Silvery moonlight can create a surface luminosity, an incandescence, a glow on the skin like nothing else. And in the spirit of our celestial issue, we thought we’d share some heavenly balms and serums—with silky botanical oils like rosehip, avocado, coconut, and more—that come pretty close to the magic of a face bathed in moonlight. Here are some of our favorites.

A luscious blend of pure, nourishing plant oils—coconut, sunflower, and rosehip—cleans and hydrates the skin and guarantees a gorgeous glow. trilogyproducts.com

8 Faces Beauty Balm Boundless Solid Oil
According to 8 Faces Beauty, “self-care is sacred,” and this balm does indeed elevate the simplest of beauty rituals—moisturizing the skin—to high art. With grapefruit, lavender, and geranium, the balm transforms from solid to liquid before it melts into the skin. Some jars come with a surprise: a healing citrine crystal to hold near. http://8facesbeauty.com
