FAQ
Cycle syncing is the practice of adjusting your lifestyle—skincare, diet, exercise, and self-care—based on the phases of your menstrual cycle. Throughout the month, your hormones naturally fluctuate, affecting your energy levels, mood, skin, and overall well-being.
Cycle syncing skincare involves adjusting your skincare routine to align with the phases of your menstrual cycle. Each phase of the cycle brings hormonal changes that affect your skin.
Follicular Phase (Days 1–14): Your skin may feel smoother and more hydrated due to rising estrogen levels.
Ovulation (Day 14–16): Estrogen peaks, making your skin look radiant, but it can also cause increased oil production.
Luteal Phase (Days 17–28): Progesterone spikes, which may lead to breakouts, dryness, or irritation.
Menstruation (Days 1–5): Skin can feel sensitive, and hormonal fluctuations may cause redness or puffiness.
- Balances your skin during hormonal fluctuations
- Prevents breakouts during the luteal phase
- Enhances glow and hydration during the follicular phase
- Reduces inflammation and sensitivity during menstruation
- Tailors your skincare routine to optimize results based on your unique needs
Follicular Phase (7-11 Days, Post-Period): Begins after your period ends and lasts about a week.
Ovulatory Phase (3-5 Days): When you ovulate.
Luteal Phase (12-16 Days, Leading Up To Your Period): Progesterone rises as your body preps for your period.
Menstrual Phase (5-7 Days, Your Period): Your body sheds the uterine lining if the egg was not fertilized during ovulation.
Absolutely! Even if you’re not menstruating (due to menopause, birth control, or other factors), you can still benefit from cycle syncing skincare.
It’s recommended to use the full skincare line to fully support your skin through all cycle phases. However, if you prefer to start with just one set, choose based on your skin’s primary needs:
- Acne & inflammation: Luteal & Menstrual Phase products help calm breakouts and irritation.
- Hydration & glow: Follicular & Ovulatory Phase products enhance moisture and elasticity.
Use the Follicular & Ovulatory (F/O) Line during the Follicular and Ovulatory phases for hydration and glow.
Use the Luteal & Menstrual (L/M) Line during the Luteal and Menstrual phases to calm acne and inflammation.
