Menopause is a time of significant changes in a woman's body, and these changes are not limited to hormones: the skin , especially the face, changes profoundly during this phase. In fact, menopausal skin can appear drier, lose elasticity, and present new spots and more pronounced wrinkles. However, with proper skincare and a selection of ideal products for menopause, it is possible to address these changes and maintain beautiful, glowing skin. In this article, we will explore the secrets of perfect skincare during menopause .

Declining hormone levels affect the skin's natural pH, its ability to retain water, and collagen production. This is why menopausal skin tends to become less hydrated, less firm, and less elastic.

This hormonal change also leads to a decrease in the production of sebum in the skin, which acts as a barrier to the epidermis. In fact, during menopause, women often suffer from itching, irritation, dermatitis , flaking and more sensitive skin.

In particular, the reduced production of estrogen slows down the skin's cell turnover , making it dull and less luminous, and reduces the production of melanin , increasing the risk of sunspots .

As we have seen, during menopause, there is a decrease in estrogen levels , the hormone that plays a key role in skin health . To address the challenges of menopause on the skin , it is necessary to understand what can be done to improve its appearance and radiance.

Cleansing your skin is always important, even during menopause, but since the skin is more sensitive and thin, it will be important to use a gentle cleansing that does not irritate the skin. Morning and evening, use a cleanser for sensitive skin that protects the skin barrier and avoid water that is too hot.

Skin and stress are closely linked. In fact, stress can affect skin renewal, leading to the appearance of new wrinkles, and blood microcirculation, resulting in less luminous skin. Being able to reduce stress can bring enormous benefits for both the skin and the person.
