We all know too well that our hormone levels fluctuate during your menstrual cycle. But did you know this can have an impact on your skin as well? Here are Deborah’s ProTips on taking care of your skin during your period.

Cleansing: Keeping your skin clean and fresh during your period is vital, because sweat and bacteria can accumulate easily. Try my gentle Hydro Cleansing Milk to remove dirt and impurities from your skin.

Boost Hydration: Your may find your skin becomes more dehydrated during your menstrual cycle due to changes in your hormone levels. Use a vitamin C packed moisturiser – like my Divine Cream – to boost hydration and prevent dryness.

Exfoliating: Hormonal changes can lead to an increase in sebum production, which can clog pores and cause breakouts. My Bee Polish is gentle enough to protect skin while removing dead cells and unclogging pores.

Tackling Breakouts: If you suffer from spots during your period, look for products that contain salicylic acid. This clever beta hydroxy acid has amazing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. You’ll find it in my WillowBee Mask & Cleanse. You can also shop my acne products here.

Watch What You Eat: Make sure you’re eating a diet rich in skin-health nutrients. Focus on foods that are high in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and omega-3 fatty acids.

Keep Cool: Some women may feel hotter when they’re on your period or in the days leading up to it. This is due to a fluctuation of your hormones. Spritz with my Collagen Body & Face Mist to cool skin and boost energy levels.

Diet plays a vital part when it comes to boosting skin. You can read more about my favourite skin-boosting foods in my blog post here.
