How hormones affect the skin

Hormones are biochemical messengers that govern so much more than you realize, from your metabolism and memory to sleep and aging.

When your hormones are balanced, everything works in sync, and you’ll enjoy healthy skin, loads of energy, you’ll sleep well at night and you’ll just feel good overall.

When even just one of your hormones is off balance, you’ll start experiencing negative effects, taking a real toll on your skin. A hormonal imbalance manifests itself as anything including pigment (melasma), dryness, acne, rosacea, fine lines and wrinkles.

Your hormones are going to go up and down throughout your life, this is completely normal. Your menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause are all examples of natural hormonal changes that occur in a woman’s life and during these times you may notice changes in your skin. Sometimes that big pimple on the chin is a good indicator that your period is near. Melasma is also one of the most common skin conditions due to hormonal imbalances which causes dark spots and patches along the forehead, nose, upper lip and cheeks.

Often these skin issues may simply clear up once your hormones have naturally balanced themselves, but the real frustration starts to arise when hormonal imbalances affect your everyday life.

What other factors can cause a hormonal imbalance

Apart from the obvious indicators like that time of the month, there are other factors that can contribute to hormonal disruptions, here’s just a few:

• Stress
• Poor sleep
• Smoking
• Unhealthy diet
• Lack of exercise
• Endocrine dysfunction

How your diet can help

Your diet plays one of the biggest roles in keeping your hormones happy and balanced.

Eating anti-inflammatory foods that will help to reduce inflammation is very important, as well as including foods that will help to aid in liver detoxification.

The liver helps to break down hormones, which in turn helps to maintain stable hormone levels, so eating foods to boost the liver is really important.

Liver supporting foods include cruciferous veggies, like cabbage and broccoli, as well as onions, garlic, dark leafy greens, dark berries like blackberries and dandelion root tea.

Of course, a healthy skin care routine, alongside a healthy diet is imperative for healthy, balanced hormones, since everything you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body, so be sure you’re making the right choices!
