Skin?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Menopause is a true milestone: it brings many changes, but it\u2019s also an opportunity to reset and focus on our own health and wellbeing.\u00a0With World Menopause Day landing on the 18th of October, we&#8217;re sharing everything you need to know about this new phase of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what actually happens to your skin during the menopause, and how can you adapt your skincare routine? We spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dr Ben Esdaile, Consultant Dermatologist at Skin + Me<\/a>, to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What impact does menopause have on my skin? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Menopause can have a significant impact on your skin, and it\u2019s mainly down to the role of oestrogen. Oestrogen production drops after the menopause, and as oestrogen receptors are actually found in the skin, these changes are often reflected there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel like you\u2019re reaching for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/full-routine-launch-skin-and-me-cleanser-and-moisturiser\/\">moisturiser <\/a>more often then that\u2019s to be expected. \u201cAfter menopause, in oestrogen deficient skin, there is a decrease in oil production\u201d explains Dr Ben. \u201cSome people may see a complete transition from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/oily-skin-101-oily-skin-causes-symptoms-and-treatment\/\">oily skin<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/dry-skin-101-dry-skin-causes-symptoms-and-treatment\/\">dry<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collagen and elastin production is also affected by a drop in oestrogen \u2013 in fact, \u201cstudies have shown a 30% reduction in collagen in the skin in the first five years of menopause,\u201d says Dr Ben. These proteins are the building blocks of your skin, and are intrinsically linked to skin elasticity, firmness and healing. A drop in collagen and elastin can result in accelerated skin thinning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skin-ageing-101\/\">fine lines and wrinkles<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the plus side, the impact on our skin associated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/why-does-my-skin-change-with-my-menstrual-cycle\/\">menstrual cycle<\/a> should calm down. Many women also find that hormonal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/the-skin-and-me-guide-to-acne\/\">acne <\/a>ceases or improves upon reaching menopause, although hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which is a common treatment during menopause, can also trigger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/the-skin-and-me-guide-to-acne\/\">acne <\/a>in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f7f3ed\"><strong>New to Skin + Me?\u00a0<\/strong>Get your first month of personalised skincare for \u00a34.99 with promo code DOSE \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/create-account\">complete our quick consultation here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How should I change my skincare during the menopause?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your skin might undergo several changes during menopause, but the good news is that a strong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/how-to-build-a-skincare-routine\/\">skincare routine<\/a> can make a huge difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your skin is feeling dryer than before, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\">ultra-hydrating moisturiser<\/a> is a good investment. Moisturisers containing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-shea-butter\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5378\">shea butter<\/a> can be beneficial to help restore the skin barrier, like the Rich edition of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\">Skin + Me Soothe + Smooth Moisturiser<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/full-routine-launch-skin-and-me-cleanser-and-moisturiser\/\">Soothe + Smooth Moisturisers<\/a> also contain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-hyaluronic-acid\/\">hyaluronic acid<\/a>, another superstar hydrator. \u201cHyaluronic acid is a good moisturising ingredient to look out for in your skincare as it functions as a humectant. drawing in water from the environment and the deeper layers of your skin,\u201d explains Dr Ben.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also several active ingredients which can help support changing skin during the menopause. The loss of collagen during the menopause contributes to increased appearance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skin-ageing-101\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3061\">fine lines<\/a>, so boosting collagen production will be your number one priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you weren\u2019t using them already, now is a good time to introduce retinoids. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-the-difference-between-retinol-and-retinoids\/\">Retinoids<\/a>, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/active-ingredients-whats-better-than-retinol\/\">retinol <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/tretinoin-101\/\">tretinoin<\/a>, are derived from vitamin A and are the gold-standard topical treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. They accelerate skin cell turnover and increase collagen production, so they should be an essential part of your menopausal skin routine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-niacinamide\/\">Niacinamide <\/a>is also a fantastic active ingredient for menopausal skin \u2013 it\u2019s an antioxidant that boosts collagen and ceramide production while reducing inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to use active ingredients cautiously in menopausal skin, as increased dryness and thinning means the skin can be more prone to side effects and irritation. We\u2019d recommend that you go slowly, don\u2019t overdo it, and increase the potency gradually, to build up tolerance. Every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/daily-doser-spotlight-2\/\">Skin + Me Daily Doser<\/a> is packed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/what-are-active-ingredients-in-skincare\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5284\">active ingredients<\/a> and tailored to your specific needs \u2013 it also changes over time as your skin adapts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All skin needs to be protected from the effects of the sun, but it\u2019s extra important to protect menopausal skin, and <em>even more<\/em> important if you\u2019re using active ingredients. \u201cUVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and cause damage to the scaffolding proteins that hold the skin firm,\u201d says Dr Ben. \u201cDamage to the scaffolding results in the wrinkles and skin creases seen in sun damage, also known as photoageing.\u201d We also recommend that your sunscreen has broad-spectrum coverage against UVA rays to protect against this damage \u2013 our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/how-we-made-daily-defence-oil-free-spf-50-sunscreen\/\">Daily Defence Oil-free SPF 50 Sunscreen<\/a> ticks all these boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final thoughts&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Menopause can be challenging, but with the right care and attention you can keep your skin hydrated and glowy.
