The luteal phase is often when we see more activity on the skin: jawline breakouts, cystic acne, rosacea flares, puffiness, congestion, dehydration.
In this episode, I walk you through what’s happening hormonally, neurologically, and metabolically during early and late luteal, and how those shifts show up on the skin.
We explore:
Why progesterone raises your temperature and shifts your nervous system
Early vs late luteal (two very different personalities)
How stress and unstable blood sugar amplify PMS and breakouts
Why sleep becomes more fragile before your bleed
Slower digestion, hormone recirculation, and jawline acne
Why you can be oily and dehydrated at the same time
Lymphatic stagnation, fluid retention, and cystic breakouts
How I use warm gua sha to reduce inflammation and interstitial pressure
Topical strategies for barrier support and sensitivity
The foods that support luteal skin (warm carbs, healthy fats, elimination support)
The herbal teas I reach for during this phase
This episode blends modern physiology with a corneotherapeutic and herbalist lens.
