Menopause and Skin? What Really Happens and How to Care for It

As women transition through menopause, the skin often begins to tell the story first. Hormonal fluctuations, especially the drop in estrogen, can cause significant changes in skin texture, hydration, and elasticity. But with the right knowledge and care, radiant skin is still possible.

How Menopause Affects Your Skin

Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining skin thickness, moisture, and collagen production. As estrogen declines during menopause, skin undergoes several noticeable changes:

• Loss of elasticity: Less collagen means sagging and more prominent fine lines.
• Dryness and sensitivity: Oil production decreases, leading to drier, more reactive skin.
• Thinning of the skin barrier: Skin may become more prone to irritation and redness.

According to a study published in Dermato-Endocrinology, skin collagen drops by up to 30% in the first five years of menopause. This can accelerate signs of aging if not addressed with targeted skincare.

How to Support Your Skin Through Menopause

The key is to use formulations that restore hydration, boost collagen, and fortify the skin barrier. Look for products rich in antioxidants, peptides, and humectants like hyaluronic acid. Gentle, nutrient-rich skincare is essential during this time.
