Dryness in your follicular phase
Dryness is tight, flaky, or rough-feeling skin that drinks up moisture. In your follicular phase, rising estrogen boosts collagen and hydration, so skin usually looks plumper and clearer.
What to do
Layer a hydrating serum under a richer moisturiser and seal it while skin is damp.
Ingredients that help
