Menopausal Skin
Addressing hormonal skin changes during menopause
How Menopause Affects Skin
Oestrogen Decline
Collagen drops ~30% in first 5 years. Skin becomes thinner, drier, less elastic.
Sebum Changes
Oil production decreases significantly, leading to increased dryness and sensitivity.
Barrier Weakening
Skin barrier becomes compromised, leading to moisture loss and irritation.
Hormonal Fluctuations
Hot flushes cause flushing; some experience adult acne during perimenopause.
The hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause have significant effects on skin. Declining oestrogen levels accelerate collagen loss, reduce sebum production, and weaken the skin barrier. Understanding these changes allows you to adapt your skincare to address them effectively.
