Hormonal Harmony – For a Body in Balance

Hormones affect everything.
From your skin and hair to your energy, mood, and how you feel each day.
When they’re in balance? You feel strong, radiant, and in harmony. But when they’re out of sync, it shows — in the form of dry skin, hair loss, imbalanced oil production, and fatigue.

That’s why at Under Your Skin, we’re dedicating all of March to Hormonal Harmony Month – a time to explore how you can support your body with mindful choices, clean products, and small daily rituals that make a big difference.

How do hormones affect your skin and hair?

Hormones act as your body’s internal messengers, regulating essential functions like oil production, skin cell turnover, and hair growth. When your hormones fluctuate, you may experience:

• Imbalanced skin – Increased oil can lead to breakouts, while lower estrogen levels may cause dry and sensitive skin.

• Hair loss and thinning – Hormonal imbalance can disrupt your hair’s natural growth cycle, leading to increased shedding or less volume.

• Dry and irritated scalp – Stress and hormonal shifts can affect your scalp’s health, resulting in dryness, itchiness, and imbalance.

What do beauty products have to do with hormonal balance?

Many conventional beauty products contain hormone-disrupting chemicals, also known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These can interfere with the body’s natural hormone systems and potentially contribute to hormonal imbalances.

According to the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation and research by the Endocrine Society, EDCs may impact fertility, skin health, and the body’s natural balance.

Common hormone-disrupting chemicals in beauty products include:

• Parabens – Used as preservatives but can mimic estrogen.

• Phthalates – Often found in fragrances, linked to hormone disruption.

• Sulfates (SLS, SLES) – Can strip the skin and damage the natural barrier.

That’s why all Under Your Skin products are completely free from these ingredients.
Instead, we use natural, plant-based ingredients that nourish your skin and hair – without interfering with your body’s natural rhythm.

How can you support your hormonal balance?

• Choose hormone-friendly products – Use skin and hair care free from hormone-disrupting chemicals.

• Support your skin from within – Nutrition plays a key role in hormonal harmony. Omega-3, zinc, and antioxidants can help balance the skin.

• Manage stress – Cortisol, your stress hormone, affects both skin and hair. Prioritize rest, sleep, and moments of calm.

• Let your body detox naturally – Avoid unnecessary chemicals and choose natural products to ease your body’s burden.
