A lunar and menstrual cycle synergy.
⠀
It is incredible how the full moon has a similar energy to the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. As ovulation is one point in time, when all of the hormones are aligned and the egg is totally ready to conceive; it can be difficult to distinguish the exact time of ovulation. However, there are many tests including basal body temperature (BBT) recording and hormone tests that help to identify ovulation. Thankfully, during the period surrounding ovulation, the body gives little clues such as: soft, lubricant and stretchy vaginal secretions, increased social feelings, arousal and appetite and often clear, vibrant skin.
It is exciting because even those who struggle with periods that are m.i.a. can use the divine timings and energies of the moon to cycle your routines alongside.
⠀
These phases are all about expression, outward focus for creativity, communication, empathy, teamwork and supporting others.
⠀
As we embrace the full moon, you could ask yourself: what would I like to create more of in my life right now? How do I feel? What could I do to give myself some time to slow down and take care during the coming weeks?
Do you feel any full moon clarity?
Start noticing, what comes up for you at this time? If you start to track how you feel during each menstrual phase and/or each moon phase, see if you can spot any recurring patterns. Write them down in your journal or on your symptom tracker.

We are cyclical beings that go through days and nights, moon phases and the seasons. In just the same way as our outdoor nature. Our bodies have natural cycles called circadian rhythms, which explains why we generally tend to wake up when it’s light outside, and retreat when it goes dark. Linear methods and rules just don’t quite cut it and cycling routines (eating habits and skincare included) can be an incredibly freeing thing to do.
It is due to the full moon and ovulation phases which combine to embody expression, sensual feelings and creativity, that the ovulation phase oil cleanser artwork and ingredients were expressed. I hope you enjoy cycling your skincare routine alongside your phases.
