Menopausal Skin: How to Care for Your Skin During Perimenopause and Beyond

Menopausal Skin: How to Care for Your Skin During Perimenopause and Beyond

The transition through perimenopause and menopause is a natural stage of life, but the skin often reflects the hormonal changes happening within the body. For many women, this time brings new or unexpected skin concerns — from dryness and dullness to sensitivity, redness, or even breakouts.

The reason? As oestrogen levels decline, skin can lose hydration, elasticity, and resilience. Oil production can fluctuate, leading to dryness in some and congestion in others. Skin barrier function often becomes more fragile, leaving some women prone to sensitivity and irritation.

The important thing to remember is that every woman’s skin responds differently — which is why there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The best way to navigate these changes is by seeking personalised advice from a professional Eve Taylor skin therapist. They can identify your unique skin challenges and recommend the right products and treatments to help you maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout this life stage.

Common Skin Changes During Menopause

1. Dry, Dull Skin

Hormonal shifts can slow down skin cell turnover and reduce natural oil production. This often leaves skin feeling tight, rough, or looking lacklustre.

Professional treatment recommendation: Cryogenic Facial – Our ultimate skin

firming and nourishing facial for maturing skin.

At-home support:

• Age Resist Resurfacing Cream Exfoliant – smooths texture and restores radiance.
• Rejuvenating Aromatic Serum – a lipid-rich blend designed to strengthen and nourish post-menopausal skin.
• Nourishing Serum – boosts hydration and restores suppleness.

2. Sensitive, Reactive Skin

Some women experience increased redness, flushing, or irritation during this stage. This is often linked to a weakened barrier function, making the skin more reactive to environmental stressors.

Professional treatment recommendation: Skin Rescue Facial – designed to strengthen the skin’s defences and calm irritation.

At-home support:

• Ultra Soothing Range – restores balance and comfort with oatmeal and no essentials oils.
• Microfine Exfoliant – enzyme-based exfoliation to gently smooth without abrasion.
• Hydrating Serum – floods the skin with moisture to restore calm and balance.

3. Breakout-Prone Skin

A surge or imbalance in hormones can trigger increased sebum production, leading to congestion and breakouts, even if acne hasn’t been an issue before.

Professional treatment recommendation: Clear & Clarify Facial – to deep-cleanse, rebalance, and refine the complexion.

At-home support:

• Purifying Range – targets oiliness and helps to clear skin.
• Clearing Aromatic Serum – balances oil while soothing breakout redness.
• Purifying Spot Gel – for targeted treatment of blemishes.
