Skin
Skin rarely changes in isolation. Breakouts, dryness, eczema and sensitivity often track with hormones, stress, sleep and the products you’re using.
This is the place to understand the patterns behind recurring skin changes — and to start noticing what your skin has been responding to all along.
What this area covers
Acne and hormonal breakouts, eczema and sensitivity, oiliness and dryness, and how skin shifts across the menstrual cycle.

What this often looks like
- Breakouts that arrive at the same point each cycle
- Deeper, tender spots on the chin and jawline
- Eczema that flares during stressful or sleep-deprived spells
- Skin that reacts after a product or routine change
When to seek support
See a GP or dermatologist if acne is painful or scarring, if eczema is widespread, weeping or infected, or if a mole or patch of skin is changing.
