During perimenopause and post-menopause, declining oestrogen levels trigger structural and functional changes within the skin.
Reduced oestrogen impacts:
- Collagen and elastin production, leading to skin thinning, loss of firmness, and the appearance of fine lines
- Sebum and ceramide production, resulting in dryness, tightness, and increased barrier fragility
- Cell turnover, causing dullness, rough texture, and slower skin recovery
- Melanocyte regulation, contributing to uneven tone and pigmentation
- Microvascular circulation, which can reduce skin radiance and overall glow
Targeted skincare can help counteract these changes by restoring hydration, reinforcing the skin barrier, and supporting renewal, resulting in a more resilient and luminous complexion.
