The beauty of the skin varies according to the female cycles. Sometimes more sensitive, sometimes drier or oily, with imperfections... The skin witnesses constant changes for which it is necessary to adapt its beauty routine. Discover our advice for sublimating your skin according to your needs at each period of your menstrual cycle!
Understanding your menstrual cycle to better adapt your beauty routine
The menstrual cycle evolves continuously for 4 weeks, with an average duration of 28 days. Each period changes the appearance of the skin according to the hormonal balance and its fluctuations. Two hormones vary according to the period of the cycle: estrogen and progesterone. They have a direct impact on the quality of the skin. For a perfect complexion throughout your cycle, you must therefore know your cycle by adapting your skin care to it. Each week has its own concerns and beauty objectives !
Start of menstrual cycle: week 1
Understanding: The menstrual cycle begins on the first day of Period. At the beginning of the cycle, the levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone are low. The skin is then more sensitive and reactive. The complexion is sometimes dull due to a slowing down of the blood circulation.
Action: For a soothed skin, it is necessary to use soft care and to avoid any cutaneous aggression with too abrasive scrubs. Pamper your skin with ultra-soothing moisturizing masks like our sublimated complexion moisturizing makeup. The same week, we also apply our exfoliating mask, which will detoxify the skin and cleanse it in depth. Our mask purifies oily skin with or without imperfections. In the event of dull complexion, the duo of the hydrating and exfoliating mask reboosts the brightness.
Week 2: Pre-ovulatory week
Understand: There is an increase in the production of estrogen until it peaks during ovulation, around the 14th day of the cycle. Thanks to this high level of estrogen in the blood, the skin is naturally hydrated. Blood circulation is boosted, the skin is better irrigated, promoting a more radiant complexion. Estrogens play a major role in keeping skin young, hydrated and plump. In fact, they boost fibroblasts, which are responsible for the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin by the body. Collagen allows for the suppleness and elasticity of the skin, while hyaluronic acid allows for optimal natural hydration of the skin.
Action: Nutrition and gentle exfoliation are the key words to have a beautiful skin during this phase of the menstrual cycle. We continue the cocooning beauty ritual by exfoliating our skin with our 99.4% natural exfoliating mask with white clay, cranberries and grape seed oil. After exfoliation, we apply our hydrating mask for a sublimated complexion. In the morning, the skin is smoothed, plumped and the complexion is luminous!
Week 3: Post-ovulatory week
Understand: Estrogen levels decrease to make way for a peak in progesterone. This hormone stimulates the production of sebum and can make the skin oily, with a tendency to shine.
Action: It is then necessary to regulate the production of sebum thanks to a matifying, sebo-regulating cream. Hydration is particularly important at this stage of the cycle. It avoids the overproduction of sebum and the obstruction of the pores, at the origin of the imperfections. As a complement, we opt for our exfoliating mask. Its exfoliating action removes imperfections and gently refines the skin texture.
Week 4: Pre-menstrual period
Understand: The week before Period, there is a drop in progesterone. The skin is more prone to imperfections.
Act: It is still important to continue mattifying the skin. You can use the same anti-imperfections products as in week 3. During this premenstrual period, a scrub should also be used to refine the skin texture. Zinc supplementation, present in Day+ and in Inher is particularly interesting because zinc purifies the skin and regulates sebum production. In addition, zinc fights against the bacteria that cause skin blemishes and hormonal acne. Day+ Drink Stick includes 15mg of zinc to reduce inflammation and effectively reduce blemishes.
