Five Beauty Signs You're in Your Venus Week |
| |
| • | Skin is clearer, with decreased acne and blemishes | | • | Skin is more elastic and hydrated, giving you that “glow” | | • | Hair is fuller, softer and has more shine | | • | Improved flexibility and muscle tone | | • | Reduced appetite, fewer cravings and a feeling of being svelte – some of my patients call this their “skinny days” | | | | How do we bottle the natural beauty of these idyllic 5-7 days? I’d like to say you can, but the natural ebb and flow of our hormones leads to inevitable changes in skin and hair. With the insight of what is happening as your cycle changes, you can learn to predict and prevent skin problems as well as let your natural beauty shine through when you are Venus. |

Venus Maximizing Beauty Tips |
| |
| • | During your Venus Week wear as little make-up as possible, let your natural glow shine through. | | • | During Minerva and Reset increase moisturizer to offset the decrease in estrogen and shop for antioxidant rich moisturizers. | | • | Give yourself a facial during week 4 of your cycle – when you are moving into the all-time-low hormone phase (Reset). | | • | Know when you are blemish prone and use a product with salicylic acid daily to help reduce or prevent acne. | | • | Reduce sugar and starches in the non-Venus phases of your cycle. Insulin surges cause breakouts and an overall feeling of bloat. | | • | The natural sebum created in your Venus Week increases shine in your hair – topical application of silicone hair shine can help replicate this effect throughout your cycle. | | • | During Minerva and Reset phases focus on your nutrition and be sure to take the supplements mentioned in Chapter 3, The Venus Week for the weak or waning Venus. |
