Caring for Your Skin Before, During, and After Menopause
Aging is a natural process we all experience, but for many women, the journey through menopause brings unique changes to the skin that can feel sudden and challenging. You might notice increased dryness, loss of tone, unexpected breakouts, or heightened sensitivity—all of which can seem to happen in a short span of time. These changes are often due to the shifting hormones associated with menopause and the years leading up to it, known as perimenopause.
At Beauty Comes Naturally, we’re here to help you navigate these changes and care for your skin at every stage of menopause—before, during, and after.
What Happens to Your Skin During Menopause
Menopause is a transformative time for the body, with hormonal shifts significantly impacting the skin. Here's a breakdown of the major changes:
Testosterone: This hormone influences sebum (oil) production. Increased testosterone dominance, due to declining estrogen, can lead to acne breakouts or facial hair growth.
Estrogen: A key player in maintaining skin’s structural integrity, estrogen affects collagen and hyaluronic acid levels, keeping skin plump and wrinkle-free. Its decline leads to dryness, loss of elasticity, and more pronounced wrinkles.
Progesterone: This hormone regulates estrogen and helps control stress by balancing cortisol levels. As progesterone levels drop, skin may become more sensitive and prone to dryness or oiliness.
Perimenopause vs. Menopause
Perimenopause: Often beginning in your 30s or 40s, this stage is marked by fluctuating hormones, irregular cycles, and, for some, hot flashes. Skin changes like sensitivity, pigmentation, or age spots may appear, as well as increased dryness or oiliness.
Menopause: After 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle, menopause officially begins. During the first five years, collagen production can drop by up to 30%, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. By age 60, collagen levels may decline by 50%. Age spots and pigmentation become more noticeable, and facial hair growth may increase.
