The beauty according to the Lunar Calendar
There are many cycles we follow in our lives, and one of the oldest is the lunar one.
The lunar cycle is the time it takes for the moon to circle the earth and go through four phases: New Moon, Waxing Quarter, Full Moon, Waning Quarter, then New Moon again,
and so on.
The moon affects not only our time or the sea’s tides but also our health and daily life.
In many religions and medicines, the moon has guided and continues to guide people to its day. Many pieces of advice and tips relate to beauty.
How to take care of the body when there is a New Moon?
The New Moon is the perfect time for cleansing. Fasting is beneficial for the body,
and whether you choose a complete fast where you drink only water or a yogic fast with
An Ayurvedic diet, for example, will have a positive effect on your skin, mood, and overall metabolism.
The New Moon also symbolizes a new cycle. If you’re looking to make a change, the new moon is the time. Like planting a seed, visualize your idea, start a new cycle, and you will grow with the moon.
As for your skin, the New Moon is also recommended to detoxify, do a deep cleansing treatment such as a scrub or mask and a gentle facial massage.
Regeneration, nutrition, and growth support during the Waxing Gibbous
During the roughly two-week growing phase, it’s time for a beauty boost. It is recommended to cut hair and nails and pluck hairs because the body’s regeneration is the strongest
and everything grows back faster. Masks, massages, and lymphatic drainage massages
are recommended to promote regeneration. Skin and hair absorb serums very well. In short, it is time to give the body only the best care and nourishment.
A tricky Full Moon
The full moon often makes us feel strong and energetic, but watch out for it. For several days before and during the full moon, our bodies are very sensitive. Any procedures such
as chemical peels, tooth extractions, or even less invasive ones such as hair removal are strongly discouraged. Our bodies cannot regenerate and heal well, so procedures can be more painful and less effective.
Gentle treatments, relaxation, meditation, and baths are recommended during the Full Moon.
