Aries
While Aries natives have many good qualities, patience isn’t really their strong suit. They welcome instant results and solutions that streamline life, which is why they’ll adore the Bifesta micellar cleansing water collection. The no-rinse formulas make for a post-workout wipe down, on-the-go skin refresher, gentle makeup remover, and brush cleanser.
The Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water collection comes in three different varieties (SENSITIVE, MOIST, and BRIGHTUP) to support sensitive, dry, and lackluster skin types. Ingredients like pullulan for skin-tightening, Vitamin C for brightening, and lactic acid for gentle exfoliation make each product a multi-tasking hero, and they function as a cleanser, essence lotion, and treatment all in one.
Taurus
Indulgence is the name of the game for Taurus, and they seek out latest generation tools with attentive design and luxury features. This season they’ll want to gift themselves a luxury Japanese head spa as we transition into the era of “skinification.” In 2022, scalp care is predicted to be emphasized more than ever before.
Gemini
Social distancing may have become the new norm, but this hasn’t put a damper on Gemini’s active social life. This sign is likely enjoying virtual gatherings and plugged in to social media 24/7. Outdoors or not, Gemini should invest in a cutting-edge sunscreen with blue light protection benefits to offset the increased screen time.
Cancer
With the busy new year dawning, Cancer natives might be feeling overwhelmed with the sudden speed-up of activity. Even with beauty, a holistic feel-good ritual is preferred to a routine. With its earthy scent, sedative effect, and tension-relieving properties, hinoki essential oil just might prove a worthy companion in Cancer’s quest for rest and relaxation.
Leo
The star of the zodiac, Leo is always a showstopper. That’s why they’ll want to take inspiration from Japan’s iconic entertainers, the geisha, and tap into the power of rice bran to keep their skin soft, plump, and luminous. We recommend the Edo Cosme Rice Bran Facial Wash for this regal sign.

Virgo
Virgo seeks no-fluff, high-performance skincare that delivers results yet is easy-to-use and affordable. Quality products like the Hakutsuru Handmade Daiginjo Facial Cleansing Soap hit the sweet spot. The bar soap is not only reasonably priced, but infused with premium sake, it helps with hydration, brightening, anti-aging, and acne prevention.

Libra
Trendy Libra is always the first to know about beauty trends, which is why they’ll want to get their hands on a bottle of cult-favorite Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner. Popular with J-Beauty skincare junkies, it has a weightless and fast-absorbing milky consistency yet provides all-in-one benefits including acne prevention and hydration.

Scorpio
Ambitious and one-pointed by nature, Scorpios like to ensure that all their bases are covered when it comes to feeling good in their skin, and that includes diet. Winter is the perfect time for them to load up their collagen reserves with warm bone broths, fish dishes, and premium Japanese collagen supplements.
Sagittarius
Sags are known for their adventurous streak, which is why they prefer multi-tasking products that support an active lifestyle. On snowboarding and hiking trips, Sags will want to pack a lightweight J-Beauty CC cream for color balance, medium coverage, and a minimal-effort glow.
Capricorn
The hard-working busy bee of the zodiac, Caps should schedule some time to relax this season! They can take a leaf from the Japanese, and treat themselves to some TLC with daily baths, be it at home, a public facility, or hot spring. Not only are baths said to relieve fatigue, but they help ease body stiffness, enhance metabolism, and calm the mind.
Aquarius
Aquarius natives are the first to discover beauty trends, and that includes the eco-friendly waterless skincare movement. Waterless products like J-Beauty enzyme powders and bar soaps tend to be more concentrated, hygienic, and longer-lasting than conventional liquid products. Plus, they reduce shipping weights!
