Menopause is a natural part of life, but the changes it brings can feel anything but natural to your skin. From dryness and sensitivity to dullness and loss of elasticity, these shifts are driven by hormonal fluctuations, particularly the drop in estrogen. However, the right skincare routine and treatments can help you maintain healthy, glowing skin through this transformative phase.
Understanding Menopause and Skin Changes
During menopause, decreased estrogen levels lead to:
• Thinner skin: Collagen production slows, making the skin less firm.
• Increased dryness: Reduced sebum production can leave skin feeling tight and dehydrated.
• Sensitivity and redness: Skin barrier function may weaken, causing increased irritation.
• Pigmentation issues: Hormonal changes can trigger uneven skin tone and age spots.
These changes don’t have to feel overwhelming. With tailored treatments and medical-grade skincare, you can nurture your skin and feel confident in your complexion.
Skincare Solutions for Menopausal Skin
1. Medical-Grade Skincare
We recommend Obagi’s range of transformative skincare products to address concerns like hydration, pigmentation, and texture. For menopausal skin, consider:
• Obagi Hydrate Luxe: This ultra-moisturizing cream replenishes lost hydration, keeping skin supple and radiant.
• Obagi Nu-Derm System: Targets pigmentation and dullness for a brighter, more even skin tone.
• Obagi Retinol: Promotes cellular turnover and reduces fine lines while supporting collagen production.
2. Regenerative Treatments
• Microneedling
This minimally invasive treatment boosts collagen and elastin, helping to restore firmness and smooth texture. It also enhances the absorption of active ingredients from serums, making your skin care routine even more effective.
• ProFacial Treatments
ProFacial is an advanced multi-step facial designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse skin with hydration and antioxidants. This treatment is perfect for menopausal skin, as it revives dullness and strengthens the skin barrier.
3. Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Skin
• Stay hydrated to combat dryness.
• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect against sun damage and pigmentation.
• Incorporate omega-3 fatty acids into your diet to support skin health.
• Prioritise sleep and stress management to minimize inflammation and promote repair.
