At different stages of life, our skin requires different care. The menopausal period is especially sensitive and calls for attention to the skin’s specific needs. Menopause is a physiological and transitional stage in a woman’s life, usually beginning between the ages of 45 and 55, and is characterized by the gradual decline in ovarian endocrine function. This process leads to a significant drop in sex hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen, which plays a crucial role in the female body, acts on many tissues, including the skin, through receptors. Its deficiency reduces the synthesis of proteins such as collagen and elastin, which determine skin firmness and elasticity. In addition, levels of hyaluronic acid, essential for skin hydration, also decline.
This hormonal imbalance, especially the sharp decrease in estrogen relative to androgens causes various skin problems: the skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic, wrinkles deepen, and age-related pigmentation spots appear. Androgenic breakouts (i.e., adult acne) are also common, caused by increased sebaceous gland activity and typically appearing along the jawline or chin. Menopause can also worsen or trigger rosacea symptoms, which present as persistent facial redness and dilated blood vessels, partially linked to "hot flashes" and increased vascular reactivity. Pigmentation issues such as melasma are also noteworthy and result from the interaction between hormonal changes and UV exposure.
Estrogen plays a key role in maintaining healthy, youthful skin. It promotes collagen and elastin production, helps retain hyaluronic acid levels, strengthens the skin’s barrier function, and regulates sebaceous gland activity. As estrogen levels decrease, the skin undergoes the following changes:
Dryness and dehydration: The skin loses its natural moisture, becomes rough, flakes, and may feel itchy.
Loss of elasticity and firmness: Due to reduced collagen and elastin, the skin loses structural support, leading to sagging, deepened wrinkles, and altered facial contours.
Pigmentation spots: Hormonal changes often lead to uneven melanin distribution, resulting in dark age spots or sun spots.
Increased sensitivity and redness: Due to a weakened skin barrier, the skin becomes more reactive to cosmetic products, weather changes, and other external factors.
