Caring for your Skin in Menopause

What is menopause


Menopause is defined as the point in time when menstrual cycles permanently end due to the natural
reduction of ovarian oocytes from aging.It marks the permanent end of fertility and the average age of
menopause is 51 years.




How Does Menopause Affect Your Skin?


Low levels of estrogen and progesterone during menopause affect the skin in various ways.


1. A decrease in collagen production
Estrogen stimulates maturation, collagen production, and turnover, so when estrogen levels fall,
there’s a direct effect on collagen.

2. Decreased fat under the skin


Normal levels of estrogen promote the storage of fat under the skin, so lowered estrogen levels mean
less fat will be stored there.


3. Decreased hydration


Estrogen also promotes hyaluronic acid production, and hyaluronic acid helps to increase the
water content of the epidermis and dermis layers.


4. Increased pigmentation


Pigment or Melanin, production in the skin is a complex process that’s regulated by hormones.


The fluctuation of hormone levels, as well as the changing balance between progestin and estrogen,
disturbs the usual melanin regulation and dark spots of excess melanin can result.
