Collection: Teenage or Hormonal Skin

At time during our lives, teenage years or menopause when hormonal changes are taking place, our skin can become extra sensitive and sebum production can go into overdrive causing blocked pores which can lead to blemishes.

It's tempting to reach for astringent products that strip excess oil from the skin at these times, however it is now known that trying to remove excess oil can backfire as the skin often overcompensates for the sudden loss of oil sensing sebum production into overdrive, exacerbating the problem. 

Many Lyonsleaf customers have found that oil cleansing with one of our Beauty Balms can actually help sebum production rebalance, settling skin prone to breakouts and reducing issues with oily shine. These products are very rich in shea butter which has very high levels of Vitamin A (natural retinol) which is known to help teenage and hormonal skin.

Lyonsleaf Zinc and Calendula Cream can calm difficult skin, especially hormonal and teenage skin. Zinc oxide synergises really well with Vitamin A to keep sebum in balance which is why we pair these products together in our Clean and Clear Natural skincare System
