SKIN CARE DURING THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE
The menstrual cycle affects the skin due to hormonal changes. Here are brief recommendations for skin care during each cycle phase to help maintain health and comfort while using sanitary pads.
Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5):
Issue: Dryness, sensitivity, dullness.
Tips: Use a gentle cleanser and an intensive moisturizing cream with hyaluronic acid. Change pads every 4–6 hours, opting for breathable materials to avoid irritation. Drink water and eat foods rich in omega-3 to reduce inflammation.
Follicular Phase (Days 6–14):
Issue: Skin recovers, becomes fresher.
Tips: Apply lightweight moisturizers and serums with vitamin C for radiance. Maintain hygiene with hypoallergenic pads. Gentle exfoliation (AHA/BHA) can help renew the skin.
Ovulatory Phase (Days 15–17):
Issue: Skin glows but may be slightly oily.
Tips: Use minimal care: cleansing, moisturizing, SPF. Choose pads with natural materials for comfort. Serums with niacinamide can enhance natural glow.
Luteal Phase (Days 18–28):
Issue: Oiliness, acne, sensitivity.
Tips: Cleanse skin twice daily with salicylic acid. Use non-comedogenic creams and highly absorbent pads to minimize irritation. Avoid aggressive procedures.
General Tips:
· Change pads regularly and choose hypoallergenic options without fragrances.
· Eat a balanced diet: omega-3, antioxidants, and water support skin from within.
· If irritation or acne persists, consult a dermatologist.
Sync your skin care with your cycle and choose high-quality sanitary pads to feel confident and comfortable!
