Menopause & Skincare: Adapting Your Routine

Hormonal shifts during menopause significantly impact the skin. Declining estrogen levels can lead to dryness, sensitivity, and loss of elasticity.

To maintain a healthy complexion during and after menopause:

  • Hydrate deeply: Use ceramide-rich and hyaluronic acid-based moisturizers.
  • Protect with SPF daily: Skin becomes more susceptible to UV damage.
  • Include retinoids: These can boost collagen production and smooth texture.
  • Avoid harsh exfoliants: Use gentle acids or enzymatic exfoliators.

Key Adaptations:

  • Use richer creams for moisture
  • Add soothing ingredients like niacinamide
  • Embrace facial oils to seal in hydration

Adjusting your skincare routine can make this transition more graceful and effective.
