A complete guide to skin care during menstrual period when acne breakouts and sensitivity are common

Affected by endocrine, girls' bodies and skin become very sensitive during menstruation. The most common skin problems are acne on the face, poor skin quality, etc. We have invited Ms. Si Qin, a well-known medical beautician from the mainland, to introduce how to maintain facial masks during menstruation and solve the problems that may cause facial confusion during menstruation.

Skin care appetizer:

Cleansing: Many girls will invest a lot of money in replenishing skin care products such as masks or essences, but they are often short-lived, wasting money and failing to truly care for the skin. In fact, cleansing is the cornerstone of skin care. Only by carefully selecting cleansing and makeup removal products suitable for your skin type can you prepare your skin for care.

Cleansing the skin. In the morning, our skin cleansing needs are relatively simple. We only need to use facial cleanser to clean the oil secreted by the skin throughout the night. But at night, no matter how tired you are or how much you hate the trouble, please be sure to perform the cleansing procedure. Whether you are wearing makeup or just applying isolation or sunscreen, removing makeup is equally important. Whether the cleansing cream is foaming or non-foaming, it must be able to clean facial dust and clogged pores. This way, the skin will be clear and comfortable after cleansing, and facial masks or other treatments can be fully absorbed.

Mask meal:

Menstrual period (1 to 5 days) The menstrual period is the period when women’s estrogen secretion is the lowest. The skin at this time is prone to sensitivity and dryness, unbalanced oil secretion, and increased natural keratin. At this time, it is recommended to use more anti-allergic and moisturizing masks.

The first week after the menstrual period is the preovulation period (6-12 days), when the estrogen begins to work hard, and this is the best time for the skin. The amount of moisture and sebum reaches the most ideal state, and the ability to absorb nutrients is also the strongest. This is the golden period for nourishing and whitening. At this time, it is recommended to use a deep repair, whitening and moisturizing mask.

Skin care according to endocrine cycle

The ovulation period (13-15 days) is the transition period between the peak secretion of female hormones and the peak secretion of flavonoids, and the skin condition gradually becomes unstable. At this time, it is recommended to use a deep cleansing, soothing and moisturizing mask.

After ovulation, the hormone level becomes disordered, sebum secretion becomes excessive, and the melanin accumulated in the deep layer of the skin slowly moves to the surface of the skin with metabolism. At this time, it is recommended to use a facial mask that can remove yellowness, brighten the skin, and moisturize and lock in moisture.
