This Lunar New Year ushers in the Year of the Horse. On 17 February, the Year of the Snake ends, and the Year of the Horse gallops into your life.
In a nutshell, 2025 was the year of shedding what no longer served us. It was the year of quiet contemplation, reevaluating, reorganising and in practical terms a time to declutter, rethink and reassess.

To help you welcome the Year of the Horse, here is our 2026 skincare guide.

Intentional Skincare for the Horse Year
The Year of the Horse is about setting clear, intentional goals and moving forward to reach them in a consistent way. When choosing skincare, instead of reaching for quick fixes, set a longer-term goal of what you want to achieve for you and your skin.
Barrier restoration, hydration and nourishment is key to healthy skin, so invest in skincare that helps protect and build your barrier.
We love Bf Restore Face and Body Serum and Hydra Calm Bio Cellulose Sheet Mask for hydration at its best.
Choose nourishing Br Rosehip Oil or lightweight By Blackberry Seed Oil to help lock in moisture, protecting the skin barrier with key vitamins and essential fatty acids.
With mindfulness and simplicity key this Horse Year, simplify your regime with a daily cleanser, serum and SPF and apply intentionally. Choose optional extras as required.
Balance the Fire Energy
As the Horse has fire energy this year, it can also be bold, action-packed and progressive, so it’s important to nourish yourself to avoid burnout. Try sauna sessions, massage, professional treatments, meditation, exercise, and set a regular sleep pattern to recharge, recover and rebalance from the fast-moving nature of the fire horse.
