Skin Care Rituals To Carry You Through Summer

Acid Glow Ritual

The Aquarius Full Moon invites innovation, illumination, and a future-forward energy, urging us to purge past patterns so we can evolve. This is the moon to clarify, refine, and brighten. Viva la personal revolution.

Acid Glow is a multi-acid treatment designed to renew and illuminate with precision. Lactic acid, the most hydrating of AHAs, brightens, refines texture, and minimizes visible pores. Glycolic acid, with its small molecular size, penetrates deeply to smooth wrinkles and boost collagen, while tartaric acid offers antioxidant-rich exfoliation. Salicylic acid clears pore congestion, and malachite infuses skin with copper-powered defense against free radicals. Niacinamide strengthens the barrier, evens tone, and softens fine lines. A synergy of mini and micro sodium hyaluronate molecules floods the deeper layers with moisture, reducing water loss and preserving suppleness. Bamboo extract delivers silica and antioxidants to fortify, as aloe bathes skin in vitamins and enzymes that gently renew. The result is a smooth, hydrated, luminous canvas, perfectly aligned with Aquarius’ forward-thinking glow.

My Pro Tip:
Apply Acid Glow in the evening on clean skin for 30 seconds to 5 minutes, as tolerated. As it works, repeat: “I shed what no longer serves me to reveal my most radiant self.” Rinse thoroughly, then continue with your LILFOX skin care ritual.

For my fellow Pros:
Use Acid Glow in your treatment room as a gentle exfoliating layer before masking or massage. For a more advanced treatment, apply after dermaplaning for extra exfoliation. Pair with chilled tools to temper heat and encourage microcirculation.

Moss Mask Ritual

The Virgo New Moon arrives with an invitation to ground, purify, and perfect your rituals. It’s an energy that lives for precision. This is a time to tend to the little details so your radiance can unfold in healthy harmony.

Moss Moss is a mineral-rich, adaptogenic mask that detoxifies, calms, and restores balance to the skin’s ecosystem. Irish moss saturates with essential minerals, amino acids, and peptides that regulate oil, lock in hydration, and soften fine lines, while its natural exfoliating action reveals a luminous finish. Aloe contributes a trio of vitamins, enzymes, and salicylic acid to gently renew and stimulate collagen. Clinically studied dill extract supports elasticity and firmness, and prickly pear enzymes offer gentle, irritation-free exfoliation that enhances tone and texture. Ideal for Virgo’s meticulous care, Moss leaves skin clarified, resilient, and beautifully composed.

My Pro Tip:
After cleansing, apply Moss generously and let it work for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse cool, then layer your favorite hydration. As you mask, visualize yourself implementing small, positive habits each day that will help improve your life overall. Remember, Moss can be worn overnight as a sleeping mask. The hue will wash out of your sheets without leaving a trace.

For my fellow Pros:
Use Moss after any treatment that may cause mild irritation such as extractions or peels to calm, remineralize, and bring skin back into homeostasis. Its earthy scent and lush texture turn any treatment into a sensorial grounding experience.

August’s astrology invites us to refine our rituals, illuminating what needs to be released under Aquarius’ bright gaze and then fortifying what we’re growing under Virgo’s careful tending.

First, let Acid Glow reveal your clearest, most future-ready skin. Then allow Moss to purify, nourish, and seal in your new intentions.

Two moons, two distinct moods, one continuous LILFOX devotion to transforming everyday care into cosmic ritual.
