Small spots can appear on your face, back, chest, arms, & hairline in perimenopause which can cause you to feel frustrated and anxious ,its as if something is crawling over your skin and you just want to scream!!!
Perimenopause is the lead up to menopause when the hormone levels start to decline. Our body starts to be more dry and sensitive to things like lotions ,Soaps and beauty products.
The drop in the levels of estrogen can cause your skin to be itchy and red and very annoying.
Spots can be caused by hormones too ,but also by excess oil or dead skin that builds up within the pores of your skin. So it is important to take care of your skin.
Your skin contains oil glands that produce sebum, which works to protect and lubricate your hair and skin.
But the build up of sebum in a pore can cause a reaction of redness or slight swelling on the skin.
Oils and dead skin can build up naturally, especially in hairy areas causing spots or irritation.
This can really make you feel stressed , irritated and self-conscious, so make sure wash your hair and cleanse your skin regularly, Wash your skin with natural ingredient and don’t use hot water and pay extra attention after exercise or hot weather.
Use more natural ingredients in your products so you have less irritation.
Exfoliate your skin twice a week and make sure your masking too. Keep the skin hydrated to help the skin repair it self and eliminate the toxins.
Foundations and concealers are often left on overnight or for too long which can cause a build up of oils, dead skin and dirt which can clog the pores causing spots.
So make sure you remove your make up and don’t keep laying on top of your make up.
Some hair products such as hairspray, mousse, oils, and gels can contribute to an excess of oil and skin reactions in the hairline.
Hats, bandanas, or headbands can also trap sweat and oil in the hairline that can build-up sweat and oil that may cause acne or pimples in the hairline.
So make sure your washing them regularly.
Hormonal changes, especially in teens and young adults, can cause an increase in oil production that contributes to acne or spots in the hairline, face, and other areas of the body.
Unfortunately, menopause doesn’t mean the end of spots, but by taking good care of your skin it can really help.
Some women get acne throughout their lives while others get more acne when estrogen levels drop after menopause.
Keep your skin clean and don’t use harsh ingredients on your skin. Try to use natural brands as your skin needs to be balanced.
