That’s how many women around the world report having some degree of sensitive skin. Ouch. 

Enter: Cetaphil, a 75-year-old, dermatologist-trusted brand that can help you gently and effectively care for your skin. They take sensitive skin seriously. In fact, they’re sharing advice, tips, and recs on their Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok pages alllll March long in honor of Sensitive Skin Awareness Month (yes, that’s happening now). They’re even giving away some products to celebrate. You won’t wanna miss it.

Me to me: I could really use some sleep. *Cues up next Netflix episode instead.* Sound familiar? Join us tonight at 7:30pm ET for our next virtual SkimmU Well course: Catch Some Zzz’s, presented by Athleta.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (aka PCOS) affects one in 10 women of childbearing age, according to the Dept of Health and Human Services. And some experts estimate that up to 75% of people with PCOS remain undiagnosed — even after visiting their doctor. 

PCOS can impact your menstrual cycle, metabolism, health, appearance, and fertility. There isn’t a cure, but there are steps you can take to manage the symptoms and side effects. And LetsGetChecked’s at-home test can provide hormonal insights that can help you and your health care provider determine whether you have PCOS. You’ll get clinician-reviewed results two to five days after your sample arrives at their lab. Learn more.
