Mercury’s back in reverse and things are getting weird ... From double-booked clients and tech tantrums to emotional skincare breakdowns and ghosts of routines past (literally and metaphorically).

In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos and cosmic insight of Mercury Retrograde, Skin Witch style. I’m breaking down what this planetary backspin actually means, how it shows up in your nervous system and on your skin, and why now is the time to chill the f*ck out, not change your entire routine.

We’ll talk treatment room stories, barrier repair basics, and retrograde-safe beauty rituals. Plus, I’m serving up a mystical little Elemental Forecast for each sign group, so you can ride the waves (or fires) with more grace and way less breakouts.

🔊In this episode:

• ✨Why Mercury Retrograde scrambles your tech, tongue, and skincare

• ✨Retrograde weirdness in the treatment room

• ✨Your Skin Witch-approved Rx for skin & soul support

• An Elemental Astro Forecast for air, fire, water & earth signs

  🕯️ Skin Witch Reminder:
  You don’t need to fear retrograde — you just need to slow down, stay hydrated, and maybe put the retinol down for a second.
