Loveliest, have you ever noticed that your skin feels drier than usual before your period, but feels more hydrated and looks glowier afterward? As it turns out, your menstrual cycle can affect your skin because your hormone levels change throughout each phase.

The hormones we're talking about are estrogen and progesterone. Both can affect your skin's moisture levels, hydration, and even its skin barrier. That's why your skin may feel healthier during one phase, but drier, more sensitive, or even duller during another.

The menstrual cycle has four phases: menstruation, the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. Understanding these phases can help you recognize changes in your body and adjust your body care routine to better suit your skin's needs.

So, how does each phase of your menstrual cycle affect your skin, MinLove? Let's dive into the details, Loveliest!

THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE

1. Menstrual Phase

During the menstrual phase, your body sheds the lining of the uterus. This phase typically lasts around 3–7 days. Estrogen and progesterone levels drop during this time, which may make your skin more prone to losing its natural moisture.

As a result, your skin may feel drier, rougher, and more sensitive than usual. That's why keeping your skin hydrated during your period is important.

💡Pro Tip: Avoid showering with overly hot water and make sure you drink enough fluids to help keep your skin hydrated from within. Complete your body care routine with Emeron Lovely White UV Nutrient Bright. Its Milk and Almond Oil help moisturize and nourish your skin.

2. Folicullar Phase

Once your period ends, your body enters the follicular phase. During this phase, estrogen levels begin to rise, helping your skin gradually return to a more balanced state. Your skin may start to feel fresher, smoother, and more hydrated than before.

As your skin begins to feel better, this is a great time to stay consistent with your body care routine.

💡Pro Tip: Eat a balanced, nutritious diet to help keep your skin healthy. Complete your body care routine with Emeron Lovely White UV Nature Bright, formulated with Jicama to help your skin look naturally brighter while keeping it moisturized throughout the day.

3. Ovulation Phase

Did you know, Loveliest, that ovulation is often considered a time when your body is at its best? That's because estrogen levels reach their peak around this phase, influencing your skin's condition.

During this phase of your menstrual cycle, your skin may feel more hydrated and supple, with a healthy glow. However, even when your skin seems to be at its best, it's still important to take care of it, Loveliest. Keep your skin healthy and protected from sun exposure and pollution as you go about your daily activities.

💡Pro Tip: Try light exercise to help support skin elasticity and leave you feeling refreshed. Complete your body care routine with Emeron Lovely White UV Glowy Bright, formulated with Jeju Orange Extract to help your skin look brighter and glowier every day!

4. Luteal Phase

After ovulation, your body enters the luteal phase. During this phase, progesterone levels rise, and your skin may become more prone to losing its natural moisture. As a result, your skin may look duller and less fresh, and feel drier as your next period approaches.

That's why your skin may need some extra care during this phase to help maintain hydration and keep it feeling moisturized.

💡Pro Tip: Avoid showering with overly hot water, drink enough fluids, maintain a healthy sleep schedule, and eat nutritious foods to help keep your skin healthy. Complete your routine with Emeron Lovely White UV Insta Bright, formulated with Pearl Extract to help give your skin a radiant, pearl-like glow while keeping it moisturized and comfortable.

These are some of the ways your menstrual cycle can affect your skin each month. Each phase brings different changes to your skin as your hormone levels fluctuate. Your skin may feel drier or more sensitive at certain times, while feeling more hydrated and looking glowier at others.

That's why it's important to maintain a regular skin care routine and adjust it to your skin's needs so it stays healthy and comfortable throughout every phase.
