Menopause isn’t just a new phase of life; it’s an opportunity to explore new ways to care for yourself and your skin. We understand it can feel challenging as your skin changes, but with the right knowledge and care, you can embrace this time feeling empowered and as your best self!

Common skin changes during menopause

Dry skin

The skin often becomes drier during menopause when the skin's natural fat production (sebum) decreases. When sebum production decreases, the skin also loses its ability to retain moisture, which can result in dry, scaly skin. Adding extra moisture and nutrition is therefore crucial to keeping the moisture balance stable.

Thinner skin and enlarged pores

Another common change is that the skin becomes thinner and more sensitive, which means that blood vessels, wrinkles and pores are more clearly visible. Strengthening the skin with collagen stimulants such as retinol and niacinamide can help maintain skin firmness.

Uneven pigmentation

Hormonal changes during menopause can also affect skin pigmentation. The reduction of pigment-producing cells, melanocytes, means that the skin can have an uneven color or age spots. These brown spots on the skin can be difficult to avoid completely, but with the right product and protection, their visibility can be reduced.

Switch to a richer moisturizer

A good moisturizer is the key to balanced and healthy skin, especially when it gets colder and drier, you may need to adjust your skin care routine by adding even more moisture. At Skinome you will find moisturizers that both moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier.

Menopause

Strengthen your skin with retinol

Retinol is a form of vitamin A, known for its collagen-stimulating and cell-renewing properties. Retinol can help reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. Since retinol can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, it should only be used in the evening. You can find retinol in Skinome's night concentrate, Night Active Retinol , to strengthen your evening routine.

Boost your microbiome

A healthy microbiome contributes to less dryness and irritation as well as a better ability to maintain moisture balance, fewer fine lines and more radiance. Use products containing probiotics to strengthen the skin's microbiome and promote balanced skin, you can find probiotics in our Probiotic Concentrate.

Protect your skin from the sun

During menopause, the skin becomes more sensitive to the sun, which increases the risk of pigmentation and ageing. Always use a sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin when you're outdoors, even on cloudy days when the UV index is 2 or higher. Sunscreen helps the skin maintain its youthful appearance and prevents damage from UV rays. Sun Emulsion SPF 50+ helps your skin to be protected against both UVA and UVB radiation.
