Mild to moderate peri- & menopausal acne + signs of aging

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal fluctuations often lead to skin disorders, such as acne. This condition usually manifests as red pimples, sometimes with pus, located mainly around the chin and mouth. Acne during this period is mainly due to a drop in estrogen, disrupting hormonal balance and the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Cleaning is a step essential skin care. If you wear oil-based makeup or SPF during the day, use a gentle oil-based makeup remover, and then follow with a cleanser. A gentle cleanser is half the battle for healthy skin, so choose your cleanser wisely.

NUTRITION AND ITS ROLE IN ACNE MANAGEMENT

With advances in nutritional science, it is now proven that diet has a direct impact on our gut microbiome, and therefore our skin. A balanced gut microbiome is essential for maintaining healthy skin, especially during times of hormonal fluctuations. Additionally, certain foods can help regulate hormones and improve the appearance of skin.

  • Examples of foods that help feed our microbiome :
    - Fruits and vegetables rich in fiber such as oats, broccoli, bananas, apples, cabbage, etc.
    - A variety of plant-based foods - aim for a minimum of 30 to 35 different foods per week (including herbs, spices, seeds, fruits and vegetables) to improve gut microbiome diversity.

  • Examples of foods that help restore hormonal balance :
    - Healthy fats like olive oil, flax seeds, crushed hemp seeds, avocado, nuts.
    - Omega 3 (fish oil or omega 3 supplements).

  • Increase phytoestrogen intake :
    - Soy products such as edamame, tofu, miso.
    - Crushed flax seeds, garlic, sesame seeds, and others.

  • Reduce sugar :
    - Sugars (including simple carbohydrates) produce more insulin. An increase in insulin leads to an increase in androgens. An increase in androgens leads to an increase in sebum and potentially acne or pimples.
    - In the case of aging skin, sugar causes premature aging through a process called glycation. Glycation irreversibly damages collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles.

On the other hand, it is advisable to avoid foods that can aggravate acne such as cow's milk, processed or fried foods, sugar and chocolate.

LIFESTYLE AND STRESS MANAGEMENT

  • Physical exercise stimulates blood circulation, allowing for better oxygenation of cells, including those in the skin. Physical movement is also essential for balancing hormones. Any form of exercise is effective, from brisk walking to strength training. Choose activities you enjoy to make them a permanent part of your routine.

  • Stress management is another key component of health and healthy skin. Incorporate breathing exercises into your life, even if it's just for a few minutes a day. Yoga is a great way to combine physical and breathing exercises. During prolonged periods of stress, our Skin & Stress supplement , rich in antioxidants and magnesium, is a valuable support.
  • Improve your sleep and take time to relax. Stress is an aggravating factor for acne, and many people suffer from stress without recognizing the symptoms.
