Your hormones do a lot of behind-the-scenes work—and one of their most visible effects shows up on your skin. From your first teenage breakout to the subtle (and not-so-subtle) shifts that come with menopause, hormones shape your skin’s behavior at every age.

During puberty, a surge in androgen hormones stimulates oil glands, often leading to clogged pores and breakouts. In your 20s and 30s, hormones can fluctuate with stress, menstruation, or pregnancy, causing anything from adult acne to melasma. As you approach perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels begin to drop, leading to dryness, dullness, reduced elasticity, and increased sensitivity.

Understanding how your skin responds to these shifts can help you stay ahead of changes and choose ingredients that support your skin’s evolving needs. Look for hydrating and barrier-strengthening ingredients like jojoba seed oil and hyaluronic acid during drier years, and antioxidant-rich botanicals like sea buckthorn and red maple leaf extract to support skin through stress and age-related transitions.

At Bailin Botanicals, we create formulas that work with your skin—not against it—helping you feel radiant at every stage. Because skin that’s in sync with your hormones is skin that glows with confidence.
