Menopause causes changes in estrogen and progesterone levels which can have unwanted effects not only internally but also on the skin. It is best to treat these concerns early on to help prevent them rather than try to correct them later on. Here are some of the common problems women encounter with their skin through menopause or perimenopause and why they occur.
- Dryness: The skin loses some of its ability to hold moisture.
- Wrinkles and loose skin: The skin loses approximately 30% of its collagen in the first 5 years of menopause and about 2% yearly for the next 20 years.
- Sensitive/irritated skin: The pH of the skin usually becomes more alkaline which weakens the skin’s natural barrier function.
- Sun spots: The cumulative effect of sun exposure through the years starts to become more obvious due to slowed cell turnover rate and increased melanin production.
