How to Choose Between Synced Skin’s Two Botanical Pairings

The four full-size Synced Skin serums and balms arranged on grass

Synced Skin has two botanical pairings for four phases of your cycle. Each brings together a jojoba-based face serum and a matching tallow balm. The phase guides the pairing; serum first and balm second stays the same.
