THE SECRETS OF SKIN CHANGES DURING PERIMENOPAUSE

Skin Changes During Perimenopause.

Welcome to Moreton Aesthetics at Stanley House Hotel & Spa, where science meets luxury to rejuvenate your skin. Let’s guide you through the intricate world of perimenopausal skin changes and how to combat them effectively.

DRYNESS. REDNESS. ITCHING.

Understanding the Phenomenon: Why Does the Skin Change During Perimenopause?

Perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause, brings about a whirlwind of hormonal fluctuations in a woman's body. This hormonal rollercoaster impacts various bodily functions, including the skin. Oestrogen, the hormone responsible for maintaining skin elasticity, hydration, and collagen production, begins to decline during perimenopause. As a result, the skin's natural moisture barrier weakens, leading to dryness, flakiness, and a loss of firmness.

What Happens to the Skin in Perimenopause?

During perimenopause, the skin undergoes a myriad of changes that can leave even the most diligent skincare enthusiasts feeling perplexed. Apart from dryness, other common issues include:

1. Irritated Skin: Hormonal imbalances can trigger inflammation, causing the skin to become red, itchy, and sensitive. This condition, often referred to as irritated skin, can make skincare routines feel like a daunting chore.

2. Loss of Elasticity: Collagen and elastin, the building blocks of youthful skin, start to decline, leading to sagging and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. The once-plump cheeks may begin to appear hollow, and the jawline less defined.

3. Increased Sensitivity: Perimenopausal skin tends to become more reactive to external aggressors such as harsh weather conditions, pollution, and certain skincare ingredients. This heightened sensitivity can exacerbate existing skin issues and make it challenging to find suitable skincare products.

Combatting Perimenopausal Skin Changes: What Can Be Done?

While perimenopausal skin changes may seem inevitable, there are proactive steps you can take to maintain a radiant complexion:

1. Hydration is Key: Invest in hydrating skincare products enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to replenish moisture levels and strengthen the skin's barrier function.

2. Gentle Skincare Regime: Opt for mild, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturisers to soothe irritated skin without causing further inflammation. Avoid harsh exfoliants and opt for gentle chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs to promote cell turnover.

3. Sun Protection: Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Look for broad-spectrum SPF formulations with a minimum SPF of 50 to prevent premature aging and protect against skin cancer.

4. Nutrition and Supplements: Support your skin from within by consuming a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids. Consider incorporating supplements like collagen peptides and evening primrose oil to boost skin elasticity and hydration. An NAD+ supplement combats against cellular ageing.
