Skincare for women: What is important through the cycle
Women in particular should consider a few important aspects in order to optimally Moisturize their skin at all times.
The following points should be included in the Skincare for women should definitely be considered:
- Determine skin type
- Adaptation to the cycle
- cleanser
- moisturizer
- sun screen
- peeling
- Serums and oils
- Nutrition and hydration
- Regularity
- Relaxation and stress management
During your period, your metabolism generally slows down, which also affects your skin. During this time, the skin tends to be duller, drier and also more sensitive than normal.
During the cycle phase, the skin regenerates better and faster as the metabolism is also boosted. During this phase, you can optimally support your skin with gentle peelings, for example.
During the ovulation phase, oestrogen levels reach their peak: the skin generally appears more radiant, well moisturized and has fewer blemishes to contend with. In this phase, skincare products with antioxidants are perfect for preparing the skin for the next phase of the cycle.
This is because testosterone levels rise in the 4th phase of the cycle (luteal phase), which also stimulates sebum production and therefore increases the risk of skin blemishes.
If you take the special needs of female facial skin into account, you can develop an effective Skincare.
