What it is
Hormonal fluctuations significantly impact the skin, especially during life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause and the menstrual cycle.
How it works in skincare
Changes in hormone levels can lead to acne, increased oil production, pigmentation and sensitivity. For example, rising androgen levels during puberty often cause breakouts, while decreased oestrogen during menopause contributes to dryness, skin laxity and sagging.
Skincare tailored to these changes, such as salicylic acid for acne or hyaluronic acid for hydration, can help manage symptoms.
Consulting a dermatologist ensures the best approach to maintain healthy, balanced skin throughout these hormonal shifts.
