Hormones and Skin: How Hormonal Changes Affect Your Complexion

At Face Lounge Aesthetics, we believe glowing, youthful skin starts from within. While high-quality skincare and advanced treatments make a huge difference, your hormones play a powerful role in skin health. From acne to menopause-related dryness, your complexion is often a reflection of what’s happening hormonally inside your body.

In this article, we’ll break down how hormones affect your skin, common signs of hormonal imbalance, and how our treatments can help restore balance and radiance.

The Link Between Hormones and Skin

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate vital body functions, including your metabolism, stress response, and reproductive health. When hormone levels fluctuate, your skin may experience breakouts, sensitivity, or premature aging.

Here’s how some of the most important hormones impact your complexion:

• Estrogen and Skin Health

Estrogen is essential for collagen production, hydration, and elasticity. High estrogen levels can give skin a healthy glow, while lower levels (such as during perimenopause and menopause) can lead to dryness, sagging, and fine lines.

• Progesterone and Breakouts

Progesterone can increase oil production, sometimes triggering hormonal acne flare-ups. Many women notice breakouts around their cycle when progesterone spikes.

• Testosterone and Oily Skin

Even small increases in testosterone can overstimulate the sebaceous glands, causing clogged pores, jawline acne, and shiny, oily skin.

• Cortisol and Stress-Related Skin Problems

Cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, breaks down collagen and elastin over time. High stress levels may lead to wrinkles, dullness, and inflammation, as well as worsening conditions like rosacea or eczema.

How to Balance Hormones and Support Skin Health

At Face Lounge Aesthetics, we take a holistic and customized approach to treating hormonal skin concerns. Here are a few ways we can help:

• Professional Skin Treatments

  • Hydrating facials to restore moisture during estrogen decline.
