As women transition through menopause, the hormonal shifts can bring noticeable changes to their skin. From dryness to increased sensitivity, these changes can be frustrating but are entirely natural. Understanding what’s happening beneath the surface can help you take proactive steps to care for your skin during this phase of life. At Wellness MD, we offer comprehensive support to help you address these changes and maintain healthy, vibrant skin.
The Science Behind Skin Changes During Menopause
Estrogen, a key hormone that declines during menopause, plays a vital role in skin health. It’s responsible for:
Collagen Production: Collagen provides structure and elasticity to the skin, keeping it firm and youthful.
Hydration: Estrogen helps the skin retain moisture by promoting the production of natural oils and hyaluronic acid.
Wound Healing: It supports the skin’s ability to repair and regenerate.
As estrogen levels drop, you may notice:
Dryness and Itching
The skin loses its ability to retain moisture, leading to dryness and, in some cases, itching or irritation.
Thinning and Loss of Elasticity
With reduced collagen and elastin production, the skin becomes thinner and more prone to sagging and wrinkles.
Increased Sensitivity
Hormonal changes can make the skin more reactive to environmental irritants and skincare products.
Pigmentation Changes
Age spots or hyperpigmentation may become more noticeable, particularly in areas exposed to the sun.
Slower Wound Healing
Cuts, scratches, or blemishes may take longer to heal due to reduced skin regeneration.
