We looked to the sky for the signs and to the Earth for the most precious materials to create rituals that help you connect more deeply with yourself and with nature.

Cosmic Beauty tips and tricks from Moonsisters x Tata Harper

From February 1st to the 11th, there is a Waxing Moon, an ideal time for the body to rest deeply and receive the benefits of restorative beauty sleep, taking advantage of the early sunsets to call it a night sooner than usual.

• At night, the body’s circadian rhythms and increased blood flow makes it easier for products to penetrate more deeply. We always apply a layer of a rich, anti-aging cream before dozing off to bed to maximize skin benefits. 

During the Full Moon in Leo on February 12th, there is a moment for extra care as the moon in this position is associated with circulation. An at-home facial with oils and a powerful stone like jade is helpful for calming anxiety and centering yourself. This three-step routine is all about luxuriating in beautiful textures and ultra-nourishing skin benefits:

• When it’s chilly outside, it feels so good to apply Nourishing Oil Cleanser on dry skin. Massage it in, then rinse with warm water to dissolve makeup and dirt. 
• The Hydrating Floral Mask is known as our hyper hydrator for its ability to deliver 1,000 sizes of hyaluronic acid to seriously replenish dry skin.
• Finish with Retinoic Nutrient Face Oil to lock in moisture. 

From February 13th to the 27th, we enter a waning period. This is a good time for removal. Spiritually, we often think of moving through negative energy and releasing what’s not serving us, but on the beauty front, it’s a great time to remove excess product build up on the scalp by using a scalp scrub.

We end the month on February 28th with a New Moon in Pisces. This station is associated with the feet and toes, making this an ideal time for a pedicure.

From January 1st through the 12th, there is a Waxing Moon, an ideal time for the skin to absorb maximum benefits from vitamin and mineral-enriched creams. During this time, we are drawing on our Farm Beauty Complex favorites, including…

• The Repairative Moisturizer is known for being a lightweight formula with plumping hydration. 
• Creme Riche is that super luxe and rich formula that is perfect when it’s super dry indoors and super windy outside. 
• Rejuvenating Serum is the base layer of your skincare routine, worn underneath moisturizer to tighten, brighten and minimize the look of wrinkles. 
• Restorative Eye Crème helps out sleep-deprived skin by targeting wrinkles, under eye bags, dark circles, and dryness.

On January 13th, the Full Moon is in Cancer, which is also known as the Snow or Wolf Moon. Today it’s ideal to stay home and soak, ideally in a bath with salts and essential oils. Try applying our Revitalizing Body Oil post-shower on damp skin for total absorption. 

From January 14th to the 28th, during the Waning Moon, the moon’s energy decreases, and ours does too. Make sure to consistently moisturize the face and body as skin is likely to be dry, and check in with your skin throughout the day, using the Hydrating Floral Essence as a beauty snack, misting often. 

On January 29th, there is a New Moon in Aquarius. A new moon is a good time to make drastic change. If you cut your hair, a short look will maintain its shape for longer.
