7 beauty tips to support your skin during menstruation

Drier skin, duller complexion and pimples... At a certain time of the month, these are the kind of beauty concerns we're all too familiar with. Because as our menstrual cycle progresses, our hormone levels fluctuate, impacting our bodies, our moods and, without a doubt, our skin. So, to accompany your skin during your period, we reveal the right gestures to adopt.

#seo : skin during menstruation

Before your period, the essentials for purifying and mattifying

It's during the luteal phase (the period after ovulation and before menstruation) that the first symptoms of premenstrual syndrome appear. During this phase, progesterone is the dominant hormone, prompting the body to slow down: transit is slower, bloating is more frequent, skin is oilier and imperfections and sensitivities have free rein. Purifying skin care products help to unclog clogged pores and deep-cleanse the skin without drying it out. 

Gentle cleansing gel

To gently cleanse your skin, swap your usual cleanser for the Phaze Purifying Cleansing Gel Pai Skincare. Formulated with PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acid), this ultra-gentle cleanser eliminates dead cells and stimulates cell renewal to leave the complexion luminous and even, and the skin smooth and soft. 

#seo: oh my cream cleansing mask

Cleansing mask

Once or twice a week, opt for a deeper cleansing with the Cleansing Mask Oh My Cream Skincare Cleansing Mask. This creamy-textured cleansing mask absorbs excess sebum, impurities and pollution without drying out the skin. What's more, formulated with niacinamideit soothes and moisturizes the skin for a visibly clearer complexion. 

SOS serum

Like a veritable first-aid kit for the skin, the Blemish Rescue Violette_FR serum works within 48 hours to treat inflammation caused by hormones or stress, and soothe irritation or redness. A real ally in regulating sebum production and helping skin to breathe.

#seo : complement miyé

The cure that saves before your period

Ideally taken 2 weeks before the onset of menstruation, the dietary supplement Female Balance MiYé has been formulated to better regulate the physical and psychological imbalances associated with premenstrual syndrome (or pre- or peri-menopause). Its complete formula, adapted to the female metabolism, helps reduce the effects of stress, improve sleep and promote hormonal balance

#seo: routine rules

A cocooning routine during menstruation

While after ovulation, skin tends to be oilier, during menstruation, hormone levels are at their lowest and skin is particularly sensitive or fragile, drier and sometimes dehydrated. We therefore opt for cocooning and nourishing rituals to take care of ourselves and our skin during our cycle, and put aside exfoliations that are a little too powerful, peels and retinol.

The cult nourishing mask

Cultissime Aura Manuka Honey Purifying Mask Antipodes is a cocooning treatment with manuka honey that gently cleanses and purifies. The ideal ally for intensely moisturizing the skin and combating imperfections and a blotchy complexion.

#seo: miyé body serum

Soothing body serum

Our bodies also need attention during this sometimes complicated period. So we opt for Happy Cycles Body Serum MiYé, a light, milky serum that soothes feelings of discomfort during menstruation (or menopause). Tight tummies, swollen breasts or heavy legs... It reactivates microcirculation and instantly decongests to restore lasting comfort. 

And because warmth soothes tummy aches, let yourself be pampered in a bath with theOil Bath for the Senses Huile de Bain Sensorielle Susanne Kaufmann. This ultra-relaxing bath oil pampers the body and senses, leaving skin soft and moisturized after the bath. 

Regenerating oil

To correct complexion irregularities and reduce the marks left by imperfections, we useBioRegenerate Wild Rose Oil Pai Skincare. With its highly regenerating properties, it reduces all types of skin damage, from scars and blemishes to inflammation and pigmentation disorders. A real ally in restoring softness, suppleness, radiance and elasticity. 

Skin in crisis? It's far from easy to manage skin that displays imperfections and redness at the same time... In that case, don't hesitate to read our short post on the subject! And if you still have a question about the right routine to adopt, don't hesitate to write to us at consultation@ohmycream.com. Our experts will be delighted to help you.
