Rituals of the Moon — Skincare in Sync with the Feminine Cycle
Just as the moon waxes and wanes above us, so too do we move through our own inner tides. The rhythm of a woman’s body mirrors the moon, both following an average 28-day cycle of renewal, energy, radiance, and release.
When we align our self-care with these natural phases, skincare becomes more than routine, it becomes ritual.
At Witchscents Organics, our botanical blends are created to flow with these cycles, nurturing the skin while honoring the connection between the moon, the body, and the self.
New Moon — Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)
A time for rest, reflection, and renewal. As the body sheds and releases, the skin can feel tender, dry, or more sensitive. This is your moment to pause, slow down, and turn inward.
Cleanse gently with our Botanical Cleanser and, if you feel comfortable, draw a warm herbal bath with calming botanicals like chamomile, lavender, and rose. Some women prefer to avoid bathing during this time, so choose what feels right for you.
Finish your ritual with Golden Dew Moisturiser to comfort and hydrate. This is the phase to nourish, not push, let your rituals be restorative and grounding.
Waxing Moon — Follicular Phase (Days 6–13)
The energy begins to rise, creativity stirs, and your skin starts to glow with renewed clarity. Hormones stabilize, making this an ideal time for treatments and rejuvenation.
Exfoliate gently with our Red Clay Scrub to refine texture and awaken the complexion. Follow with Forest Dew Serum, rich in vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, to restore bounce and vitality.
This is the phase of growth and expansion, a perfect time to set intentions and embrace lightness in both spirit and skin.
Full Moon — Ovulation Phase (Days 14–17)
Just as the moon reaches her fullest light, this is when we often feel our most radiant and magnetic. The skin is usually at its healthiest and most balanced, plump, bright, and alive.
Lean into your luminosity with a ritual of celebration. Mist your face with our Rose Hydrosol, (coming soon) layer your Forest Dew Serum, and seal it with Golden Dew Moisturiser to enhance your natural glow.
Take a mindful moment under the moonlight, breathe deeply, and honor your vitality, your sensuality, your fullness.
Waning Moon — Luteal Phase (Days 18–28)
As hormones shift and energy begins to soften, you may notice your skin becoming more prone to congestion, dullness, or dryness. This is the phase to slow down again and simplify your skincare.
Reach for calming, balancing botanicals, a gentle cleanse, a mid-phase clay mask treatment, or a touch of Butter Face to soothe and hydrate.
This is the moon’s descent, a time to release and restore. Honor your emotions, move gently, and prepare for renewal.
Living in Rhythm
When we live and care for ourselves in tune with these cycles, we reconnect to nature’s wisdom, both within and around us. The moon teaches us that beauty has phases, and that each one holds purpose.
By tending to your skin with awareness of your body’s natural flow, you cultivate harmony, not perfection.
Witchscents Organics invites you to embrace skincare as sacred ritual, a way of honoring your changing energy, your womanly rhythms, and the eternal dance between earth and moon.
