Menopause

How does the skin change during menopause?

Menopause brings about hormonal changes in the body that also affect the skin in several ways. The most common skin changes are:

  • Dryness – skin feels dry and tight
  • Sensitivity – the skin becomes more easily irritated and red
  • Lost elasticity – the skin loses its elasticity and feels lifeless
  • Dullness – the skin looks tired and dull and has lost some of its luster

These changes can feel challenging, but there are solutions. With the right products and ingredients, there is a good chance that your skin will be recognizable again.

Skin expert's best tips for skin during menopause

Moisturize deeply

Many people experience drier skin, so it may be a good idea to switch to a richer face cream to provide the skin with enough moisture and to make it feel soft, supple and with a nice glow again.

Rebuild elasticity

Ingredients like retinal, a form of vitamin A, help skin become firmer and more elastic thanks to its collagen-stimulating and cell-renewing properties.

Protect your skin from the sun

The skin becomes more sensitive, making it even more important to protect yourself from the sun. Use sunscreen with a high SPF when the UV index is above 2 to avoid sun damage and pigmentation changes.

Strengthen the skin barrier with probiotics

During menopause, skin becomes thinner and a strong skin barrier is even more important. By strengthening the skin's microbiome with probiotics, you can reduce dryness, irritation and fine lines.
