Skin Changes During Menopause & How to Care for Them

Menopause is a natural life stage that typically occurs between the ages of 45 to 55, bringing with it significant hormonal changes that can impact various aspects of health, including the skin. Menopause skin changes—such as dryness, sensitivity, redness, and even acne—can be challenging, but they’re manageable with the right care.

This holiday season, we’re offering $50 off treatments when you bring a friend, giving you a reason to celebrate self-care with those you love.

What are the hormonal changes during menopause?

The hormonal changes in menopause, particularly the decrease in estrogen and progesterone, directly impact skin health. Estrogen supports collagen production, elastin, and skin hydration, while progesterone regulates oil production and skin cell growth. As these hormones decline, you may notice:

• Dry, itchy skin due to reduced hydration and a 

weakened skin barrier.

• Fine lines and wrinkles from decreased collagen and elastin.

• Acne is caused by an imbalance of androgens leading to excess oil production.

• Redness and sensitivity are often exacerbated by hot flashes and a thinner skin barrier.

These changes, collectively known as "menopause skin," require targeted care to restore balance and vitality.

How to fix menopausal skin

A tailored skincare routine and professional treatments can significantly improve the look and feel of menopausal skin.

Start with a daily routine designed to hydrate and protect:

• Gentle cleansers to preserve natural oils.

• Moisturizers with hyaluronic acid and ceramides for deep hydration.

• SPF 30 sunscreen to protect against UV damage and prevent further skin aging.

What ingredients are good for menopausal skin?

Since menopause is a natural process, treatments focus on managing these symptoms effectively. While pharmaceutical drugs are available, many women choose alternative therapies to avoid side effects or use them in combination with conventional treatments.

As for menopausal skin, changes such as dryness, thinning, and loss of elasticity are common. To support your skin during this time, consider using products with these key ingredients.

• Retinoids (e.g., Tretinoin) rebuild collagen, smooth wrinkles, and brighten skin.

• Vitamin C to combat free radicals and boost radiance.

• Azelaic acid for redness and rosacea relief.

Using products with these ingredients can significantly help manage skin changes during menopause, keeping it hydrated, smooth, and more resilient. Along with skin care, addressing symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and poor sleep through lifestyle adjustments, alternative therapies, or medications can support overall well-being during this transition.
