Changes in Skin Texture and Tone
You might also see changes in how your skin feels and looks. Hormonal shifts can cause imbalances, leading to rough patches, dryness, or oiliness. It’s important to recognise these changes so you can create a skincare routine that works for you.
Building a Skincare Routine
With all these skin changes happening, it’s super important to set up a simple skincare routine that you stick to. Here are the basics you should include:
- Cleansing - This helps remove excess oil, dirt, and makeup that can clog your pores.
- Toning - This step makes sure your skin is fully clean, balances its pH, and helps your moisturiser work better.
- Moisturising-Keeping your skin hydrated prevents it from producing too much oil when it gets dry.
- Sun Protection -Wearing sunscreen is key to protecting your skin from UV damage, which can worsen acne scars and cause premature aging.

Eating Right and Lifestyle Choices
Besides sticking to a skincare routine, what you eat and your lifestyle choices also play a big part in how your skin looks.
Nutrition
Think of your diet as the building blocks for your skin. Eating a lot of sugar and dairy can lead to more breakouts. On the other hand, munching on fruits, veggies, and foods rich in omega-3s (like fish and nuts) can help reduce inflammation and give you clearer skin.
Lifestyle Tips
Getting enough sleep and managing stress are crucial for keeping your skin healthy too. Not getting enough sleep or dealing with high stress can throw your hormones out of whack, making acne worse or triggering other skin issues like eczema. Finding ways to relax—whether it’s through exercise, hobbies, or chill-out time can do wonders for your skin during this busy time.
