Perimenopause & Your Skin: What Really Changes
If your skin feels completely different lately, you’re not imagining it. Perimenopause brings changes that affect how your skin looks, feels, and reacts.
What’s Happening
-
Estrogen drops: Less collagen and hydration = thinner, drier skin.
-
Progesterone declines: More breakouts and inflammation.
-
Cortisol rises: More redness and sensitivity.
-
Oil production changes: Some women get dryness, others experience midlife acne.
Why This Matters
Your skin needs different care in this season. What worked in your 30s might not work now. Supporting hormone and gut health is key to glowing through perimenopause - not fighting it.
What You Can Do
✨ Switch to more hydrating products.
✨ Prioritize protein and omega-3s to build collagen.
✨ Stay consistent with sleep and stress management.
✨ Focus on internal balance—your skin will reflect it.
Key Takeaway
Perimenopause is a shift, not a setback. With the right nourishment inside and out, your skin can thrive through every stage.
