Your guide to menopausal skin: how menopause affects skin & the best ways to manage it
Menopause has a significant impact on a woman’s skin . As our hormones decrease, so too does a substantial percentage of our collagen, leading to an increase in lines, wrinkles, and looser skin, as well as several other potential skin issues. In this ultimate guide, we address the skin changes you may notice and advise how best to prevent or treat them, so you proactively manage this transition and thrive during it, rather than feel overwhelmed!Perimenopause is the lesser-known of the two – it is the transitioning period marking the end of our reproductive years, when ovaries slow down the production of hormones (progesterone and oestrogen) and you may start to notice physical symptoms as a result. Periods become unpredictable, irregular, and eventually stop due to the decline in ovarian function. Perimenopause can last for months or years but it may not be obvious that you are perimenopausal if you only have mild or few symptoms.
