Something about tides, maybe?
Turns out, I was sort of right.
The moon rules the tides of the ocean.
Humans are made of 60 percent water, Stardust explained.
Therefore, the moon has a huge effect on us, particularly the lunar phases.
Excitingly, I kicked off this experiment on a full moon.
I didnt yet know why full moons were impactful, but they seemed fancy and mysterious.
Luckily, Stardust broke down for me what they actually can mean.
Full moons are a time of letting go and releasing, she shares.
Its time to slow down, which means that our skin can use a break too.
Being that this luminary is in Virgo, its important to focus on self-care.
Do a face mask to detox your face while you take a bath with Epsom salts flowers optional.
It felt good like taking a deep breath.
I started to think that maybe there was something to this little experiment.
If a full moon in Virgo sounded fancy, a waning gibbous sounded downright serious to me.
Stardust quickly explained that I was a little off about that, too.
The disseminating moon wants us to take it easy.
Using a new product is advised, but nothing major.

Ultimately, though, I was glad for the excuse to take a chance.
First of all: Would I eat a pizza called a balsamic moon?
Yes, yes I would.
Turns out, though, that a balsamic moon is actually a symbol for a time of healing.
For me, Friday ended up being a day of recharging and refocusing, so this checked out.
Being that the moon is in Sagittarius, you could choose a fun product to try.
It reminded me that sometimes your skin needs different things not unlike our needs overall.
