gets its care moment in the moon phase.
Full Moon: The cells are at their peak
The full moon is the climax of the lunar cycle, here the moon, earth and sun are in exactly one line. Strong emotions, but also an increased cell metabolism are often the result. Therefore, you should focus on a relaxing beauty routine during this time. A warm bubble bath or an overnight mask? Now is the right time for it. It can also be used in oil in the hair or skin routine. The product is transported well by the metabolism and leads to pimples less often.
Waning Moon: Slow hair growth and resistant skin
According to astrology, the waning moon invites us to surrender and soften. Means: The body is less stormy and therefore more resistant to treatments such as waxing and eyebrow plucking. Another advantage: In this phase of the moon, hair growth should not only be slower, but also finer. A strong massage that stimulates the lymph or prevents cellulite is also particularly beneficial for the body during the waning moon. Women and men with mature skin also benefit from the moon status and can further strengthen the complexion with anti-aging treatments.
