FAQs

What is Cycle-Based Skincare?

Cycle based 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.

How does my menstrual cycle affect my 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.

What are the benefits of using cycle-based skincare products?

  • 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

How can I figure out which phase of my cycle I’m in?

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.

Can I use cycle-based skincare if I’m not menstruating?

Absolutely! Even if you’re not menstruating (due to menopause, birth control, or other factors), you can still benefit from cycle syncing skincare.

Do I need to buy different products for each phase?

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.

How do I incorporate Synced Skin products into my skincare routine?

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.

How soon will I see results with cycle-based skincare?

Results vary, but with regular use, most people see noticeable improvements within 1-2 cycles.
