Your Skincare Routine Is Stuck in One Phase — Your Hormones Aren't
What if your skin issues—breakouts, dullness, inflammation—weren’t random, but deeply connected to your cycle?In today’s episode, we are sharing a recent conversation we had on the Revital Health Podcast with Jodi Duval.

We unpack the truth behind buzzy trends like salmon sperm facials and RF microneedling, and why they’re often more harmful than helpful.If you’ve ever felt like your skincare routine stops working mid-month, this episode will explain why—and how to fix it.Jodi Duval is a clinical naturopath and the founder of Revital Health Clinic, specializing in integrative and functional medicine.
