[12] THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE BUNDLE

Learning more about my body, skin and emotions throughout my period cycle has been a massive game changer for me and has allowed me to better understand how to better respond to my personal needs at different phases of my cycle. 

Menstrual Phase: Tea Tee Mask is my best friend here as it helps soothe the skin which typically feels sensitive in the first 3 days. 

Follicular Phase: Skin is usually bounced back here. Sometimes I do a brightening mask right after my period, mainly to thank myself for being a rockstar and getting through the pain of it all. 

Ovulation Phase: Skin is usually glowing here. I maintain my normal routine here and always make sure to incorporate hydration steps. (Snail mucin, Peptide, Hyaluronic Acid, etc.)

Luteal Phase: A few days before my period, I typically get a minor breakout so I always  have a green tea. As soon as I see the first pimple pop up I add the mask to my evening routine for that day. This doesn't mean I don't get the breakouts altogether, however, I did find that the life cycle of the pimples are significantly shorter and fewer pimples appear. 

Pimple Patches: I've never used pimple patches but I have friends who swear by them.

As always, please apply your  mind to your own experience of your cycle and consult the relevant specialists as necessary.
