Skin can become drier and more sensitive during menopause. Learn how to adapt cleansing, moisturising and sun protection for everyday skin comfort.
Skincare During Perimenopause and Menopause
During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can affect the skin’s moisture levels, elasticity and sensitivity. Many women notice increased dryness, slower skin renewal and more visible fine lines. At this stage of life, the skin often benefits from a gentler, more lipid-rich and consistent skincare routine.
How Can Your Skin Change During Menopause?
As oestrogen levels decline, the skin’s ability to retain moisture may decrease, while collagen levels can also change. However, everyone’s experience is different. Some women develop drier skin, while others may continue to experience breakouts or notice increased sensitivity.
Rather than focusing on age alone, it is helpful to adapt your skincare routine to your skin’s current condition and needs.
Gentle Cleansing and Regular Moisturising
Choose a gentle cleanser that does not leave your skin feeling tight or uncomfortable after washing. Apply a moisturising face cream in the morning and evening, remembering to include your neck in your skincare routine.
A moisturising formula can include a combination of humectants and emollient lipids. Vegan collagen, aloe vera, squalane and plant oils can help maintain skin comfort, support moisture retention and leave the skin surface feeling smoother.
Introduce Active Skincare Ingredients Gradually
If you want to use retinoids or exfoliating acids, start slowly and avoid introducing several new products at the same time. This makes it easier to understand how your skin responds to each product.
If irritation develops, reduce the frequency of use and focus on gentle skincare that supports hydration and skin barrier comfort.
Sun Protection and Lifestyle
Using a broad-spectrum SPF helps protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation and reduce the development of visible signs of premature skin ageing caused by sun exposure.
Skin condition and comfort can also be influenced by sleep, avoiding smoking, a balanced diet and your overall health.
MARUSHA Vege Collagen Face Cream can be used as a daily moisturiser for dry and mature skin. During the day, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF.
