As women, our skin constantly evolves, influenced by hormonal fluctuations that impact everything from hydration to elasticity. From our mid-30s onwards, changes in oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels can cause skin to become drier, more sensitive, or prone to breakouts—sometimes all at once!
Understanding how hormones affect our skin and choosing natural skincare to support these changes is essential for maintaining a healthy, glowing complexion. At Velettà, we believe in working with your skin, not against it, using high-performance plant-based ingredients that restore balance and vitality.
How Hormones Impact Your Skin
Hormones play a major role in skin health, and as we move through different life stages, they influence:
- Oestrogen & Collagen Production – Oestrogen helps keep skin plump and firm by stimulating collagen and elastin. As levels decline in our late 30s and 40s, we may notice fine lines, sagging, and thinner skin.
- Sebum & Hydration Levels – Oestrogen also regulates sebum (oil) production. Lower levels can lead to drier skin, while progesterone shifts may cause occasional oiliness and breakouts.
- Increased Sensitivity – As skin becomes thinner, it may react more to harsh ingredients, synthetic fragrances, or environmental aggressors.
- Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone – Fluctuations in hormones can trigger melasma (dark patches on the skin), particularly after pregnancy or during perimenopause.
Why Natural Skincare is the Best Choice
Synthetic skincare products often contain harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and hormone-disrupting ingredients that can exacerbate skin concerns rather than soothe them.
Natural skincare, particularly products rich in plant-based antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and calming botanicals, helps restore balance while being gentle on the skin.
How to Support Your Skin with Velettà
At Velettà, our products are free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals—making them ideal for hormonally changing skin. Here’s how to build a skincare routine that nurtures and supports your complexion.
1. Cleanse Without Stripping
A gentle, oil-based cleanser removes impurities while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Try: Velettà Cleansing Oil – A nourishing blend that melts away makeup and impurities without disrupting the skin’s delicate balance.
2. Hydrate & Strengthen the Skin Barrier
Hormonal shifts can leave skin dehydrated and reactive. A hydrating serum packed with antioxidants and bioactive botanicals helps reinforce the skin barrier.
Try: Velettà Bioactive Illuminating Serum – Formulated to replenish lost moisture, even out skin tone, and provide essential nutrients for glowing, resilient skin.
3. Lock in Moisture & Restore Balance
Using a facial oil rich in essential fatty acids helps counteract the dryness caused by declining oestrogen levels.
Try: Velettà Rejuvenating Oil – This luxurious blend deeply nourishes, restores elasticity, and provides long-lasting hydration.
4. Target Hormonal Breakouts
Even in your 40s, hormonal fluctuations can trigger adult acne, especially around the jawline. Instead of using harsh treatments, opt for a balancing mask.
Try: Velettà Purifying Mask – A clarifying formula that gently detoxifies and reduces inflammation without over-drying the skin.
5. Nourish & Protect with a Rich Moisturiser
As skin becomes drier with age, a deeply hydrating moisturiser is key to keeping it soft and supple.
Try: Velettà Nourishing Moisturiser – Packed with botanical extracts that restore hydration and reinforce the skin barrier.
6. Brighten & Refresh Tired Eyes
Dark circles and puffiness can be worsened by hormonal changes. A targeted eye cream helps restore a youthful, energised appearance.
Try: Velettà Revitalise Eye Cream – A hydrating formula designed to smooth fine lines and reduce signs of fatigue.
Lifestyle Tips to Support Hormonal Skin Health
In addition to using high-quality natural skincare, lifestyle choices play a key role in balancing hormones and promoting healthy, radiant skin:
✔ Eat Healthy Fats – Avocados, nuts, and flaxseeds support skin hydration and hormone balance.
✔ Prioritise Sleep – Poor sleep increases cortisol (stress hormone), accelerating ageing and triggering breakouts.
✔ Manage Stress – Meditation, yoga, and deep breathing help stabilise hormones and reduce inflammation.
✔ Hydrate – Drinking plenty of water flushes out toxins and keeps skin plump.
