For many transgender women, there’s a moment in their lives that’s incredibly powerful and filled with happiness. Starting HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is one of the most thrilling and life-changing experiences. It changes your life and helps you to grow in ways you never thought possible. After the HRT process, your body goes through a lot of changes. However, finding a good skincare routine feels impossible at times.
The intake of hormones causes your oestrogen levels to rise and your testosterone to drop, which makes your skin softer and less oily. Within the span of a few months, a lot of things happen on your face, such as dry skin, acne and rashes, etc.
As a trans woman, it is difficult to achieve bright skin as, on a regular basis, our faces are put through so many elements. There are daily makeup treatments, as well as the factor of pollution and many other environmental factors that can lessen the skin’s natural glow. Skin care is essential to keeping your skin bright and healthy.
It is essential to remove your makeup at the end of the day if you are wearing makeup regularly. For this, you can use a cleanser or an exfoliant suited to your skin and moisten your skin every morning and evening. You can also utilise skincare products that include fatty acids and ceramides to moisturise your skin and keep it brighter, smoother, and healthier for makeup application.
Oestrogen also reduces the amount of oil your skin produces and makes your skin dry and irritated, which makes the skin more susceptible to developing rashes. To combat this problem, it is really important to make sure your skin is well-hydrated. If you are facing the problem of acne after treatment, salicylic acid is a great ingredient for fighting acne. Whether you are using it as a cleanser or in a leave-on treatment, salicylic acid works in-depth within the pores to free up debris and build-up. So this helps to clear the existing acne and helps to prevent further breakouts.
Shaving irritation is a common problem for most trans women at some point in their transition. Some irritation is bound to happen. Using ingredients like aloe vera to relieve, glycerine to hydrate, and salicylic acid for some gentle flaking will have positive benefits in the affected area.
