Why do I look prettier after my period?

You look prettier after your period because rising estrogen levels (Follicular Phase) boost collagen, hydration, and skin firmness, leading to a natural glow, smaller pores, and less inflammation, while progesterone's rise later in the cycle causes oiliness and breakouts. This "post-period glow" comes from better-hydrated, smoother, plumper skin, making it your body's peak time for looking and feeling your best.

Do you get prettier before or after your period?

Most people find they look their best after their period, during the follicular phase, when rising estrogen boosts collagen, hydration, and plumpness, creating clearer, glowing skin; conversely, before your period (luteal phase), progesterone increases oil and breakouts, leading to duller, greasier skin, making the post-period time generally favored for appearance.
 

When in your cycle are you most attractive?

You're generally considered most attractive during the fertile/ovulatory phase, when hormones like estrogen peak, making faces appear softer, skin clearer, and overall features more symmetrical, while also boosting confidence and outward behavior, leading to higher perceived attractiveness by others and heightened self-perception.

Do you actually look prettier when ovulating?

You might feel nicer on your period because rising estrogen levels during the follicular phase (which starts with your period) boost mood-regulating serotonin, leading to more happiness, energy, and sociability, while the drop in premenstrual irritability (often linked to falling progesterone) signals a shift to feeling more positive and less PMS-driven. It's a natural hormonal shift from the negative PMS feelings back to a brighter, more optimistic state as your cycle restarts. 

Does my face change when I'm on my period?

Yes, your face can change during your period due to hormonal fluctuations, leading to common issues like acne, oiliness, dryness, puffiness, or dullness, as estrogen and progesterone levels shift, impacting skin barrier, collagen, and sebum production. These changes are normal, affecting texture, tone, and sensitivity as hormone levels drop before menstruation, making skin duller and more reactive, while higher progesterone earlier in the cycle can clog pores.

Most men don't notice because periods are internal, but some men attuned to partners' hormonal shifts might detect these subtle differences, especially with long-term familiarity, rather than smelling blood directly.
