Hormonal conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Endometriosis don’t just affect the body internally—they can also wreak havoc on your skin. Many clients come to us frustrated with acne, excess oil, or dry patches, without realising that these symptoms could be related to their hormonal health. Common symptoms of PCOS include acne (particularly along the jawline), excess facial hair, and oily skin. This is due to elevated androgen levels, which cause the skin to produce more oil and clog pores. While Endometriosis primarily affects the reproductive organs, hormonal imbalances linked to this condition can also impact skin health, particularly around the menstrual time of the month.
How We Can Help
At Aeon Aesthetics, we offer a range of treatments designed to address skin issues related to hormonal conditions while supporting the overall health of your skin. We believe that achieving healthy skin is not a one-time fix—it's an ongoing journey that requires consistency, collaboration, and personalised care. That’s why we created our skin memberships. These memberships allow us to work together, giving your skin the attention it needs at regular intervals to see real, lasting improvements.
Consistency Is Key
Hormonal conditions like PCOS and Endometriosis can cause fluctuations in your skin's health. Just like your body changes over time, so does your skin, especially when influenced by hormonal shifts. To effectively manage these changes, regular treatments are essential. Consistency helps us stay ahead of breakouts, inflammation, and other symptoms, providing your skin with what it needs at every stage.
Why a Skin Membership?
By joining one of our skin memberships, you ensure that your skincare routine doesn’t fall by the wayside. We schedule regular check-ins and treatments, allowing us to adapt to your skin’s needs as they evolve. This approach ensures we can work together in a collaborative way, making adjustments when necessary, and tracking your skin’s progress over time.
Skincare Is a Journey, Not a Destination
Our goal is not "perfect" skin—because no one’s skin is perfect. Instead, we focus on helping you achieve healthy skin that feels balanced, comfortable, and radiant. Through regular treatments and tailored home-care routines, we aim to manage your skin’s needs consistently, supporting long-term health rather than quick fixes.
Managing Skin at Home
In addition to in-salon treatments, a good skincare routine ensures that you can continue to care for your skin and stay consistent at home.
Here are some tips to support hormonal skin:
Double Cleansing: Choosing an oil-based first cleanse like Precleanse to attract oil, makeup, SPF and bacteria, and thoroughly remove from the skin. Then a skin-specific cleanser to remove impurities without stripping the skin. Clearing Skin Wash is great for acne-prone skin, or UltraCalming Cleanser is ideal for inflamed acne skin.
Moisturising and Hydration: Even oily or acne-prone skin needs hydration. Look for lightweight, oil-free moisturiser like Active Moist to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Concentrated Treatment for Breakouts: For those battling hormonal breakouts, Retinol Clearing Oil has dual action-packed ingredients salicylic acid to target active breakouts and clear skin, whilst slow-release retinol works to optimise skin recovery and acne pigmentation.
Exfoliation: Gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week can help keep pores clear and skin smooth. Daily Microfoliant offers a gentle yet effective way to brighten acne scarring and renew the skin.
Sun Protection: Never forget SPF! Sun exposure can worsen pigmentation and scars, especially on acne-prone skin. Use a broad-spectrum SPF like Oil Free Matte SPF30 for daily protection.
When to Seek Medical Advice
While we can help manage skin symptoms related to hormonal conditions like PCOS and Endometriosis, it’s important to remember that these are medical conditions that require a diagnosis and treatment from a healthcare provider. We always encourage clients to seek advice from their GP or a specialist if they suspect a hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal conditions like PCOS and Endometriosis can significantly affect your skin, but with the right treatments, both in the salon and at home, you can regain control and confidence. If you suspect your skin concerns may be related to hormonal issues, we are here to help guide you and provide effective, personalised treatments that work. At Aeon Aesthetics, we are always here to support you on your journey to healthier, happier skin!
