Menopause and its Impact on Your Skin: How Adapting Your Skin Care Routine Can Help

La ménopause et ses impacts sur votre peau : comment choisir la bonne routine de soins

Introduction

Menopause is a major life shift, and every woman experiences it in her own way. While hot flashes, sleep disturbances and mood swings get most of the attention, there’s another change that often gets overlooked—the effect of menopause on skin. You might start to notice changes in tone, texture and resilience over time. If you’re over 45, it’s the perfect time to check in with your skin care routine to make sure it’s keeping up with your skin’s changing needs.

We know what your skin needs during menopause, so feel free to share this with friends or loved ones who might be going through it too. The more we talk about our experiences, the more supported and confident we’ll feel.

How menopause slowly impacts skin health

Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining skin’s plumpness, hydration and elasticity. As its levels decline during menopause, you may notice:

  • Loss of firmness and elasticity

  • Dryness, sensitivity and irritation

  • More visible fine lines and uneven texture

  • Slower cell renewal, leading to dullness

These aren’t just signs of aging—they’re hormonal shifts that directly affect your skin’s structure. And they’re more common than you think.

How to refresh your skin care for menopause

If your current skin care leaves your skin feeling tight, dull or sensitive, here’s how you can adapt your routine:

1. Choose gentle, barrier-friendly cleansers
Cleansers should protect your skin, not strip it. Choose gentle, fragrance-free formulas.

2. Lock in moisture and strengthen skin
Look for hyaluronic acid, squalane and urea to support hydration and restore comfort.


3. Introduce antioxidant-rich formulas
Turmeric, vitamin D and peptides help reduce oxidative stress and even out tone.


4. Don’t skip SPF
Your skin may become more sensitive to sun exposure. Daily SPF is essential.
