Cycle Syncing Skincare: Glow Through Every Phase
Your skin is one of the most visible places your hormones show up. Estrogen keeps skin plump and clear, while the progesterone-driven luteal phase ramps up oil and breakouts. Syncing your skincare to these shifts helps you stay clear and glowing all month.
That means knowing when to exfoliate and use actives, when to keep things gentle, and how to handle the hormonal acne that tends to appear before your period.
The guides below cover what your skin needs in each phase and how to clear hormonal breakouts.
