The moon is Earth’s only “natural” satellite that we know of. The moon makes the tides of the ocean move. Since the moon affects the tides, it’s quite clear it can affect human beings as well! After all, we are all made up of at least 60% water. With this information, we can level up our skincare skills! Have you tried the lunar skincare trend yet? If not, I got you!

The moon doesn’t actually produce its own light. Instead, it absorbs sunlight which is what we see. The Moon Phases are referred to as the views we see of the moon depending on where it’s orbiting. There are eight phases of the moon. They are called the new moon, the waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter and waning crescent.

New Moon

The new moon is a great time for new beginnings. Take advantage of this by trying a new masque in your skincare regimen like the Ultra Hydrating Enzyme Masque in my Glymed Plus skincare shop!

Waxing Crescent

This is a good time to set new intentions. Try a new skincare product with it!

First Quarter Moon

The First Quarter Moon is a good time to take action. Focus on hydrating your skin. Use a really good moisturizer!

Waxing Gibbous Moon

Waxing Gibbous is a good is a good time to persevere and keep going with your skincare routine! Be sure to exfoliate your skin.

Full Moon

The Full Moon is a great time to give yourself a break and to focus on self care. Take a break from the makeup. Swap out your foundation for a BB cream. Practice self care even if it’s only 5 minutes a day! You need it and you deserve it!

Waning Gibbous Moon

This is a good time to focus on your goals and practice gratitude. Heal your skin with a treatment serum targeted specifically for your skin type.

Last Quarter Moon

The Last Quarter Moon or Third Quarter Moon is a good time to let and relax. What better way to relax than giving yourself a facial or better yet, book a facial appointment with your favorite esthetician!

Waning Crescent Moon

This is a really great time to rest! Relax with your favorite masque.

Moon Water

What better way to step up your skincare routine than to include moon water in it!? Creating moon water is simple. Grab a mason jar and put fresh, clean water in it. Leave it outside under the moon overnight to reap the benefits of the moon’s energy.
