A woman's <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/simplifying-life-through-harmony-with-your-natural-cycle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">menstrual cycle</a> is divided into four phases: the menstrual period, the follicular phase, the ovulation period, and the luteal phase. The changes in hormone and estrogen levels during each of these phases directly affect the condition of the skin, requiring special care to stay healthy and beautiful. The following article will share with you how to apply a menstrual cycle <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/age-reversing-skincare-routine-what-is-the-best-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skin care</a> method to prevent acne, maintain stable and radiant skin every day!

What is the skin care method during menstruation?

If you didn’t know, the hashtag “#MenstrualPeriodSkincareMethod” has reached 459 million views and counting. This new skin care method helps you adjust your skin care regimen to suit each stage of your menstrual cycle, thereby addressing skin problems more effectively and deeply.

How does the menstrual cycle work?

Many women have a habit of recording their menstrual cycles, but perhaps do not have a deep understanding of each phase of this cycle. An endocrinologist shared: “A woman’s menstrual cycle is actually divided into four phases. First is the menstrual period, or the menstrual period; next is the follicular phase, when the follicles in the ovaries begin to develop and hormone levels gradually increase. Then comes the ovulation phase, when estrogen peaks and the egg is released into the uterus, and finally the luteal phase, when the endometrium thickens to prepare for sperm implantation.

Although this is a cycle that every girl goes through, the duration of each phase can vary, depending on each person&#39;s physical condition and lifestyle. Due to hormonal fluctuations in the body, our skin also changes accordingly.

The key to clear skin: estrogen

During ovulation, when estrogen peaks, skin is often radiant and glowing, lasting about five days. However, as estrogen begins to decline and progesterone increases, skin can become more oily or sensitive, making it more prone to irritation and requiring extra care.

Ovulation: Focus on stabilizing skin condition

During ovulation, to keep your skin stable, doctors recommend choosing products containing niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. These two ingredients not only fade acne scars but also help the skin absorb moisture better, strengthening the skin barrier. In addition, a light moisturizer is also the perfect choice to lock in moisture and maintain hydrated skin. When choosing the right care products according to your cycle, you will notice a clear improvement in your skin.

Luteal phase: Hormonal fluctuations, preventing acne from spreading

Many girls suffer from the dread of “menstrual acne” before or at the beginning of their period. The reason is that in the late luteal phase, progesterone and natural oil levels increase, combined with stress that increases cortisol, making the skin prone to acne. Now that you understand the effects of hormones, you can take more proactive measures to control acne.

What are anti-acne skin care ingredients?

To prevent acne during the dreaded luteal phase, dermatologists recommend skin care products containing salicylic acid, azelaic acid, and retinol – ingredients known for their ability to prevent acne and maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Set up your own skincare routine according to your menstrual cycle

Menstrual skin care helps us understand which phase is the “danger zone” of the skin, thereby accurately meeting the skin’s needs at each time. Thanks to that, you will no longer worry about missing the opportunity to prevent acne, but will know how to use the right active ingredients before the luteal phase to proactively respond. For sensitive and easily irritated skin, this method has been shown to be more effective than using just one product for the entire month. Sometimes, applying too many serums that your skin doesn’t really need is not only a waste of time and money, but also counterproductive. While everyone’s body is different, this experiment will help you learn to listen to the signals your hormones send through your skin. Photos: Allure, Getty Images, sarangkim.love, kimtaeri_official
