Menopause can bring about a number of changes in a woman. We have probably all heard about the hot flushes, the inability to sleep and the brain fog but did you know menopause can also cause several skin changes, such as dryness, sensitivity, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Here, we explore the ways in which your skin might change and what you can do to support your skin during this time (and maybe partake in a little bit of pampering in the process!)
1. Dryness & Dehydration
Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides are essential for locking in moisture. Layering hydration with serums and moisturisers helps protect your skin’s barrier while treatments like mesotherapy deeply hydrate the skin and deliver essential nutrients.
2. Increased Sensitivity
Menopausal skin can be more sensitive, so using calming ingredients like Niacinamide and Aloe Vera is key. Gentle exfoliation using AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) or chemical peels can help remove dead skin without irritating sensitive skin. However, mechanical exfoliation techniques such as dermaplaning and microdermabrasion should be used with caution on reactive skin.
3. Loss of Firmness & Fine Lines
To combat sagging and fine lines, incorporate Peptides, Retinoids, and treatments like microneedling to stimulate collagen production. This can be further boosted with chemical peels, which enhance skin renewal and improve firmness.
4. Hyperpigmentation
Hormonal fluctuations can lead to dark spots and uneven tone. Ingredients like Vitamin C and exfoliants such as Lactic Acid can brighten the skin, while chemical peels and microdermabrasion help fade pigmentation.
REMEMBER SPF Protection is a MUST in any skincare routine but menopausal skin is more prone to sun damage, so SPF is an absolute non-negotiable in your daily skincare routine
