Glowy Skin Through the Cycle: Tips for Menstrual Skin Concerns
Your Skin's Journey Through the Menstrual Cycle
Before diving into tips, it's crucial to understand why these skin concerns arise. Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can lead to increased sebum production, clogged pores, and inflammation, resulting in breakouts, oiliness, or dry patches.
Menstrual Phase (Days 1 to 6)
Referred to as the period phase, this period witnesses the lowest levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones. Consequently, the skin may feel dry and sensitive, accentuating the visibility of lines and wrinkles.
Follicular Phase (Days 7 to 11)
Initiating with menstruation and concluding at ovulation, the follicular phase sees a rise in estrogen levels. This surge aids in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, fostering the growth of elastic skin cells. This stimulation enhances cell turnover, bestowing a plumper, fresher, and more youthful complexion.
Ovulation Phase (Days 12 to 16)
Before ovulation, estrogen levels peak, leading to a radiant and glowing complexion.
Luteal Phase (Days 17 to 28)
In this stage, progesterone levels escalate, prompting sebum glands to produce excess oil. This can result in acne flares preceding the onset of menstruation.
Glowy Skin: 5 Essential Tips for Menstrual Skin Care
Tip 1: Maintain Consistent Skincare
Consistency is key when it comes to managing menstrual skin concerns. Stick to a gentle yet effective skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, and moisturizing.

Tip 4: Use Soothing Masks to Calm Inflammation
During this time, pamper your skin with soothing face masks. Ingredients like dilo oil, passionflower extract, or sikeci oil can help calm inflammation and reduce redness. Incorporate a mask into your routine once or twice a week to give your skin that extra boost of nourishment and relaxation.
Tip 5: Mind Your Diet and Lifestyle
Ensuring healthy skin during your menstrual cycle involves more than just skincare. Your lifestyle plays a significant role in skin health. Pay attention to your diet by reducing intake of high-sugar, high-fat, and simple carbohydrate foods. Additionally, if dairy exacerbates acne, consider eliminating it from your diet for better skin results.
