How Hormones Impact Your Skin: From Acne to Sensitivity

Ever wondered why your skin is so unstable? Hormones might be the reasons behind oily skin, breakouts, & even the pore size. Let’s find out how cycle phases would affect your skin!
 

How Hormones Affect Your Skin?

Your hormones like estrogen and testosterone directly influence your skin’s oiliness, hydration, and sensitivity. For example:

• Before Your Period: Oil production spikes, often triggering acne and clogged pores.
• Estrogen Levels: High estrogen gives your skin that radiant glow, while low levels can make it feel dry and sensitive.
   

Hormones and Your Skin Cycle 🔄

Day 1-7: Menstrual Phase (Dry & Sensitive Skin)

• What Happens: Estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest, leading to dry, sensitive skin.
• Skincare Tip: Hydrate with a serum and moisturizer to repair your skin barrier.
• Pores: Skin loses elasticity, making pores look more visible.

Pro Tip: Pamper your skin with Diamond HA+ Mesotherapy for intense hydration and pore refinement. 💎💧

Day 8-14: Follicular Phase (Glowing Skin)

• What Happens: Estrogen rises, giving you a natural glow and smoother texture.
• Skincare Tip: Use vitamin C serums to boost radiance and protect against free radicals.
• Pores: Reduced oil production means smaller-looking pores.

Pro Tip: If dealing with pigmentation, consider a PICO Glow Laser treatment for brighter, even-toned skin. ✨🌈

Day 15-21: Ovulation Phase (Clogged Pores)

• What Happens: Estrogen peaks, and testosterone levels rise slightly, causing oil production to increase.
• Skincare Tip: Use a gentle exfoliant to prevent clogged pores and keep skin balanced.
• Pores: Sebum increase may make pores appear larger.

Pro Tip: Opt for a Deep Pore Cleansing Treatment to detoxify and clear impurities for smoother, healthier skin. 💧✨

Day 22-28: Luteal Phase (Oil Alert)

• What Happens: Progesterone increases, leading to oilier skin and potential breakouts.
• Skincare Tip: Incorporate salicylic acid or niacinamide to control oil and reduce inflammation.
• Pores: Extra oil can temporarily enlarge pores, so stick to oil-free products.

Pro Tip: If your pores are getting clogged and you’re seeing breakouts, don’t worry! Specialized treatments like the Beeswax Pore Laser PRO can help target enlarged pores and keep your skin looking fresh. 💆‍♀️

How Hormones Affect Pores 🕳️💦

Your pores are like tiny windows into your skin health, and hormones hold the key!

• Testosterone: Increases oil production, making pores appear larger.
• Estrogen: Keeps pores tight by balancing sebum and supporting skin elasticity.
• Progesterone: Triggers water retention, leading to puffiness and visible pores.

💡 Fact: Pores don’t “open” or “close.” Their appearance depends on oil levels, hydration, and skin elasticity.

How Hormones Can Cause Acne & Pore Problems 🐾

Hormonal shifts can trigger acne and pore issues, especially in the lead-up to your period. Higher levels of androgens (male hormones) increase oil production, which can clog pores and result in acne.

Did you know? The increase in sebum production just before your period is one of the reasons for those pesky pimples. 👹
 

Dealing with Hormonal Acne 💥

For many, hormonal acne is a monthly visitor. But don’t worry! There are effective treatments to help manage it:

• Beeswax Pore Laser PRO: Targets excess oil and reduces clogged pores for smoother, clearer skin.
   

• Deep Pore Cleansing Treatment: Detoxifies skin and clears impurities for a brighter, healthier glow. ✨

Both treatments are perfect for anyone dealing with acne, pigmentation, and clogged pores.
