LUNAR NEW YEAR GIFT GUIDE
Happy Year of the Rabbit
Every year, people all over the world celebrate the arrival of spring with Lunar New Year. This holiday isn't based on the beginning of the calendar year, but rather the lunar (or lunisolar) calendar. Lunar New Year is the perfect time to reflect on what you're grateful for and look forward to everything the coming moons will bring.
Each year is associated with an animal zodiac with a total of 12 signs. This year is the year of the rabbit! And because Lunar New Year is traditionally a time of giving, we created this Lunar New Year Gift Guide! We paired each of 12 lunar zodiac signs with an Ole product based on our products' benefits and the signs' traits. That way, you know what to get each of your loved ones this Lunar New Year.
RABBIT
1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
We definitely see the Rabbit as our Barrier Booster Orange Ferment Vitamin C Essence. The Rabbit is known for being quiet, elegant, kind and responsible. In a similar way, Barrier Booster Essence is gentle and hydrating. It boosts the effects of other skincare products and defends against pollution and free radicals.
TIGER
1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Tigers are known for being brave and confident. Our Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatement is potent and powerful like the Tiger. It smoothes skin texture, firms and targets the look of dark spots, pores, fine lines and wrinkles.
OX
1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
What do the Ox and Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer have in common? They're both diligent, dependable and strong. Packed with peptides, collagen and hyaluronic acid, this daily moisturizer is clinically tested to instantly DOUBLE hydration, boost elasticity and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
RAT
1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
When it comes to Lunar zodiacs, the Rat is considered quick, resourceful and kind. Cold Plunge Pore Mask carries a few of those characteristics as well. It's quick in that it's a clay mask - only taking 10 minutes to experience results. Resourceful in that the AHA and salicylic acid visibly diminishes pores while controlling surface oil. And finally, it's kind in that it's gentle on the skin and won't leave you feeling stripped of moisture.
PIG
1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
Truth Juice Daily Cleanser is DEFINITELY year of the Pig (and not because pigs have a reputation for being dirty!) According to Lunar New Year traditions, Pigs are known for their compassion and diligence. Similarily, Truth Juice is gentle on the skin with its plush foam and creamy texture. It's diligent - fully removing dirt, oil and longwear eye makeup.
DOG
1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
Could the dog be anything other than Truth Serum? Dogs are known for being loyal and honest. And Truth Serum is known for having a loyal cult-following. This vitamin C serum with collagen brightens, boost elasticity, firms, hydrates and soothes skin to produce honest results.
ROOSTER
1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
Dewtopia 5% Acid Firming Night Crème is most like the Rooster because they share a very important trait: they're both hardworking. With 5% AHAs and edelweiss stem cell, this night cream deeply hydrates, retexturizes, evens skin tone and visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots.
MONKEY
1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
Monkeys are known for being smart and curious which instantly made us think of Wrinkle Blur Bakuchiol Eye Gel Crème. Wrinkle Blur comes with the smarts in the form of an innovative formula that features a retinol alternative and powerful peptides. This dual-action formula reduces the look of fine lines and dark circles around the eyes.
GOAT
1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
We all know who the GOAT is around here: Banana Bright+ Vitamin C Eye Crème. Aside from being the greatest of all time, Goats are known to be calm, gentle and sympathetic. Doesn't that sound like Banana Bright+ Eye Crème? This fragrance-free formula features Vitamin C and real gold that brightens and visibly diminishes the look of dark circles and crow's feet.
HORSE
1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
Lemonade Smoothing Scrub is most like the Horse, which is typically associated with being active, energetic and animated. With AHAs, lemon peel and sugar, this exfoliating face scrub instantly retexturizes, polishes and reduces the look of pores. Plus... it's just a lot of fun. There's something so satisfying about physical exfoliants that smell yummy.
SNAKE
1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
The enigmatic Snake felt the most like our Firmly Yours Toning Dry Body Oil. It tones skin topically and is a dry oil. It's a contradiction in a bottle. Like the smart Snake, this body oil is intelligently formulated. With Scandinavian botanical oils, peptides and sweet white lupin, the application is sensorially stimulating and the result is soft and smooth skin.
DRAGON
1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
Confident, intelligent and enthusiastic, the Dragon feels like it'd be Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum. This powerful age-defying serum is formulated with 15% vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and 5% PHA for brighter, bouncier skin in 7 days.* It doesn't spit fire or anything like that, but the formula IS orange because it's our highest concentration of vitamin C. Plus it defends against external aggressors... like a DRAGON!
Each sign is different, just like each of our products. But just like the lunar calendar, they all fit together to create a complete harmonious system. This year, give your loved ones the gift of a renewed skincare ritual based on their lunar zodiac sign to make sure this year will be their glowiest ever!
Wishing you abundance, joy and laughter!
