The “Estrogen Drop” and Your Skin
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels plummet. Since estrogen is responsible for collagen production and moisture retention, its loss leads to “the big three”:
Sudden Dryness: The skin stops producing its own natural oils (lipids).
Loss of Density: The dermis thins, leading to “crepey” texture and sagging.
Hormonal Sensitivity: Skin that was never sensitive before suddenly reacts to everything.
The Resilience Strategy
We don’t just “moisturize” hormonal skin; we rebuild its resilience.
Phyto-Actives: Using plant-based ingredients that mimic the skin-plumping effects of estrogen without the systemic hormonal impact.
Bakuchiol: To stimulate collagen without the “Retinol burn” that sensitive menopausal skin cannot handle.
Ceramide Stacking: Hormonal skin is “leaky.” We stack three types of Ceramides to create an artificial barrier while your skin works to repair its own.
FAQ: Hormonal Skin & Menopause Beauty
Q: Why did I suddenly get acne at 45? A: This is “Hormonal Adult Acne.” As estrogen drops, your testosterone levels become more dominant, which can trigger oil production and deep, cystic breakouts along the jawline.
Q: What is the best moisturizer for menopausal skin? A: You need a Rich Lipid Cream that contains both Ceramides and Squalane. Avoid “water-only” moisturizers, as they will evaporate too quickly from thinning skin.
Q: Can I use anti-aging products if my skin has become super sensitive? A: Yes, but you must switch to Allergen-Aware and Fragrance-Free anti-aging. Look for Peptides and Bakuchiol instead of harsh acids or high-strength retinoids.
Q: How do I treat “Crepey” skin on my neck? A: The neck has fewer oil glands than the face. Use a dedicated Firming Peptide Serum followed by a thick barrier cream twice a day to improve the appearance of skin “elasticity.”
