Menopause can introduce a new chapter in life, bringing about a myriad of transformations that can take a serious toll on the skin, too.
Suddenly, that once-plump, radiant complexion might feel drier, more sensitive, or even prone to breakouts. But don't worry—your skin's just asking for a little extra love. The right skincare routine (plus a few powerhouse ingredients) can help keep your glow alive.
Why does menopausal skin change?
The culprit? A sharp decline in estrogen levels. Estrogen helps maintain the skin's hydration, elasticity, and collagen production. When those levels dip, skin can become thinner, drier, and more fragile. Fine lines seem to settle in overnight, while sagging, dullness, and even acne can make an unwelcome appearance.
Hydration is more important than ever!
If your skin suddenly feels like parchment paper, it's time to level up your hydration game. Ditch harsh cleansers and reach for a gentle, hydrating cleanser that won't strip your skin. Follow up with a rich yet breathable natural moisturizer for dry skin packed with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and non-fragrant plant oils.
Pro tip: Layering a firming facial serum with peptides or collagen-boosting ingredients before your moisturizer can help improve elasticity and plump fine lines.
Support collagen production
Collagen loss is the main reason skin loses its bounce and firmness during menopause. Look for anti-aging superheroes like retinol, peptides, and vitamin C to counteract this. These ingredients help stimulate collagen production, making your skin feel firmer and more resilient. If retinol is too harsh, bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative, is a great option.
Be extra kind to sensitive skin
Menopausal skin can become more reactive, making it essential to avoid harsh ingredients and fragrances. Stick to clean beauty products with soothing ingredients like aloe, green tea, and centella asiatica.
SPF is non-negotiable
Sun damage is a major contributor to accelerated aging. Since menopausal skin is thinner and more vulnerable than pre-menopausal skin, wearing a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily is a must. If you're looking for a clean beauty brand option, choose mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for gentle, effective protection.
Embrace luxury, but choose wisely
Not all skincare is created equal. Investing in luxury airless skincare products ensures potent ingredients stay fresh and effective. When selecting products, focus on brands known for clean beauty collective principles—free from harsh chemicals and packed with nourishing botanicals.
