Many people notice changes in their skin throughout their cycle—and nutrition may play a role in supporting overall skin wellness.

Flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds contain nutrients like lignans, zinc, and healthy fats, which are commonly included in routines aimed at supporting hormone-related functions.
