Our Guide to Caring for your Skin During (and After) Menopause
Don't let menopause take a toll on your skin. Our comprehensive menopausal skincare guide provides everything you need to know to age fearlessly.
As women age and go through menopause, their skin undergoes changes that can be frustrating and difficult to manage. At essano, we advocate ageing fearlessly but changes such as dryness, wrinkles, age spots, and thinning not only affect the skin. They can shake a woman's self-confidence and challenge the concept of pro-ageing. But with the right skincare routine, you can age fearlessly and keep your skin healthy and radiant. In this guide, we'll provide everything you need to know about caring for your skin during (and after) menopause.
Understand the Changes in Your Skin During Menopause
Menopause is a natural process when a woman's reproductive system stops producing eggs. As a result, the body experiences a decrease in estrogen levels, and with it, a decrease in collagen production. This can cause changes to the appearance of the skin including:
- Loss of elasticity
- Thinning
- Sagging
- Wrinkles
- Dehydration
- Large pores
- Redness
- Adult acne
- Uneven skin tone
- Dullness
Understanding these changes is the first step in developing a skincare routine to help you maintain healthy, radiant skin during and after menopause.
