Dullness in your ovulatory phase

Dullness is tired, flat, uneven-looking skin that lacks glow. In your ovulatory phase, estrogen peaks and skin tends to look its best, glowing and even, though oil can creep up.

What to do

Add gentle exfoliation and an antioxidant in the morning to revive radiance.
