How Hormonal Changes Shape Our Skin and Nails.

Hello beautiful community,
I’m Mariana Herrera, founder of O.A. Clinic by Mariana Herrera, and today I want to talk about something we all experience — the changes that come with time. As women, our bodies are constantly evolving. Our hormones, our skin, and even our nails tell the story of our lives.

Every phase — from our twenties to our fifties and beyond — brings unique transformations. But rather than fearing them, I want to invite you to embrace them with love, knowledge, and the right care. Because when we understand our bodies, we can take better care of ourselves — and glow from the inside out. ✨

💫 1. How Hormones Affect Our Skin

Hormones are like the silent artists behind our skin’s balance.
When we’re young, estrogen keeps our skin hydrated, smooth, and firm. But as the years go by — especially after 35 — hormone levels naturally begin to drop. This can cause dryness, sensitivity, loss of firmness, and the first fine lines.

In O.A. Clinic by Mariana Herrera, we see these changes every day, and we know that small, consistent care makes a big difference. Treatments like microneedling (Dermapen), deep hydration facials, and collagen-stimulating therapies help the skin renew itself naturally, without losing its essence.

And let’s not forget the importance of quality skincare. Our line of Celestetic products — like Rich Care, Hydra Mist, and Active Repair — provides deep hydration, restores radiance, and protects the skin barrier, helping your complexion stay luminous through every season.

💅 2. The Hidden Role of Hormones in Nail Health

Did you know your nails are also affected by your hormones?
Estrogen helps maintain nail hydration and flexibility. When levels drop, nails may become weaker, brittle, or lose their natural shine.

That’s why it’s so important to nourish them with care and regular treatments. At O.A. Clinic, our Autumn Gel Manicure is more than just color — it’s a complete ritual to strengthen, protect, and beautify your nails. This month, it’s available for only €35 (normally €45), with cozy autumn shades that match the season perfectly. 🍂

If you still have gel polish on your nails, don’t worry — gel removal is only €6.25 this month (instead of €12.50)! It’s the perfect time to give your hands a refresh and keep them soft and elegant as the weather cools down.

🌿 3. The Menopause Transition — and How to Care for Your Skin Through It

Menopause is a powerful stage of transformation, but it often brings visible skin changes — less collagen, reduced elasticity, dryness, or pigmentation spots.
This isn’t a loss — it’s simply your body adapting to a new rhythm.

In O.A. Clinic by Mariana Herrera, we support you with personalized treatments that help your skin stay radiant and firm:

• Microneedling (Dermapen) to stimulate collagen and smooth texture.

• LED Light Therapy to brighten and balance the skin tone.

• Hydrating facials with hyaluronic acid to restore softness and glow.

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident — to look in the mirror and recognize your beauty, not your age.

☀️ 4. Lifestyle, Nutrition & Self-Care: The Foundation of Beauty

Your skin and nails don’t just reflect what you apply to them — they reflect how you live and how you feel. Stress, poor sleep, dehydration, or lack of nutrients can all affect your hormonal balance and, in turn, your beauty.

That’s why we believe in a holistic approach in O.A. Clinic by Mariana Herrera.
Eat well, stay hydrated, sleep deeply, and move your body. Supplements with collagen, biotin, and vitamin C can strengthen your hair, skin, and nails from within. Combine this with regular treatments, and you’ll see — and feel — the difference.

Because beauty isn’t about perfection — it’s about balance.

💖 5. Investing in Yourself Is the Best Gift You Can Give

Sometimes we’re so busy taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves. But investing in your skin, your nails, and your peace of mind is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.

In O.A. Clinic by Mariana Herrera, we want every visit to be a moment just for you. A space where you can disconnect, recharge, and rediscover your glow — inside and out.
