Dryness in your menstrual phase
Dryness is tight, flaky, or rough-feeling skin that drinks up moisture. In your menstrual phase, estrogen and progesterone are low, so skin is often drier, more reactive, and a little dull.
What to do
Layer a hydrating serum under a richer moisturiser and seal it while skin is damp.
