Menopause causes significant skin changes due to declining oestrogen levels, which reduce collagen production by up to 30% in the first five years. This leads to increased dryness, weakened barrier function, pigmentation changes, and loss of firmness. Supporting menopausal skin requires barrier-strengthening ingredients, targeted pigmentation management, and consistent hydration.
Menopausal dryness responds best to ingredients that address declining oestrogen’s effects: hyaluronic acid for moisture retention, ceramides to rebuild protective barriers, niacinamide to support lipid production, and squalane for non-comedogenic hydration. Clinical experience shows layering humectants with occlusives provides optimal relief.
Menopause triggers a 30% decline in skin collagen during the first five years post-menopause due to falling oestrogen levels. This hormonal shift affects skin thickness, elasticity, moisture retention, and wound healing, requiring adjusted skincare support.
