Hormonal breakouts aren't just clogged pores. It's a sign of imbalance.
When oestrogen is stable, skin is balanced.
When androgen influence increases, oil rises.
Your hormones move in phases, so does your skin.
Menstrual phase
Oestrogen and progesterone is low, whilst androgens are stable. Skin may feel sensitive, reactive, or inflamed as the cycle resets.
Follicular phase
Oestrogen rises while androgens remain stable. Oil production is more balanced, and skin often appears clearer and brighter.
Ovulation phase
Oestrogen peaks and a small rise in androgens can occur. Skin may look glowy but hormone-sensitive skin may notice congestion.
Luteal phase
Oestrogen drops while progesterone rises, increasing relative androgen influence. Oil production increases, causing pre-period breakouts.
