The best New Year's resolutions embody both inner and outer self-work. And if you’re wondering just where to start, what better place to look for guidance than to the stars? Below, we break down New Year's goals according to your astrological sun sign, and sprinkle a little skin care advice in there for good measure. Remember, inner AND outer work, right? Check it out!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The first in the zodiac, Aries are natural born go getters with a “me first” personality. But just like everything, there’s a shadow side! This means that self-work in the new year is all about practicing healthy patience and restraint. To stop you from attacking a pimple? Try GOO GETTER, a hydrocolloid patch for late stage pimples.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Hi bull! Another year around the sun and you’re still just as stubborn! We love that about you, but this year you need to work on getting out of your comfort zone and trusting yourself enough to take risks. That also goes for your skin care. Let’s take a safe step into something new. Maybe that means trying a new kind of acne fighting technology, like the topical probiotics in SILKSHAKE?
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Both ruled by mercury and an air sign, Geminis are quick witted and expressive but also sometimes a little “all over the place.” This new year, it wouldn’t hurt to practice controlling impulsive responses before things escalate. And so! We think your match is KILLA, a microdart patch that stops deep, stubborn pimples before they surface.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Moon baby! We all need a little work on this one, but for Cancers especially, learning to let go of things that may no longer serve you is your final boss. Cancers are so sentimental they will get attached to a pimple. While we can’t cut out that toxic ex for you, HYPERFADE can help you say goodbye to lingering pimple pigmentation for once and for all.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Headstrong, Leos will take you on! The majestic lions of the zodiac, Leos, are the kind of people who thinks they need to do everything themselves. There are some things, like fading hyperpigmentation from the inside out, that you just cannot do yourself. In the new year, try to work on asking for help from friends and for that? Let BLUR POTION, a fading supplement, step in!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Hi Virgo! Of all the zodiacs, you’re the most organized and rational. This new year, what if we resolved to getting a little bit better at expressing our feelings? I know it can be overwhelming, so take time to reflect on your inner state with a glass of wine and perhaps a hydrating PRESS REFRESH face mask?
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Pretty, sweet Libras ruled by Venus, your classic indecisiveness is more than just “this or that" at the bakery. When channeled, your harmonious energy is unstoppable, so this year look inward to find a goal that feels fulfilling, and stick to it! While you’re at it, land on a simple skin care routine so you can focus on what matters, like SKIN DISCIPLINE. It both cuts down on the 1,000 choices and balances gut health to curb acne from the inside, out.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Ruled by Pluto, Scorpios are passionate, intuitive and extremely loyal. So loyal, though, they might use the same product their entire lives without questioning. This new year, let’s keep some healthy skepticism. It’s okay to move on, from let's say, that same sunscreen you’ve been using since you were six, to something better! Like MEGASHADE, an SPF 50 serum made for breakout prone skin.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sag, you’re a caring person and a deep thinker. Sometimes, you might even think a little too deeply. This new year, make a promise to stay in the present. While deep thinking gives fullness to your life, sometimes it can overcomplicate things. Try CUSHION CLEANSE, our innovative facial cleanser that's as refreshing as it is effective. Formulated for acne-prone skin, your usually racing thoughts will be quieted by its one-of-a-kind texture and its subtle scent.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorns! You're the goat. Pun intended. Your realism and discipline makes you great leaders, but this New Years, what if you worked on getting a little goofy? Shake down those walls, be embarrassing, have fun, try FIZZ FOUNTAIN, with chemical and physical exfoliation, it’s probably the funnest way to clean your body.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius is an innovator, and they love standing out from the crowd. One sure fire way to spot an Aquarius is through their eccentricity, whether that’s their outfits, their humor, or their skincare. Ensure that your body is in sync with all your big ideas by trying MOOD FOOD, our supplement gummy designed to block PMS symptoms from popping up and ruining good vibes. No more cramps, mood swings, or bloating getting in the way of the Aquarius' eventful schedule.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Compassionate and intuitive, Pisces are so many things, and being super sensitive is one of them! It’s a strength in so many ways, but sometimes leaves you hurt when you don’t need to be. Everyone is on their own path, and what they say or do is about them, NOT YOU! Don’t take everything so personally, focus on you! If you’re already getting rid of toxicity, you might as well add in PORE VAC, a clay mask that dives deep to rid your skin of impurities without drying out your face.
