Does the Moon Really Impact Your Skin?

Send us Fan MailThe moon governs not only the tides but potentially your skin as well. Our entertaining deep-dive with comedian Lahna Turner explores the mysterious connections between lunar cycles and your complexion. If you've noticed strange reactions during a full moon, this conversation might explain why.Your body consists of approximately 60% water, making it susceptible to the same gravitational forces that pull ocean tides. We break down specific skincare approaches for each lunar phase: detoxifying during the new moon when skin feels dull, rebuilding during the waxing phase with collagen-supporting treatments, managing increased reactivity during the full moon, and gently exfoliating during the waning phase as the body naturally releases toxins.Beyond physical effects, we discuss how the moon influences sleep cycles, hormone fluctuations, and emotional states – all directly impacting skin health. Lana shares her experiences as a performing comedian during full moons when audiences notably behave differently, while we debate whether science supports these claims or if it's mostly wishful thinking.
