Menopause Skincare: How Hormones Affect Your Skin Health
As you journey through perimenopause and menopause, your body undergoes significant hormonal shifts - and your skin feels it too. If your once-balanced complexion suddenly feels dry, sensitive, or unpredictable, you’re not imagining things. Let’s explore how hormonal changes affect your skin and how you can support it with a natural, nourishing skincare routine tailored to this life stage.
How Menopause Affects the Skin
The primary hormone at play here is oestrogen. As levels decline, several key changes occur in your skin:
-
Reduced collagen production: Collagen keeps your skin firm and bouncy. Lower levels lead to sagging and fine lines.
-
Thinner skin: A drop in oestrogen causes the skin to lose its plumpness and become more fragile.
-
Decreased sebum production: You may notice increased dryness and tightness as your skin produces less oil.
-
Increased sensitivity: Hormonal fluctuations can trigger inflammation or make skin more reactive.
You’re not alone if your skincare shelf suddenly feels outdated. The products that worked for you five years ago might not cut it anymore - and that’s where natural, menopause-friendly skincare comes in.
Why Choose Natural Skincare During Menopause?
During this hormonal shift, your skin deserves extra care - without the harsh additives or synthetic fragrances often found in conventional products. Natural skincare offers:
-
Gentler formulations to soothe and calm sensitised skin.
-
Botanical oils to replenish lost moisture and support the skin barrier.
-
Nutrient-rich ingredients like antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and plant actives to encourage repair and regeneration.
