Period Skincare
How cycle syncing your skincare to your cycle can help those painful break outs. No two cycles are the same, so listen to your body and identify how it responds to hormonal change.
THE MENSTRUAL PHASE:
Menstruation is commonly known as a period. When you menstruate, your uterus lining sheds and flows out of your vagina. Your period last on average between 3-7 Days. Many people notice their energy takes a dip and you start feeling fired, withdrawn and sad.
Take Some You Time
With your hormones such as your oestrogen and progesterone being at their lowest it will cause the feeling mentioned above. But this isn’t the only thing that your period causes. Due to your hormones being so low, your skin will produce less sebum, which means you can experience the feeling of dryness, sensitivity and your skin will be prone to blemishes and acne.
This stage of your cycle you want to be treating you and your skin kindly. We recommend keeping your skin moisturised due to the lack on sebum. But it’s not just what you put on your skin that’s important. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water to help your body and skin stay hydrated and make sure you’re eating enough food to energise yourself for the day.

THE FOLLICULAR PHASE:
During your follicular phase, you may see that your skin gets better and better. This is due to your brain releasing a hormone which stimulate the production of follicles on the surface of an ovary. Usually, only one follicle will mature into an egg. This can happen from day 10 of your cycle. During this phase, your uterus lining also thickens in preparation for pregnancy. Meaning your estragon levels start to rise which brings a natural skin glow with it.
Renew Your Skin
You may notice improvements in your skin, and it looks bouncier and feels firmer. Oil production will spike up a little and dead skin cells can build up meaning products that renew and hydrate your skin are a go to! At this stage, some women can find that their skin can feel and look drier than at other stages and in some cases the skin may also be more sensitive.
So, while we do need to renew the skin it is also important to still be mindful that it may not have fully recovered from its sensitive and dehydrated stage.

THE OVULATION PHASE:
Ovulation is when a mature egg is released from an ovary and moves along a fallopian tube towards your uterus. This usually happens once each month, about two weeks before your next period. Ovulation can last from 16 to 32 hours. In addition to estragon, testosterone levels are at their peak, and this spike is what causes ovulation.

This may be the best skin you see every month, due to the increase in hormones your skin is likely to look bouncy, clear, and more radiant. But this may not be the case for everyone.

THE LUTEAL PHASE:
After ovulation, cells in the ovary (the corpus luteum), release progesterone and a small amount of oestrogen. This causes the lining of the uterus to thicken in preparation for pregnancy. The luteal phase signals a farewell to your estragon. As estragon drops, the premenstrual phase usually leads to acne due to the rise in progesterone.
Take it Steady.
When progesterone is high, it causes skin to swell, so one may experience inflammatory acne. This is due to the surge in sebum production so pores may become clogged, and blemishes appear.
