Menopause triggers significant changes in skin health due to hormonal fluctuations, resulting in issues like dryness, dullness, inflammation, and breakouts. As oestrogen levels decline, the skin experiences a reduction in collagen production and decreased moisture retention, leading to increased dryness and thinning. Simultaneously, hormonal imbalances can result in heightened oil production and sensitivity, exacerbating conditions such as acne and rosacea.
At Goodwood Health & Wellbeing Rooms, we embrace the beauty of ageing and specialise in personalised facials designed with Elemental Herbology to address the specific needs of your skin during menopause.
Our treatments focus on soothing inflammation, calming redness, hydrating dryness, and balancing oiliness, helping to rejuvenate your skin’s natural vitality. Our skilled therapists are adept at crafting experiences that not only treat your skin but also promote overall wellbeing. We recognise that menopause is a holistic experience, affecting more than just the skin. Thus, we ensure a comfortable environment to alleviate symptoms like hot flushes, making your visit as relaxing and restorative as possible.
Read more about what happens to your skin during menopause and how you can incorporate daily skincare routines to help soothe symptoms related to menopause.
Understanding skin changes during menopause
Menopause brings a significant shift in hormone levels. The reduction in oestrogen, a key hormone for skin health, leads to several notable changes:
Creating a skincare routine for menopausal skin
Adapting your skincare routine during menopause is essential to address these changes and maintain healthy, vibrant skin. Read these tips to incorporate into your daily routine:
Gentle cleansing: Use a mild, non-foaming cleanser to avoid stripping the skin of its natural oils. Look for ingredients like glycerine and ceramides that help maintain the skin barrier.
Hydration and moisturising: Hydrate with hyaluronic acid serums, which attract moisture to the skin and follow with a rich, emollient moisturiser containing ingredients like shea butter, niacinamide, and peptides. These help in repairing the skin barrier and retaining moisture.
Sun protection: It’s an obvious one, but it's vital to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Sun protection is crucial as the skin becomes more susceptible to sun damage, which can exacerbate pigmentation issues and accelerate ageing.
Targeted treatments: Incorporate retinoids or retinol to promote collagen production and enhance cell turnover. Start with a low concentration to minimise irritation and gradually increase as tolerated. Additionally, antioxidants like vitamin C can help combat oxidative stress and brighten the skin.
Regular exfoliation: Use gentle chemical exfoliants, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. However, it’s important to be cautious and avoid over-exfoliating, as menopausal skin can be more sensitive.
Addressing specific concerns: For issues like increased oiliness or acne, consider ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide, which help regulate sebum production and reduce inflammation.
Beyond skincare, embracing a holistic approach to wellbeing can significantly improve your skin health and overall quality of life during menopause. This includes:
Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and phytoestrogens can support skin health from the inside out.
Stress management: Practices such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness can help manage stress, which is known to exacerbate skin issues.
A good night’s sleep: Prioritise quality sleep, as it is crucial for skin repair and overall health.
At Goodwood Health & Wellbeing Rooms, our goal is to provide a comprehensive experience that respects and addresses the unique needs of menopausal women.
By combining expert skincare with a nurturing environment, we strive to help you embrace this life stage with confidence.
