A few days before menstruation and the beginning of a new cycle, it is not uncommon to have pimples due to hyperseborrhea, especially in combination or oily skin. Women who have severe skin rashes during this time can even be said to have hormonal acne. This is due to increased sebum production, which creates a favorable environment for the development of skin blemishes, characterized by a sharp increase in progesterone and testosterone levels and a decrease in estrogen levels.
What routine should you follow during this phase?
Prefer a double cleansing routine every evening to thoroughly nourish the skin. This is especially true if your skin is prone to blemishes. For example, you can start with the minimalist cleansing oil with only 7 ingredients, especially if you wear makeup or sunscreen every day. After that, you can use the cleansing gel with zinc and bamboo extract (INCI name: Phyllostachys Bambusoides Extract), which is balancing, clarifying, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial.
Add gentle chemical exfoliation to your evening ritual once or twice a week to cleanse pores and prevent the accumulation of excess sebum and dead skin cells. Our gel-textured exfoliating mask combines the exfoliating action of four AHAs (glycolic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid and mandelic acid) and one PHA (gluconolactone) to work at different levels of the epidermis.
Intensify your routine with Serum 4 from the Woman line, which contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and mattifying active ingredients with zinc and seaweed extract. Thanks to its special composition of sugars with hydrophobic amino acids (INCI name: Saccharide Isomerate), it offers a complete effect. If impurities have appeared, the targeted care for impurities with Bakuchiol, tea tree oil (INCI name: Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil), zinc oxide (INCI name: Zinc Oxide) and green clay (INCI name: Illite, Montmorillonite) can be used as a supplement to dry out the impurities thanks to the cataplasma texture.
