Skincare During the Menstrual Cycle: During menstruation, a woman's estrogen levels decrease while androgen levels relatively increase. The resulting mood changes also affect skin condition.
Smart Skincare Based on the Menstrual Cycle: A woman's menstrual cycle is 28 days, which can be subdivided into 7-day cycles. Therefore, there are 4 smaller cycles each month. Targeted skincare during these cycles can yield unexpectedly good results.
Before Menstruation: Dull complexion, bumpy skin, and prone to allergies. Before menstruation, hormonal changes are reflected on the skin. It is recommended to perform a second cleansing step after your usual cleansing routine to control oil secretion, ensure clear pores, allow the skin to breathe freely, and prevent acne.
During Menstruation: The stratum corneum thickens, making it prone to acne, eczema, etc. The skin becomes sensitive, and some people may experience facial redness. During this period, using an exfoliating cleanser can be effective. Skin is fragile during menstruation and easily damaged, so pay attention to sun protection to prevent the formation of dark spots. Vegetables and fruits are natural beauty products, so eat more of them. Control your water intake appropriately, as some people experience water retention during their menstrual period.
