For step two of your double cleanse, follow up with a foam cleanser to make sure that your skin is clear and fresh. This option effectively removes excess oil, dirt, and makeup, without disrupting your skin's natural moisture barrier. This makes it especially good for your sensitive period skin.
Exfoliating during your period can worsen the state of your skin. It's already sensitive, and it might be more inflamed when you use your usual exfoliant. However, you'd still want to detox your skin from excess sebum and dirt. A gentle glow tonic like this one is perfect for clearing your skin — it's made with aloe vera which soothes and hydrates your face and it doesn't contain any alcohol. It also speeds up cell renewal which makes your skin appear brighter and healthier.
Because your skin is dry during your period, you're going to want a hardworking hydrating mask like this one for some extra moisture. Knours. is a brand that creates products that caters to the hormonal changes of your body and this popular mask from the brand has the energy boost that your period skin needs. It has botanicals like baikal skullcap root extract that help your skin rejuvenate. It's also formulated with organic aroma oils, which makes it extra relaxing.
For your period skin's inflammatory issues, use this K-beauty cult favorite. Its Jeju green tea hydrates your skin back to life and helps to calm irritation/quell breakouts. It soaks into skin almost instantly like a sip of cool water — and did we mention it smells like a refreshing mix of florals and a glass of iced green tea?
And for days when you just can't get rid of that big ol' hormonal acne, opt to use a pimple patch for instant spot treatment. They help clear up zits better than pretty much anything, making them a true godsend for that time of the month.
