Embrace your hormones with grace

HORMONES are those chemical messengers that travel through the body’s bloodstream to send signals that trigger biological responses controlling how organs and cells function.

When you think about it, hormones permeate every aspect of a woman’s life – from health to fertility, energy levels, metabolism, menstruation, menopause and moods.

Any hormonal imbalance can affect our physical appearance, especially our skin, mental health and emotional well-being.

Understanding hormones and their effects on the skin from teenage years to perimenopause and menopause is a constant challenge for many skincare specialists.

Led by company founder Dr Davide Bollati, Italian skincare brand [comfort zone] has come out with a Sublime Skin line that targets hormone ageing.

The Sublime Skin Hormon-Aging line was developed by a scientific community comprising nutridermatologist Dr Mariuccia Bucci, cardiologist Dr Massimo Gualerzi as well as neuroscientist and skincare expert Dr Claudia Aguirre.

This line is specifically created for premenopausal and menopausal women, a delicate stage in a woman’s life when hormones can take on a life of their own. And it could start as early as the late 30s to late 40s.

The line features two skincare products – the Oil Cream and the Oil Serum – formulated by
the patented Cell-Support Technology to counter the extreme dryness, thinning and loss of density typical of menopausal skin.

Cell-Support Technology combines with the synergistic effect of chicory extract, a biotechnological marine extract and eco-sustainable maracuja oil, to restore optimal functionality of the skin and to address contrasting cellular anarchy brought about by hormonal decrease.

Following [comfort zone]’s science-based Conscious Formulas approach, the new Sublime Skin Hormon-Aging line does not contain any animal derivatives, colourant or silicones, but comes with 7.8% of natural-origin ingredients.
