It is estimated that almost half of women experience skin issues during menopause. Reduced production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and increased production of cortisol during this period are responsible for the inevitable skin changes that women face.

Some things we might notice:

  • Dryness and Itching
  • Delicate skin
  • Acne
  • Flushing
  • Facial hair
  • Melasma

    I get that someones too, I think it’s just more to do with the thinning of our skin, and losing that elasticity, so the simplest of things can cause big indents and ridges, and takes forever for the skin to bounce back. I often wear hats outside, and even though they are loose on my head, I always get deep ridges in my forehead of where the band rested. So annoying because it can take hours before the pattern goes away.
