Dryness in your luteal phase

Dryness is tight, flaky, or rough-feeling skin that drinks up moisture. In your luteal phase, progesterone rises and oil production climbs, so pores clog more easily and breakouts appear.

What to do

Layer a hydrating serum under a richer moisturiser and seal it while skin is damp.
