Face Routine for Hormonal Skin

If you are noticing that you skin changes or has changed due to your hormones, then you will no doubt be looking for a good routine to help to improve your complexion. We hope that using Nakin’s products can help with your hormonal skin, as we have high quality cleansers, treatments and moisturisers that are filled with as many skin improving natural ingredients as possible, to help to calm and encourage skin to heal and thrive.

Our hormones can play a crucial role in skin health and appearance. From oil production and moisture retention to stress response and immune system regulation, our hormones have a significant impact on our skin's overall condition, most commonly seen by our skin becoming either oily or dry. By understanding this relationship and addressing any imbalances, we can achieve healthier, glowing skin that reflects our internal vitality. With proper care and management, we can help to have calm and radiant skin.

Face Routine for Hormonal Skin

While we are not sure of the exact concerns that your skin has, we will provide a couple of options for simple skin routines and everything can be found here. If you are finding that your skin is breaking out and it is more on the oily side then we would suggest our Rejuvenating Face Wash, Purifying Face Toner, Eye Cream Complex and Matt Formula Face Cream. If however, your skin has become dry and even sensitive then we would suggest the Advanced Cleansing Milk, Purifying Face Toner, Eye Cream Complex, plus either our Revitalising Face Oil or Performance Face Serum, followed by the Active Dew Face Cream. These combinations will work to keep your skin clear, fresh and hydrated.

Hormones & Skin Health

Hormones play a crucial role in influencing the condition and appearance of our skin. They regulate various bodily functions, including the production of oil, which can significantly impact skin health. During puberty, increased levels of androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands, leading to excess oil production and potentially causing acne. Similarly, hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause can result in changes such as dry skin, or blemishes and breakouts. Hormones can also affect the skin's elasticity and thickness, with a decline in oestrogen levels often associated with thinner and less supple skin as we age. Using a good skincare routine such as ours is beneficial for promoting healthy skin, highlighting the intricate connection between endocrine health and dermatology.

In addition to influencing oil production and skin texture, hormones can also impact the skin's ability to retain moisture. Oestrogen, in particular, plays a significant role in maintaining hydration levels in the skin. As Oestrogen levels decline during menopause or with age, the skin may become drier and more prone to wrinkles and fine lines. Similarly, thyroid hormone imbalances can lead to dry, itchy skin.

Aside from their role in physical appearance, hormones also play a crucial role in regulating our body's response to stress. When we experience stress, our bodies release cortisol, a hormone that can have adverse effects on the skin when produced in excess. High levels of cortisol can lead to inflammation, which can result in various skin conditions such as dry patches or breakouts. Additionally, stress hormones can impact the skin's ability to repair itself and maintain a healthy immune system.

It is essential to note that while hormonal imbalances can contribute to skin concerns, they are not always the sole cause. Genetics, diet, lifestyle factors, and skincare routines also play a significant role in promoting or hindering healthy skin. However, understanding the relationship between hormones and dermatology is good for effectively treating and managing skin issues. By addressing hormonal imbalances through proper hormone therapy or lifestyle adjustments, we can improve our overall well-being and promote healthier skin from within.

Face Products for Calm Healthy Glowing Skin

At Nakin we have a small collection of products that help with so many skin concerns, as well as excellent cleansing, conditioning, and moisturising. Here is more about the products in our range and everything can be found here.

• Begin your routine with our Advanced Cleansing Milk or Rejuvenating Face Wash. The milk is an oil-based cleanser that cleanses the face while hydrating and comforting at the same time with the hyaluronic acid and the plant cleansing and conditioning extracts. The wash gives more of a thorough cleanse if you prefer to use a foaming cleanser.
• You could then follow with our Purifying Face Toner if desired as a double cleanse and toning treatment, or if you do not use a toner then ensure the milk is thoroughly removed with damp cotton wool, a cloth, or when in the shower.
• For your evening routine, or as required, use our Exfoliating Radiance Tonic which is a powerful renewal treatment with fruit AHAs. It is great for an uneven skin tone, plus lines and wrinkles.
• Use our Eye Cream Complex for the eye area which is hydrating, line smoothing and energising from its plant peptide, hyaluronic acid and stimulating plant and marine extracts.
• Then for a treatment you could use either the Performance Face Serum or Revitalising Face Oil for your face and neck. Our face serum and face oil are both treatment products, and you can use them together, or just one of them. They have different benefits, but do share some properties, as they are both anti-ageing and reviving for the face. The serum has powerful actives for skin rejuvenation hydrating deeply with hyaluronic acid and easing lines with the plant peptide, hyaluronic acid, seaweed, and green tea. The oil would be used after the serum if using both together and is rich and nutritious without being greasy. It helps to heal the skin barrier and immediately calms skin and leaves a lovely glow, plus is great at helping with stressed skin issues like dryness or sensitivity.
• Seal all the goodness in with our Active Dew Face Cream which hydrates, nourishes and protects the skin with hyaluronic acid, cassia, pomegranate and plant oils. This is for day and night use and is for normal, combination and dry skin. We have our Matt Formula Face Cream for normal skin but that that is more for normal skin on the oily side, or if you prefer a matt finish.
• If you like to use a lip product then you could finish with our Lip Treatment Balm which is filled with hydrating and nourishing plant oils, butters and waxes.
