It’s 2022. When preparing for the future, many look to ancient wisdom for answers. But we know what you’re thinking…

Both religious and non-religious people read their horoscopes. It’s human nature to identify with your sun sign! And these days, New Age practices like astrology and tarot are as popular as ever.

The best skincare routine is one that’s true to you.

Fire signs

Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are signs known for their blazing personalities. Making heads turn is just what comes natural to you! When a fire sign learns how to share the spotlight, the whole world glows.

Skincare tips for fire signs

In traditional Chinese medicine, the fire element is associated with sweat. Sweat itself isn’t bad for skin. But skin inflammation, sunburn, and increased oil production can happen when the heat is on. For Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius placements, you might consider these products:

Does your horoscope actually impact your skin?

According to astrology, the time and position of the stars determines your personality. A snapshot of the constellations relative to your birth can feel like a window into your soul. There’s no one just like you—and some believe that the stars prove it.

It’s healthy to be skeptical, especially when it comes to your skin. Your skin is constantly growing and changing with you.

Caring for your skin is caring for yourself!
