Stopping the pill isn't always easy and is often accompanied by physical discomfort, which is usually noticeable externally. Many women's main concerns are acne and hair loss. But there are many resources available to help you get your body back in balance after stopping the pill and to prevent or alleviate problems like acne or hair loss.
No matter what ailments your body is struggling with, it's generally important to eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, and avoid stress. Proper skincare also plays a major role. However, it's particularly crucial to understand the connection between hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle and skin and hair problems. The root cause of issues like acne and hair loss often lies elsewhere in the body.
What helps against acne and hair loss?
1. Proper care
Proper, regular skincare is essential for blemished or acne-prone skin. The face should be cleansed morning and evening with (natural) products. You can recognize the right products by the fact that they do not contain parabens, silicones, or similar hormone-disrupting substances. A small miracle worker in skincare is the aloe vera plant. With its over 200 active ingredients, it not only provides ample moisture but also contains antibacterial substances.
2. The right diet
The cause of post-pill symptoms often lies in the gut and liver. These two organs are responsible for detoxification in our bodies and therefore need to be supported as much as possible. With the right diet, you can not only do your body good, but also alleviate or even prevent problems like acne and hair loss. Foods such as citrus fruits, green vegetables, and turmeric are rich in vitamin C or have antimicrobial properties that help combat inflammatory processes in the body. Bitter substances from, for example, dandelion tea help the liver detoxify the body and prevent problems like hair loss.
Dietary supplements can also be helpful. Quality is crucial! Cheaper versions are often synthetically produced and don't achieve the desired effect. Nutrients that are particularly well-suited for supplementation include zinc, biotin, and selenium. Zinc helps regulate testosterone levels and normalize the skin's oil production, thus preventing blemishes. Furthermore, in combination with biotin and selenium, it contributes to hair growth. In our shop, you'll find capsules containing these nutrients, making them perfect for your skin and hair after discontinuing the pill.
3. Get to know your body
Most importantly, you need to know and understand your body. Acne and hair loss are simply signals your body sends when it's lacking something. So take the time to interpret these signals. To know exactly how to react, you should track your cycle. With our Ovy app and Bluetooth basal thermometer, you can track your symptoms daily throughout your cycle, as well as how your skin and hair change.
