Skin Changes During Menopause: How It Affects You and What to Do to Care for It

Menopause is a natural stage in every woman's life, but it also represents a major challenge for the skin. The hormonal changes that occur during this phase directly affect the skin's appearance and health, making it more prone to dryness, loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles. However, with the right care and the use of specific dermatological products, it is possible to improve its appearance and keep it healthy.

What changes does the skin go through during menopause?

During menopause, the drop in oestrogen and collagen levels causes several changes in the skin, including:

1. Dryness: The skin tends to lose its ability to retain water, which causes dryness and a feeling of tightness.
2. Loss of firmness: Collagen production decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness.
3. Appearance of wrinkles: Fine lines and wrinkles become more noticeable, especially around the eyes and mouth.
4. Thinning of the skin: The skin becomes thinner and more fragile, which increases its sensitivity.
5. Loss of radiance: Cell renewal slows down, resulting in duller, lacklustre skin.
