Our skin changes as we age. Hormonal fluctuations play a crucial role in women’s skin health, influencing hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance. Hormonal changes and skin health in women Puberty (teenage years): An increase in hormones, especially androgens, leads to acne, oily skin, excessive sweating, and hyperpigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones.
T ips: Use a gentle cleanser, oil-free moisturiser, and acne treatments. Chemical peels, microneedling, and subcision can help with acne scars for faster results. Pregnancy (adult years): Fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone can cause melasma (pregnancy mask), acne, stretch marks (on the abdomen, thighs, and breasts), varicose and spider veins, and itchy skin conditions such as pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP).
Tips: Use pregnancy-safe skincare products, vitamin C serum for melasma, and daily sun protection. Menopause (midlife and beyond): A decline in hormone levels accelerates aging effects, including dryness, thinning skin, loss of collagen (wrinkles, sagging), increased sensitivity, dark spots, and delayed wound healing. Tips: Use hydrating creams, sun protection, and retinol to boost collagen.
