In our relentless pursuit of flawless skin, we often focus on external remedies and beauty products while overlooking the profound impact of internal factors on the external skin health. RAKxa Wellness, the leading medical wellness retreat in Thailand recognizes that beyond the fleeting trends of skincare, achieving beautiful skin also relies heavily on maintaining hormonal balance.
Hormones, the chemical messengers of your body, regulate numerous bodily functions, including those that directly influence your skin. The fluctuation of various hormones can contribute to potential skin concerns such as acne, dryness, or even aging. Moreover, factors like stress, diet, and toxin exposure can disrupt hormonal equilibrium, further compromising the appearance of our skin.
Here is a breakdown of how specific hormones affect the skin:
- Oestrogens play an aiding role in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity and thickness. Whilepresent in everyone, women tend to have higher oestrogen levels than men. The decrease in oestrogen levels is one of the culprits that causes skin ageing in post-menopausal women.
- Androgens, which are present in all humans but more abundant in men, play a key role in hair growth, hair follicle differentiation and increased sebum production. Excessive androgens can contribute to acne breakouts and hair loss.
- Cortisol, commonly known as the stress hormone determines how we feel. Acne, skin inflammation and premature skin ageing can be triggered by the increase of this hormone.
