Menopause and perimenopause are significant stages in a woman's life that bring about a variety of physical and emotional changes, including those affecting the skin.
Understanding how hormonal shifts during this time can influence skin health—and how to adjust your skincare routine accordingly—can help you maintain a radiant and healthy complexion. As a salon located in Hilton, NY (just 20-25min west of Rochester, NY), we’re here to guide you through these changes and offer expert facial treatments tailored to your skin's unique needs during menopause and perimenopause.
What Happens to Skin During Perimenopause and Menopause?
Perimenopause is the transition period leading up to menopause, often beginning in a woman’s 40s, though it can start earlier. This phase can last several years, during which estrogen levels fluctuate. As estrogen declines, it affects the skin's natural collagen production and moisture retention, leading to symptoms like dryness, increased sensitivity, and loss of elasticity.
Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring in a woman's 50s. During menopause, estrogen levels drop more dramatically, leading to a loss of collagen, thinning skin, and more pronounced fine lines and wrinkles. Skin may also become more prone to redness and irritation, and some women may experience hormonal acne.
The good news is that, with the right skincare routine and professional treatments, it's possible to address these changes and maintain a healthy, youthful glow.
Key Ingredients for Menopausal and Perimenopausal Skin
To help your skin adapt to hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, look for skincare products with ingredients that focus on hydration, firming, and calming. Here are some key ingredients to keep in mind:
Hyaluronic Acid
Benefit: Known for its ability to attract and retain moisture, hyaluronic acid helps to combat the dryness often associated with menopause. It plumps the skin, making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.
We Recommend: Ageless Hydrating Serum
Peptides
Benefit: Peptides are short chains of amino acids that stimulate collagen production. They help to restore firmness and elasticity, which can diminish as estrogen levels decline.
We Recommend: Vitamin C Green Tea Serum , Peptide Eye Serum, and Peptide Restoration Moisturizer
Retinol (Vitamin A)
Benefit: Retinol is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that promotes cell turnover, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and helps with uneven skin tone. It can be especially beneficial for addressing hormonal acne.
We recommend: Retinol Exfoliating Mask, and Advanced Renewal Serum
Ceramides
Benefit: Ceramides are lipids that help to maintain the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against external irritants. They are excellent for replenishing dry, menopausal skin.
We Recommend: Any of our moisturizers.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Benefit: This ingredient is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe sensitivity and redness. Niacinamide also helps to strengthen the skin's barrier and improve overall texture.
We Recommend: Advanced Renewal Serum
Vitamin C
Benefit: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin, evens out hyperpigmentation, and helps to boost collagen production. It's ideal for counteracting the dullness that can occur during menopause.
We Recommend: Vitamin C Green Tea Serum, Citrus C Nourishing Cream
