How menopause affects the skin

Menopause, a transformative stage in a woman's life, is often recognised for its well-known symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings. However, the profound impact it can have on the skin is a topic that is less commonly discussed. The changes that occur during menopause, including increased dryness, laxity, sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness, can catch women by surprise.


It's important for women experiencing these skin changes to recognise that menopause may be a contributing factor. The good news is that there are effective solutions available to help women look and feel their best throughout all stages of menopause. In this discussion, we'll delve into key topics surrounding menopause and its effects on the skin, providing insights into potential skincare strategies and solutions.


During the first five years of menopause, the decline in oestrogen leads to a 30% decrease in dermal collagen. This is the fastest breakdown in collagen and acceleration of intrinsic skin ageing that women will experience during any stage of their life.


Skincare can play a crucial role in addressing the unique challenges that menopausal skin faces.


Hydration is Key:

Menopausal skin often becomes drier, so incorporating hydrating ingredients like polyglutamic acid can help replenish moisture and improve skin texture. Use a rich, nourishing moisturiser like Idyllic Fields Daytime Moisturiser to provide intense hydration, especially on areas prone to dryness.


Collagen Support:

Look for products with ingredients like peptides and probiotics that can stimulate collagen production such as Youth Beam Anti-Ageing Night Serum. Youth Beam will help to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 


Sun Protection:

Sunscreen becomes even more crucial during menopause. UV exposure can exacerbate signs of ageing, so using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is essential. Opt for a lightweight yet effective one such as our Morning Glow Physical Sunscreen


Gentle Cleansing:

Menopausal skin may become more sensitive, so opt for a gentle cleanser like Kaleanser Face Wash that won't strip the skin of its natural oils, but still gives a deep cleanse!


By incorporating these skincare products into a routine tailored for menopausal skin, women can navigate this transformative stage with confidence, embracing the tools that contribute to the health and radiance of their skin!
