Hey, ladies! Your menstrual cycle is more than just your period. It’s a full-body experience that affects how you feel, how your skin behaves and how much energy you have. At Deyga, we understand the shifts that happen during each phase and believe in supporting women with nature-powered care through every stage.

Here’s a simple guide to what you are during each phase of your menstrual cycle. Once you understand this rhythm, working with your body instead of against it becomes easier.

Menstrual Phase (Day 1 to 5): When Your Body Asks You to Slow Down

This is when bleeding begins. Oestrogen and progesterone levels drop, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining. You may feel more tired than usual, your skin can appear dull or dry and bloating is common.

This is the time when your body is doing internal repair work, so rest and recovery should be your priority. Eat iron-rich meals, drink warm fluids and go easy on intense workouts. Hydrating skincare and soothing body care can make a noticeable difference.

We recommend pampering yourself with calming essentials like our Aloe Vera Gel during this phase. Gentle nourishment works best when your skin and mood both need extra care.

Follicular Phase (Day 6 to 14): When You Feel Fresh and Recharged

Right after your period ends, the body starts preparing for ovulation. Oestrogen levels rise steadily and this gives you more energy, better focus and a lighter mood. Your skin starts to look clear and balanced.

This is the best time to try new things. Whether it’s switching up your skincare routine or beginning a new project, your mind and body are in sync. You may also notice improved workout performance and higher motivation during the follicular phase.

Ovulation Phase (Around Day 14): When You’re at Your Peak

Ovulation is the phase when the egg is released. This usually happens around the middle of the cycle. Your oestrogen levels are at their highest, giving you that glow, confidence and charm you didn’t even ask for.

Many women feel more social, outgoing and physically active at this time. Your skin may look its best and your mood is generally more stable. This is your body’s fertile window.

We suggest keeping up with your routine using lightweight, non-comedogenic products to maintain the natural radiance that comes with this phase.

Luteal Phase (Day 15 to 28): When You Seek Comfort

After ovulation, progesterone takes over. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, hormone levels begin to drop, leading to common PMS symptoms like mood swings, bloating, tiredness and skin breakouts.

This is when you may feel more sensitive emotionally and physically. Your skin might become oilier and prone to acne. It’s the perfect time to slow things down, eat magnesium-rich foods and invest in comforting rituals.

Using our purifying skincare essentials, like Charcoal Bath Bar or Spirulina Face Pack, in this phase, keep skin issues in check before your next cycle begins.

Trust Your Cycle, Trust Nature

Your menstrual cycle is not just about periods. Each phase brings a different version of you. At Deyga, we believe that natural wellness should adapt to your rhythm. With the right self-care, every phase can be supported gently and effectively.

Let your menstrual cycle guide your self-care routine. Your body already knows what it needs, we’re just here to help you listen.
