How to treat your skin during your period?

The menstrual cycle has an effect on our skin. When menstruation arrives, two things happen. Estrogen and progesterone levels decrease, which results in a lack of moisture for the skin and increased sensitivity.

Small reminder:

Just before menstruation, the skin produces more sebum due to the drop in estrogen levels. Pores are more clogged and blackheads or pimples may appear.

We therefore recommend a good cleansing with a gentle scrub such as Mixed feelings to be applied once a week, to unclog pores and regulate sebum, and a targeted care product perfectly adapted to this period of the cycle, Oh my periods, co-created to bring comfort and limit inflammation.

During menstruation, estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest, making the skin more reactive. During this phase, the uterus produces prostaglandins. This induces a greater sensitivity to pain. This 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 develop imperfections due to inflammation.

Indeed, during menstruation, pimples can appear very quickly, taking advantage of the sensitivity of the skin and its lack of hydration to settle.

It is therefore important to adapt one's routine by cleansing the face daily but gently so as not to accentuate the skin's sensitivity.

We can opt for Clean That Face, our gentle cleanser that will limit the appearance of imperfections, without aggressing and allowing a good cellular renewal.

We combine it with Dot is not an option (once a week maximum), the soft paste mask with a fruit enzyme base to detoxify the pores and give our skin a real reset.

As mentioned above, the skin is also dehydrated and dry during this period. So we keep our water bottle at hand and we don't forget to moisturize our skin with an adapted care, twice a day.

For this we recommend All I Need. Our essential cream to fight against the effects of pollution and keep your skin detoxified, rebalanced and protected from external aggressions. Its star ingredient: Saffron. Picked from the rooftops of Paris, it contains powerful antioxidants that act as a shield against the harmful effects of pollution, the sun and cigarettes. It is associated here with Indian ginseng to fight against the blue light and with the ultra versatile niacinamide, which allows in particular to rebalance and reinforce the skin.
