Take
the skin quiz. A few questions about your cycle and your skin, and it suggests
the right serum for this moment.
A serum is usually lightweight and contains concentrated active ingredients that target specific skin concerns. A moisturiser focuses on hydrating your skin, locking in moisture and supporting your skin barrier. Think of a serum as targeted care and a moisturiser as daily hydration and protection. They complement each other and can be used together.
It depends on how often you use it each day and how long your phase lasts, as cycle length can vary from person to person. If you use the full Ritual Set according to your cycle, one set lasts around 3 months, with some serums lasting a little longer than others.
Yes.
Apply your serum on clean skin, before your moisturiser. Using retinol or
exfoliating acids? Keep them for different evenings rather than layering them,
and give your skin a few days to adjust.
Hormones influence sebum, hydration, inflammation and sensitivity throughout the cycle. Your skin is responding, not misbehaving.
Irregular cycles are common, and your skin still has its own rhythm. Follow your skin rather than the calendar: pick the serum that matches what it needs today. The skin quiz can help.
Hormonal fluctuations don’t stop at perimenopause, they change. Trop Fraîche will support your skin through this stage.
Start counting on the first day of your period: that’s day 1. In a typical 28-day cycle, menstruation lasts around days 1 to 5, the follicular phase continues until ovulation around day 14, and the luteal phase follows until your next period. Every cycle is different, so these timings are only averages.
To help you track your cycle, you can use an app or wearable, or simply start noticing changes in your skin, body and mood. Over time, you’ll get to know your body’s unique patterns.
