Getting to Know Your Phases and Hormones
Now that you're obsessing over the idea that there's a skin care line tailored to your hormones, why not take the time to become better acquainted with each of your hormonal phases and how you can help your skin along the way?

THE LUTHEAL PHASE

When: Typically 10 days before your period

What: During this phase, estrogen levels start to decrease while progesterone levels increase, leading to an increase in sebum production causing a higher likelihood of breakouts. To help prevent skin from breaking out, Zhao says to look for ingredients that have antiseptic power to calm inflammation, while preventing against excess build-up.

THE MENSTRUAL PHASE

When: During your period

What: During this phase, estrogen and progesterone levels fall and body temperature and blood circulation will be lower than usual. As a result, skin may appear dull and sebum production may decrease, leading to low moisture retention. To help brighten skin and lessen the appearance of dullness, Zhao recommends products that are high in Vitamin C and antioxidants.

THE FOLLICULAR PHASE

When: The first day of menstruation through ovulation.

What: During post-menstruation to the start of ovulation, skin is generally in its best condition. Zhao encourages using products that contain active ingredients during this time period.

This moisturizing cream is formulated to provide intense moisture and comfort while you sleep. Formulated with vegan hyaluronic acid, meadowfoam seed oil and shea butter, this rich cream is designed to support the skin's nightly restorative phase and to rejuvenate tired skin.

Formulated for mothers who are breastfeeding, this velvety 98% organic breast oil contains nurturing ingredients to help soothe chapped skin and to calm sensitivity to bring peace to mothers and babies.

While it's meant for women who are breastfeeding, anyone can benefit from adding this luscious oil to their skin care routine. Since it's made with premium oils and natural vitamin E, free of synthetic preservatives or synthetic fragrances, it makes for a luxurious body massage oil.

Much like breasts become sensitive and sore, growing pregnant bellies can as well. To help prevent signs of stretch marks and support skin elasticity, Amareta launched this sunflower oil, jojoba oil and natural Vitamin E combo to soothe not only your skin but your mood.
