Sensitivity in your luteal phase

Sensitivity is easily stinging, reactive skin that flares with new products. In your luteal phase, progesterone rises and oil production climbs, so pores clog more easily and breakouts appear.

Protect the barrier with a short, soothing routine and introduce one product at a time.
