How menopause can affect your skin. During the menopause, you may notice some changes in your skin, such as dryness, thinning and increased sensitivity. This is largely due to the decrease in oestrogen in your body, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. ”Dry skin is a common concern during menopause, as the skin's ability to retain moisture diminishes," explains Ali Hedley, Clinical Engagement Manager at Epaderm. Here are her top tips for keeping your skin feeling hydrated and healthy during menopause: Avoid harsh soaps. When washing your face, try to use gentle products that don't strip your skin of moisture. Moisturise. Moisturising is one of the most important steps in your skincare routine, especially if you are going through menopause. Healthy habits. Try to stick to your healthy habits, such as drinking water and eating well. Use a humidifier. Humidifiers can help when your skin feels dry. She concludes: "Through hydration, nourishment, and overall skin health, women going through menopause can effectively manage dry skin and promote a radiant complexion during this transitional phase of life.”
