How Hormonal Changes Affect Your Skin
2

• Our skin can be incredibly changeable, and it
  doesnt take much to have a huge impact on the
  way our skin feels and looks.

Even our own bodies can have a huge effect on the
health of our skin, as changes in hormones can
cause a range of skin issues.
So, how do these hormones change the way your
skin looks and feels, and what can you do in
order to improve your symptoms?

• Oestrogen

Oestrogen is a hormone which is largely involved
in sexual and reproductive development.
It is essential to the female body, but a
disruption in levels can have a huge impact on
your skin.
The presence of Oestrogen in the female body is
responsible for decreasing pore size and building
collagen and elastin, so the right levels of the
Oestrogen hormone are great for your skin!
However, as we get older, women produce less and
less Oestrogen, resulting in the skin losing some
of its elasticity, which, in turn, leads to fine
lines and wrinkles.

• We have a range of products that can help to give
  your skin a more youthful look, such as the Obagi
  ELASTIderm Eye Treatment, which doesnt just
  hydrate the top layer of your skin, but treats
  the skin deeply as well, helping to replenish
  collagen and elastin.

• Testosterone

While testosterone may be known as a male
hormone, it is present in both men and women.
This hormone is necessary for the development of
muscle mass and plays an important role in the
female libido.
If the levels of testosterone increase, it can
lead to a range of problems such as an irregular
or absent menstrual cycle, an increase in body
hair and even infertility. As well as these
issues, testosterone can also be a cause of acne.
There are things that you can do to address the
skin problems associated with elevated
testosterone levels.

• We stock a number of products that can be used to
  target acne, from ranges that include Obagi.

Hormonal changes can have a huge impact on the
way our skin looks and feels, and these changes
can happen at various times throughout your life.
It is important to have a good skincare routine
in order to keep your skin healthy regardless of
the changes that are happening in your body.

• It is also important to continually reassess your
  routine to find the perfect products for you and
  your skin.
