Menopausal Skin

Menopausal skin often exhibits a range of signs and symptoms, including:

1. Dryness and Dehydration: Declining estrogen levels during menopause can lead to reduced oil production and moisture retention in the skin, resulting in dryness and dehydration.
2. Loss of Elasticity: Collagen and elastin production diminish with age, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. Menopause accelerates this process, contributing to sagging and wrinkles.
3. Hyperpigmentation: Hormonal fluctuations during menopause can trigger increased melanin production, leading to the development of dark spots and uneven skin tone.
4. Thinning Skin: The gradual thinning of the epidermis and dermis can make the skin more prone to bruising, tearing, and sensitivity.

The primary cause of these changes is the decline in estrogen levels that occurs during menopause. Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and thickness. As its levels decrease, the skin's natural repair mechanisms become less efficient, resulting in visible signs of ageing.
