Scorpio New Moon Ritual: A Hipbees Guide to Skin, Soul & Fresh Starts

Today’s moon is brand-new in deep, watery Scorpio—a sign known for intensity, truth-telling and transformation. It’s the moment in the lunar cycle where the sky goes dark and our inner world gets loud: feelings rise, old stories surface and we’re asked (gently… or not so gently) to release what’s no longer working. 

For many of us, that inner shift shows up right on our skin and in our bodies:

• Sleep might be off.

• Emotions can feel “all or nothing.”

• Skin may look a bit dull, reactive or congested as our nervous system rides the Scorpio waves.

The good news? New moons are also a reset button. And when you pair Scorpio’s transformative energy with a nourishing, plant-powered skincare ritual, you give your body a clear message: I’m safe to let go. I’m ready to begin again.

At Hipbees, we lovingly craft Canadian-made skincare powered by beeswax, hemp seed oil and other naturally derived ingredients, with palm-oil-free options that honour both your skin and the planet. 

Tonight, we invite you into a Scorpio New Moon Ritual of Renewal you can recreate whenever life (or your skin) feels like it needs a deep reset.

Why the Scorpio New Moon Hits So Deep

Scorpio is the sign of composting what’s old so something more honest, vibrant and aligned can grow. It rules:

• Transformation & rebirth – clearing emotional clutter and starting fresh

• Shadow & honesty – noticing the feelings we’ve been avoiding

• Boundaries & power – choosing what (and who) still gets access to our energy 

On a body level, that can mean:

• Wanting to spend more time alone or in the bath

• Craving warmth, water and grounding textures

• Feeling called to simplify your products and rituals

Think of this new moon as a moment to check in with your skin and your nervous system: What have I been carrying that I’m ready to rinse away? Where can my routine feel simpler, kinder and more “me” again?

Step 1: Set the Mood – Create Your Scorpio Sanctuary

Scorpio loves a cozy, cave-like atmosphere. Before you even touch a product:

1. Dim the lights and light a candle or two from your collection. Choose a scent that feels grounding or mysterious—nothing too bright or buzzy.

2. Put your phone on airplane mode. New moon = new boundaries.

3. Take three slow breaths and quietly name your intention, for example:

   • “I release the pressure to be perfect.”

   • “I’m calling in deeper rest and gentler routines.”

If you have a favourite Hipbees candle, let that be your “signal” scent for new beginnings—your brain will start to associate that aroma with calm and reset over time.

Step 2: Scorpio Deep Cleanse – Clear Away the Day

Scorpio wants depth, not surface-level. Tonight is about a thorough but gentle cleanse—for your face and your energy.

• Start with a solid oil cleanser like Pore Hustler™ to melt away sunscreen, makeup and the stress of the day. Massage slowly into dry skin, especially around jawline and temples where we store tension.

• Rinse with warm (not hot) water and a soft cloth. Let each swipe be a mini “goodbye” to old stories, frustration and overwhelm.

If you’re showering instead of bathing, you can pair this with one of your Hipbees soaps—they’re formulated to cleanse without stripping, so your skin barrier stays happy while you reset.

Step 3: Submerge & Soften – Bath or Shower Ritual

Water is Scorpio’s element, so we’re leaning all the way in.

If you have a tub

• Sprinkle in a Milk & Honey bath soak or drop in one of your favourite Hipbees bath bombs. The combination of salts, honey and botanicals helps soften skin while the warm water coaxes your body into “rest and digest” mode.

• As you soak, imagine everything that’s been weighing on you dissolving into the water—worry, resentment, overthinking, comparison.

If you’re team shower

• Turn your shower into a mini steam room: run warm water, hang a towel over the door, and use a creamy body soap and Touch & Glow™ body butter after to “seal in” moisture and intention.

• Let the water hit the back of your heart and visualize it rinsing away anything you’re ready to release.

Step 4: Feed Your Skin – Full-Body Nourishing Ritual

After water, your skin is extra ready to drink in all the goodness.

1. Full Body: While skin is still slightly damp, massage in Touch & Glow™ Whipped Body Butter from ankles to collarbones. Beeswax and plant butters help lock in moisture while hemp seed oil supports the skin barrier—perfect for colder, drier Scorpio-season air. 

2. Face Serum: Press a few drops of Groovy Glow™ Face Serum into your face, neck and chest. Take your time around your temples and jaw; these are Scorpio’s favourite “clench zones.”

3. Mask Moment: If your skin feels like it needs a deeper reset, mix up JOMO powdered face mask with a little water or honey. Apply while you journal (next step). Powder masks are amazing at gently drawing out what no longer serves—on your skin and metaphorically.

Let this step be slow and sensual: textures, scents and warmth all help your nervous system feel safe, which is the foundation of healthy, glowing skin.

Step 5: Journal & Intend – Shadow Work, But Make It Gentle

Once your products are on and you’re wrapped in something soft, grab a notebook.

Prompt ideas for this Scorpio new moon:

• What am I ready to stop pretending doesn’t bother me?

• Where do I need softer routines and stronger boundaries?

• What do I want my skin and body to feel like over this next lunar cycle?

You don’t have to fix everything tonight. The goal is simply to tell the truth to yourself. That alone is powerful Scorpio medicine.

When you’re done, write one simple, present-tense intention, like:

“I honour my body with simple, nourishing rituals.”
“I am safe to slow down.”

Take a final deep breath and seal your ritual with a sip of water or herbal tea.

Keep the Ritual Going All Lunar Cycle

This doesn’t have to be a one-night-only thing. Choose one or two pieces from tonight’s ritual to repeat over the next 28 days:

• A nightly Pore Hustler™ cleanse to wash away the day (and scrolling).

• A Sunday night Milk & Honey bath + Touch & Glow™ combo as your weekly full-body reset.

• A Groovy Glow™ + JOMO when your skin or mood needs extra love.

• Lighting your favourite Hipbees Buddha candle whenever you journal or pull cards.

Small, consistent rituals help your nervous system trust that you’ll keep showing up for yourself—even when life (and the cosmos) feel intense.
