Hormonal fluctuations significantly impact the skin, especially during life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and the menstrual cycle. Changes in hormone levels can lead to acne, increased oil production, pigmentation, or sensitivity.
For example, rising androgen levels during puberty often cause breakouts, while decreased oestrogen during menopause contributes to dryness and skin laxity or sagging.
Skincare tailored to these changes, like 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.
