What Happens to Skin During Perimenopause and Menopause

As hormone levels shift in midlife, many women begin noticing changes in their skin. These changes are completely normal, but they can affect how skin looks, feels, and responds to products.

Here are some of the most common changes:

✔ Dryness & Dehydration - Skin loses moisture as natural oil (sebum) production declines. Thinning Skin & Less Elasticity - Collagen and elastin levels drop, making skin feel more fragile.

✔ Thinning Skin & Less Elasticity - Collagen and elastin levels drop, making skin feel more fragile

✔ Fine Lines & Volume Loss - Reduced hydration can make lines and wrinkles more visible.

✔ Increased Sensitivity – A weakened barrier may trigger redness or irritation.

✔ Slower Healing - Circulation slows, and skin takes longer to recover.

✔ Pigmentation & Age Spots - Sun exposure may show up more as spots and uneven tone.

✔ Dullness - Slower skin cell turnover reduces glow and radiance.
