Why does the skin of the face change during the pre-menstrual period?
During the ovarian cycle, the hormonal balance varies, which can have direct consequences on the skin of the face. This is logical, given that most often there are fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, hormones that have a direct impact on the quality of the skin.
To better understand :
Week 1
👉 During menstruation, estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest, making the skin more reactive. During this phase, the uterus produces prostaglandins. This induces greater sensitivity to pain, which is why our skin is more sensitive.
Blood circulation is also slowed down, which can affect the appearance of our complexion. Drier and more sensitive, the skin may developimperfections due to inflammation.
Week 2
👉 Estrogen levels increase to peak at ovulation. This is the time when the skin is at its best because these are proteins that boost fibroblasts. They allow the skin to have a good hydration, elasticity and flexibility because they participate in the good production notably of collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Week 3
👉 Les glandes sébacées sont stimulées par l’augmentation du taux de progestérones, rendant la peau grasse. Des imperfections peuvent également apparaître car les pores sont plus dilatés. Le taux d’œstrogènes diminue et la peau perd en hydratation.
Week 4
👉 Progesterone levels drop, as do estrogen levels.
Another hormone, prostaglandin, can also cause increased redness.
In summary:
Pendant la période qui précède nos règles (10 à 15 jours avant), notre peau subit des changements hormonaux entrainant imperfections et sensibilité.

Sea sugars
- They increase the barrier functions of the skin
By allowing a significant increase in proteins linked to the cohesion of the horny layer, they participate in the formation of a barrier of better quality and an activation of the renewal of the skin.
- They improve the appearance of the skin
By boosting cell renewal, they remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, making the skin less rough, softer and smoother.
- They reduce inflammation
Ils renforcent l’immunité de la peau tout en diminuant les réactions en chaine provoquant des inflammations. Ils empêchent visiblement la croissance de bactéries pro-acné et diminue la réactivité de la peau.
- They keep the skin well hydrated
By stimulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and by their positive action on the skin's hydric memory function, they support the skin's ability to rehydrate.
Pre-biotics
- They maintain the good balance of the skin flora
By its microbiological action, they stimulate the saprophyte flora to the detriment of the opportunistic, undesirable or even pathogenic flora.
- They stimulate the skin's natural defenses
Through its biological action, they stimulate the release of antimicrobial peptides, thus boosting the skin's natural defenses, making it healthier.
