What role do hormones play in hormonal skin imperfections ?

Find out more about hormonal imperfections

From puberty to menopause, the ovaries naturally produce certain hormones: estrogen and progesterone. In fact, the body undergoes hormonal upheavals that result in numerous changes to the skin.

In the first half of the cycle, estrogen dominates, then progesterone takes over in the second half. These hormones act via receptors, which have a complementary shape. These receptors are unevenly distributed across the skin’s surface: the face is the area richest in them, and therefore the one most affected by hormonal changes.

What causes hormonal imperfections ?

They can be caused by stress, puberty, pregnancy, menopause and other hormonal changes. Hormonal changes in the body can cause a number of imperfections to appear on our skin.

These can include wrinkles, thinning skin, acne, hair loss, etc.

Stress is another major factor in hormonal imbalance, as the body produces more cortisol when under pressure, which can lead to increased inflammation and dryness of the skin.

What does the location of your hormonal imperfections mean ?

While the appearance of pimples in certain areas can be a sign of a variety of discomforts, those on the jawline are definitely due to hormones. They generally appear during the menstrual or premenstrual period and disappear a week later.
