The Beauty of Cycle-Synced Treatments
Matching Facials, Sauna & Hair Appointments to Your Hormones
When it comes to beauty and self-care, timing really can be everything. Just as your hormones influence your mood, energy, and skin, they can also affect how your body responds to treatments. By aligning your facials, sauna visits, and even hair appointments with your cycle, you can not only maximise results but also feel more in tune with your body.
Welcome to the world of cycle-synced treatments; a way of working with your hormones, not against them.
Follicular Phase (Days 1–13): Fresh Energy & Clear Skin
As your period ends and estrogen rises, your energy begins to lift, and your skin often feels clearer and more balanced. This is the perfect time to:
Book a sauna session: Your energy levels are up, making it a great time to sweat it out and detox.
Schedule lighter facials: Think hydration and glow-boosting treatments that enhance your naturally balanced skin.
Hair refresh: If you’re colouring or cutting, your hair is often more resilient in this phase.
Ovulation Phase (Days 14–16): Peak Glow
Ovulation is when estrogen is at its highest, often giving you that natural “lit from within” glow. Take advantage of this sweet spot by:
Booking professional treatments like skin needling, LED, or advanced facials allows your skin to be at its strongest here.
Locking in important events: This is when your hair and makeup will likely look their absolute best.
Self-care rituals: Treat yourself to a feel-good sauna or blowout to amplify your confidence during this naturally radiant phase.
Luteal Phase (Days 17–28): Sensitive Skin & Slower Energy
As progesterone rises, your skin may become oilier, more breakout-prone, or sensitive, especially in the days leading up to your period. This is where nourishing, soothing treatments are key:
Opt for calming facials to reduce inflammation and rebalance the skin.
Skip harsher treatments like extractions or peels that can irritate.
Slow down with sauna therapy; gentle sessions can help with bloating and stress, but keep them shorter if you’re feeling fatigued.
Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5): Rest & Repair
During your period, your body craves rest, and so does your skin. This is your cue for:
At-home care with gentle, restorative products.
Scalp massages or nourishing hair masks instead of intensive salon treatments.
Skip the sauna if your energy is low, opt for lighter movement like walking or stretching.
Product of the Month: Land Essentials Clay Mask
The Land Essentials Clay Mask is the perfect companion for cycle-synced beauty - especially in your luteal or menstrual phase, when skin can feel congested or dull.
Formulated with Australian kaolin clay and botanicals, it draws out impurities without stripping, while restoring balance and calm to the skin. Think of it as a reset button: clarifying, soothing, and strengthening your complexion when hormones are causing chaos.
Britt and the team love pairing it with a hydrating serum afterwards to restore plumpness - making it a versatile must-have no matter where you are in your cycle.
