SKIN CONCERNS

PERIMENOPAUSE

For up to 10 years before the menopause, oestrogen levels can drop which can impact the skin significantly. Symptoms include:

​

• Dryness

• Dull tone

• Rough texture

• Acne

• Rosacea

• Broken capillaries

• Redness

• Hair growth

• Loss of elasticity

• Increased fine lines and wrinkles

​

At a cellular level, oestrogen plays a key role in maintaining a healthy skin barrier. When this is compromised, it's difficult to retain moisture inside the skin and to keep bacteria out. The result can be dry, itchy, irritated skin which needs some specialist care to revive it.
