If your skin suddenly feels different—drier, more reactive, or prone to breakouts, it may be your hormones.
In perimenopause, shifts in estrogen and progesterone can impact:
• Skin hydration/ elasticity
• Oil production/ breakouts
• Sensitivity/ inflammation
Different types of progestins can have varying effects on the body—especially when it comes to androgen activity, which can influence oil production and acne. Some formulations may be more likely to contribute to breakouts, while others can actually help balance them.

Even when blood sugar labs look “normal,” insulin can be elevated behind the scenes—impacting hormones. Causing: • Ovulation and cycle regularity • Testosterone production • Acne and unwanted hair growth • Thyroid function and energy.
Calendula's resin-rich petals are traditionally harvested and infused into oils, salves, and tinctures for their soothing medicinal properties. Calendula can support skin healing, calm irritation & soothe inflammation.#FloraNaturopathics#BackyardBotanicals#Calendula
Noticing more breakouts after sugary foods? There’s a reason. Blood sugar spikes can trigger a cascade of hormonal changes—raising insulin and IGF-1—which can increase oil production and contribute to clogged pores and acne.
