Hormonal changes and their effect on the skin

Adolescence, pregnancy, climacteric, menopause are periods of life that cause an imbalance of hormones - Estrogen, Progesterone, Cortisol, Testosterone, which affect not only our mood, weight, but also our skin.

Estrogen is a basic female hormone, its balance controls the rhythm of changes in the female body. If the level is low, it causes us unpleasant heat waves and excessive sweating, the skin gets worse, it is dry and problematic, inflammations and acne form.
Progesterone is a pregnancy and relaxation hormone, if we are under the pressure of chronic stress, it starts to be lacking and turns into cortisol.
Cortisol is essential for our body in certain amounts because it allows communication between our feelings, emotions and cells in the body. It is known as a stress hormone and is secreted into the blood and glands, thus affecting the function of the immune system, the defenses of the body and the skin. With an imbalance of cortisol, we feel tired and it causes – eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, pigmentation, subtle darkening of the skin, keloid scars, warts, the skin is thinner and more prone to reactivity.
Testosterone is a male hormone, but it is also found in small amounts in women, if the level is high it causes acne and hirsutism (excessive hair on the face, décollet, back). Too low a level causes premature menopause, the skin experiences a decrease in collagen, loses elasticity and flexibility, becomes thinner and more prone to irritation.
If we want to have healthy, beautiful skin, it is important to maintain hormones at the right level, the basis is to undergo preventive examinations, which can catch any problem earlier and thereby affect unpleasant negative changes in our body and skin. Another important factor is the correct choice of cosmetics, because even the wrong cosmetics can increase the reactivity of the skin and increase imperfections.

Correct skin care with imperfections that are manifested in hormonal problems are, for example - the formation of redness, cracked veins, pigmentation, inflammation and acne in adulthood, extremely dry skin, excessive sweating - poor regulation of sebum, even a problem with eczema. With properly treatment, all these problems can be managed.
