6 skincare tips when menstruation sabotages your skin

by

Pimples can have many causes, but one of the most common is hormonal changes and menstruation.

Although this happens almost every month, we are constantly looking to find the magic recipe that will eliminate these unwanted messengers as quickly as possible.

That’s why we have gathered and presented the six best tips to keep your skin clean, all month long.

Try slugging

You can recognize the term, as it is the latest skikare trend of TikTok. Originally from South Korea, “slugging” is simple. In particular, it describes the application of a thick layer of moisturizer to the skin before bedtime. You can choose any rich moisturizer you want. Do not forget to wash your face the next morning.

Apart from deep hydration, the result is more radiant and smooth skin from the very next day. Thus, it is especially useful during the period when our skin needs a little more hydration.

Take a nice shower or bath

The daily shower becomes even more important during the period. Not only will it relax you and lift your spirits but it can also help with the symptoms of menstruation. In addition, the steam helps to open and close the pores, contributing to cleaner skin.

Prefer a quick shower on days with a heavier flow but choose an enjoyable bath before and at the end of your period. Of course, make sure you moisturize your skin to compensate for the dryness caused by hot water.

Reduce your makeup as much as possible

For many of us, makeup is an integral part of our daily routine. It sets our mood and prepares us for the day that begins. But it is a fact that it can adversely affect our skin. Especially during the period, the skin is quite changeable. So try to avoid products with heavy coverage as much as you can.

Prefer, light, thin products that will not clog the pores and will highlight your natural glow. At the same time, focus on your care routine and good nutrition for beautiful skin from the inside out.

Ensure the hydration of your skin

Proper hydration and retention of skin moisture is crucial during the period. Especially if some pimples have also appeared. So add moisture to your skin in layers. Specifically, after cleansing, use a moisturizing toner. Followed with a hyaluronic acid serum, eye cream and a viscous moisturizer. Then top with Vaseline or a face oil.

If you have a little more time, apply your favorite moisturizing mask before the care products, for an extra layer of hydration.

Massage your face

Facial massage is a favorite step in your daily routine. During the season, however, it is especially beloved. We often notice that the skin swells during the period, which may be related to the increase in salt and sugar intake. But instead of being deprived of my favorite foods, massage your face.

The daily morning massage will help to decongest and activate the skin when you wake up. You can do it with your fingers, with a gua sha or with an ice roller. In addition to reducing swelling, it also helps to sculpt the face. This will make your skin look smoother and firmer.

Avoid excessive peeling

Exfoliation is a very important step in any skin care routine. But we can very easily overdo it without realizing it. This is especially important when trying to treat pimples that appear due to menstruation. But instead of extra exfoliation, choose a product against pimples that you apply topically.
