Menopause marks a new phase of life – physically, emotionally, and also for our skin. As hormone levels change, this transformation is often clearly reflected in the skin's appearance: dryness, tightness, fine lines, or sudden breakouts are not uncommon. But modern skincare can do a lot to counteract these changes and keep the skin balanced.
When hormones change the skin's appearance
As estrogen levels drop during menopause, cell regeneration slows down. The skin produces less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the substances that keep it plump, smooth, and elastic. As a result, it loses firmness, appearing thinner and drier. At the same time, sebum production can fluctuate: some women suddenly experience breakouts, while others complain of sensitive, irritated skin.
Furthermore, the skin barrier weakens, loses moisture more quickly, and becomes more sensitive to external stimuli. Redness, couperose, or rosacea may also appear for the first time during this period.
Targeted care for mature skin needs
The good news: A skincare routine tailored to menopause can specifically strengthen and regenerate the skin. Crucial is a combination of moisture, lipids, and regenerative active ingredients that stabilize the skin barrier and promote cell renewal.
Active ingredients that are particularly valuable right now:
-
Hyaluronic acid – binds moisture intensively and ensures plump, hydrated skin.
-
Peptides stimulate collagen production and support skin structure.
-
Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E protect against free radicals and promote luminosity.
-
Niacinamide – soothes sensitive skin and balances redness.
Peptides in menopause
Peptides are true key ingredients in menopausal skincare. They support the skin in producing more collagen and elastin – two essential building blocks for firmness and elasticity. At the same time, they promote skin cell regeneration , strengthen the skin's barrier function, and help it retain moisture more effectively. In this way, peptides specifically counteract the visible signs of hormonal skin aging and give the skin renewed vitality and resilience.
Beautiful inside and out
Skincare doesn't just begin on the surface of the skin. A balanced diet, sufficient sleep, exercise, and plenty of water are especially important now. During hormonal changes, the body needs additional support – through nutrient-rich foods, omega fatty acids, and mindful stress management.
This holistic balance is directly reflected in the complexion: vitality, radiance and elasticity return.
