Your Hormonal Journey Is Sacred
Hola Hermosa,
The other day I told my mom, “I think I have the power to expand and contract.” She tilted her head, unsure, and gave me a look that said, “¿Qué?” Still, I meant it.
Because when hormones shift, so do we.
Some days we radiate from within. Others, we feel puffy, dull, or fragile. But through it all, we are still glowing. Still becoming. Still sacred.
Now, in my late 40s, I walk alongside perimenopause l ike an old friend. Some days we dance. Some days we cry. But always, I honor what my body is teaching me.
After 25+ years of working with women of all ages, from teens to menopause queens, I've learned one clear, and powerful truth:
We all shift. We all morph. We all glow.
This blog is more than beauty advice. It’s an invitation to ritualize your evolution. To meet your hormonal shifts with grace, plant magic, and grounded self-love.
How Hormones Touch Skin, Hair & Mood
Hormonal changes aren’t something to “fix.” On the contrary, they’re an invitation into deeper knowledge.
Let’s explore the science with care and gentleness:
Estrogen Declines
Skin becomes thinner, drier, more prone to wrinkles, and slower to heal.
Progesterone Fluctuates
Mood swings increase. Also, sensitivity, inflammation, and anxiety can rise.
Cortisol Spikes
This leads to puffiness, breakouts, water retention, and collagen breakdown.
Thyroid Changes
Hair may thin, lose shine, and feel dull. Fatigue and slower skin turnover are common.
Moon Phases
Our inner rhythms continue to align with lunar energy, even when we no longer bleed.
Your body isn’t breaking. It’s initiating you with beautiful transitions worth honoring.
Let’s respond not with resistance, but with rituals.
My Plant-Powered Rituals for Hormonal Skin & Hair
I didn’t create these formulations to follow trends. I made them because my own body asked for them, and because so many women I’ve cared for have echoed the same need.
Let me share my top 3 plant-powered allies to help you Glow Through the Change:
1. ALCHEMIC Brightening Face Elixir
This face oil is a daily ritual for skin that feels inflamed, pigmented, or emotionally overwhelmed.
Ingredients:
Sea Buckthorn : Boosts collagen, reduces inflammation, evens tone.
Passionfruit Oil : Lightweight and nourishing for dry, reactive skin.Neroli : Regenerative and emotionally uplifting.
Marula Oil : Rich in omegas for elasticity, moisture, and hormone-soothed skin.
Ritual: First, mist your skin to prepare it. Then, press 3–5 drops into your skin with intention. As you do, breathe deeply, speak your name out loud, and let the plants hold you.
2. CLEAR-VOYANT Rose Mist
CLEAR-VOYANT is for hormonal skin that’s flushed, irritated, sensitive, or sad .
Ingredients:
Rose Hydrosol : Deeply hydrates, soothes redness, and helps dry, dull hormonal skin return to radiance.
Calendula : Calms hormonal flare-ups and restores skin’s resilience.
This mist feels like a veil of softness. It’s a nervous system reset, a permission slip to slow down.
Ritual: Begin by misting over your face, heart, and crown. Reach for it during hot flashes, emotional waves, or any moment when you need gentleness and grounding.
3. LUNAR Hair Potion
Hormones change, and so does your crown. This is moon medicine for your scalp.
Rosemary : Encourages circulation and supports regrowth for thinning hair.
Argan Oil : Deep conditions, repairs split ends, and restores shine.
This is moon medicine for your scalp. A reconnection to your root system.
Ritual: Gently massage the potion into your scalp 2–3 times a week. As you massage, inhale the scent, allowing it to calm your nervous system. Then, speak affirmations into your crown. Finally, comb your fingers through your hair like it’s your garden: tender, alive, and worthy of care.
From My Chair to Your Mirror
I’ve heard it all:
“My face looks different.”
“My hair is shedding.”
“I don’t feel like myself.”
But here’s what I want you to know, woman to woman:
You are not fading. You are becoming.
Becoming more radiant. More intuitive. More rooted in your wisdom.
This is not about reversing time. It’s about reclaiming your rhythm.
Let Your Beauty Become a Ritual
You don’t need 12 steps. You only need a few sacred moments to reconnect with yourself:
Hydrate your emotions.
Anoint your glow.
Nourish your crown.
Let your mirror become your altar. Let your reflection remind you that you are not unraveling, you are returning: To wisdom. To softness. To power.

FAQ: Hormonal Skin & Hair
What happens to skin during perimenopause?
Estrogen levels drop, causing dryness, thinner skin, increased sensitivity, and slower healing. Collagen production also decreases, which can lead to more visible wrinkles.
What helps hormonal skin naturally?
Ingredients like rose, calendula, sea buckthorn, marula, and passionfruit help hydrate, calm inflammation, and support the skin barrier while also soothing emotional stress.
Does menopause affect hair?
Yes. Hormonal changes reduce follicle support, leading to thinning and dryness. Rosemary + argan oil can stimulate regrowth and restore shine.
