Cycle
Do you notice more skin breakouts a few days before your period kicks in? Or perhaps your skin is duller and drier on the first few days of your cycle? That’s because your menstrual cycle impacts your skin’s health and appearance. In this article, you’ll learn how different stages of the menstrual cycle affect your skin and tips to adapt your skincare based on your cycle phases.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a group of symptoms, or “syndrome”, that affects the ovaries and ovulation. It is common in women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male hormones). This hormone imbalance disturbs the menstrual cycle—infrequent or prolonged periods; and the ovaries may develop numerous follicles (small sacs of fluid that produce hormones and influence fertility) and fail to release eggs regularly, which makes it difficult to get pregnant. An accurate and early diagnosis makes it easier to get the proper treatment to manage symptoms.
