Are you a trans женщина undergoing hormone therapy and wondering what to expect for your skin?

Hormone therapy is a process that many transgender women experience. This treatment process brings physical and emotional transformations. One of the most obvious results of this journey is changes in the skin. Many people expect softer, thinner and more sensitive skin as a result of this treatment. These changes in the skin are also an important part of the feminization process. Paying attention to some points during this transformation supports skin health and feminization.

In this article, we will discuss the changes that occur in the skin during hormone therapy and how it can adapt to these changes. Our goal is not only to provide information, but also to motivate, empower and boost your confidence.

What Do Hormone Therapy Do to the Skin?

Estrogen and anti-androgen therapy as part of hormone therapy changes the structure of the skin over time. At this point, testosterone levels drop and estrogen rises. With these changes, the following conditions occur:

• The skin becomes thinner and more transparent.
• Oil production decreases, which can lead to a reduction in acne.
• Pores become smaller and the skin looks smoother.
• The hair structure becomes thinner and thinning can be observed in some areas.
• Collagen production may increase; this contributes to the skin looking fuller.

However, patience is very important to fully observe these changes. Although visible differences usually start between 3 and 6 months, the full transformation will take several years. It is important to be gentle and patient with your skin throughout this process.

Why It’s Important to Adapt to Sensitized Skin?

After hormone therapy, the skin can become more sensitive and reactive. This can make it vulnerable to negative effects. Previously used products may now be too heavy for the skin or cause irritation. To prevent all these negative effects, it is necessary to reconsider the skin care routine and make it more sensitive. Here are some suggestions we think you might find useful:

1. Use Gentle Cleansers
   Sulfate-free, pH-balancing cleansers are ideal for sensitive skin. Harsh cleansers can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, which can cause permanent damage to the skin. Remember: A healthy barrier is everything for healthy skin!
2. Don’t Neglect Moisturizer
   As skin becomes thinner, it becomes more prone to water loss. This can lead to moisture loss, which can accelerate aging and acne. Maintaining moisture balance with a light, fragrance-free moisturizer will support healthy-looking skin.
3. Sun Protection is more Important than You Think
   New skin may be more vulnerable to the sun’s rays. Using a sunscreen with SPF 30 and above is critical for long-term skin health. It also delays signs of aging.

Does Every Skin Develop Acne and Dryness Due to Hormone Therapy?

Not all skin reacts to hormone therapy in the same way. Some trans women may experience an increase in acne due to hormonal fluctuations, especially early in treatment. This is temporary and usually stabilizes over time.

Dryness is a more common problem. There may be flaking on the lips, cheeks or body parts. In this case, it is possible to relieve the skin by preventing this dryness with regular moisturizing and products containing ceramides that help lock moisture into the skin.

Is Dermatologist Follow-up Necessary?

Skin changes, hormone therapy and the gender transition process is a completely personal experience. While this process is easier for some trans women, others may develop sensitivity and various reactions. For this reason, it is valuable to follow up the process with a dermatologist for skin health.

It is natural to find yourself about to give up when it becomes difficult to deal with skin problems, but do not give up and remember this: This transformation is not only an external but also an internal renewal. Continuing on this journey with patience and imagining yourself achieving your goals will give you the motivation you need. Taking care of yourself and feeling spiritually well are at the heart of this process.

Self-Love is the Best Self-Care Routine

Красота is not just about the glow of your skin, it’s about your self-esteem and confidence. Loving the face you see when you look in the mirror has a deeper effect than the best skincare cream. Your skin and body are alive and mirror your feelings. And yes, your skin is changing. We all know it; sometimes you can see a face in the mirror that you don’t recognize. But this face bears the marks of courage, journey and личность.

Be kind to yourself in this process and leave room for mistakes. Because the compassion you show yourself is more valuable than anything else. Live in harmony with change without focusing on managing and controlling it. Because beauty begins when you start to love yourself, not in the mirror.

Hormone therapy is a special period that requires you to establish a new relationship with your skin. This process can sometimes be rough, sometimes slow. But there is a body and soul working for you at every stage. Don’t forget to thank them.

As your skin changes, you change too. You become a little more “you” every morning. That’s why care is not only a technical but also a spiritual practice. A care routine supported by knowledge and woven with love will bring you not only beauty but also peace.
