During perimenopause and menopause, declining and fluctuating oestrogen affects:
- Collagen production
- Skin thickness and elasticity
- Barrier function
- Hydration levels
- Sensitivity and inflammation
That’s why skin can suddenly feel dry, fragile, itchy, reactive or prone to breakouts.
This guide explains why those changes happen and how to support your skin based on what it actually needs during this life stage, not generic advice designed for younger skin.
Understanding leads to better decisions. Better decisions lead to better skin.
