Why can the skin become dry during menopause?
During menopause, a woman's fertility phase comes to an end. The female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone continuously decline during menopause. With the drop in hormones, the ovaries produce fewer eggs. Menopause marks the end of the menopausal transition. Essentially, menopause is limited to a single day: the day of the last menstrual period. However, this can only be determined 12 months later.
The time before this is also referred to as perimenopause or premenopause. After that, postmenopause begins. For most women, menopause starts in their forties, but it can also happen much earlier. The last period and thus postmenopause typically occurs from the age of 51 onwards.
The drop in estrogen levels affects the entire body. The changes that accompany this are very individual. Sleep problems, hot flashes, mood swings, hair loss, or dry eyes can be symptoms of menopause. Skin and mucous membranes are also affected by these hormonal changes.
How does the skin change during menopause?
With the increasing loss of estrogen, the production of collagen and elastin decreases during menopause.
- This makes the skin thinner.
- Additionally, itchy skin and blemished skin may occur.
- Menopausal skin can retain less moisture and is more sensitive to UV radiation.
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation spots develop, and the skin can appear dry and saggy.
Why does menopause require intensive care?
During menopause, the ability to form new skin cells slows down. Dead skin cells tend to accumulate on the surface. The complexion appears duller. Additionally, as we age, free radicals can be less effectively neutralized.
These free radicals damage the (skin) cells and contribute to premature skin aging. The antidote to this is antioxidants. These substances help you protect your skin from oxidative stress. To look fresh and youthful for as long as possible, your skin now needs your support.
A balanced diet with vegetables, nuts, high-quality plant oils, and fruits can support the changes in the skin from the inside. A skincare routine tailored to your needs pampers your skin from the outside.
