Skincare During Menopause
During menopause, many women experience physical symptoms such as hot flashes or sleep disturbances. The skin also undergoes significant changes due to the shifts in the body’s conditions. Learn here how to best meet the needs of your skin during menopause.
Common skin issues during menopause include dry skin, thinning skin, reduced oil production, disrupted microcirculation, and a gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers. These problems can be addressed through a balanced lifestyle, good nutrition, and proper skincare.
Tips for Optimal Skincare During Menopause:
- Wash your face with a mild cleansing product and tone it afterward.
- Exfoliate your skin daily to clean pores, boost cell renewal, and improve moisture absorption.
- Use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or other effective hydrating ingredients twice a day.
- Add serums or creams containing retinol, vitamin C, vitamin A, or fruit acids to combat skin aging.
- Sunscreen is crucial to protect your skin from further thinning and damage.
- Don’t forget to care for the skin on your neck and décolleté – these areas also thin and require plenty of hydration.
Special Challenges Due to Hormonal Changes
During menopause, the sebum production can become imbalanced, leading to oily skin and blemishes. Thorough cleansing with a cleanser and toner is essential. Look for products with antibacterial ingredients such as microsilver or sea salt.
A low-sugar, antioxidant-rich, and low-fat diet can also help improve your skin’s appearance.
