Understanding your menstrual cycle to better adapt your beauty routine
The menstrual cycle evolves continuously during 4 weeks , with an average duration of 28 days. Each period changes the appearance of the skin depending on the hormonal balance and its fluctuations. Two hormones vary depending on 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. Each week, your concerns And beauty goals !
Start of menstrual cycle: week 1
To understand : The menstrual cycle begins on the first day of menstruation. 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 slowdown in blood circulation.
Take action: For soothed skin, you must use gentle care and avoid any skin aggression with overly abrasive scrubs. Pamper your skin with ultra-soothing moisturizing masks like our sublimated complexion moisturizing mask . The same week, we also apply our exfoliating mask , which will detoxify the skin and cleanse it deeply. Our mask purifies oily skin with or without imperfections. In the case of a dull complexion, the duo of moisturizing and exfoliating masks boost radiance.
Week 2: Pre-ovulatory week
To understand : There is an increase in estrogen production until its peak during ovulation, around the 14th day of the cycle. Thanks to this high level of estrogen in the blood, the skin is then naturally hydrated. Blood circulation is boosted, the skin is better irrigated, promoting a brighter complexion. Estrogens play a major role in young, hydrated and plump skin. Indeed, they boost the fibroblasts at the origin of the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin by the body. Collagen allows the skin to remain supple and elastic, while hyaluronic acid allows for optimal natural hydration of the skin.
Take action: Nutrition and gentle exfoliation are the key words for 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 sublimated complexion moisturizing mask. When you wake up, your skin is smoothed, plumped and your complexion is luminous!
Week 3: Post-ovulatory week
To understand : Estrogen levels decrease to make way for a spike in progesterone. This hormone stimulates sebum production and can make skin oily, with a tendency to shine.
Act: It is then necessary to regulate the production of sebum thanks to a mattifying, sebum-regulating cream. Hydration is particularly important at this stage of the cycle. This avoids the overproduction of sebum and the obstruction of pores, which cause imperfections. In addition, we opt for our exfoliating mask. Its exfoliating action removes imperfections and gently refines the skin texture .
Week 4: Pre-menstrual period
To understand : The week before your period, there is a drop in progesterone. The skin is more prone to blemishes.
Take action: It is still important to continue to mattify the skin. You can use the same anti-blemish products as in week 3. During this premenstrual period, you also exfoliate to refine the skin texture. A zinc supplement present in Day+ and in Inher is particularly interesting because zinc purifies the skin and regulates sebum production. In addition, zinc fights bacteria that cause skin blemishes and hormonal acne. The Day+ drinking stick contains 15mg of zinc to reduce inflammation and effectively reduce blemishes.
