Menopause brings many physical changes, with skin among the most affected. As hormone levels decline, skin can become drier, less elastic, and more prone to irritation and fine lines. Here’s how to adapt your skincare to meet these evolving needs, including some ideal product choices from our line to support mature, glowing skin.
1. Hydrate Deeply for Lasting Comfort and Firmness
One of the most common concerns during and after menopause is dry skin, as lower estrogen levels reduce the skin’s natural oil production. To combat dryness, hydrating products with rich, nourishing ingredients are essential.
Skinfood Extra Riche is formulated specifically to help mature skin maintain its moisture levels and elasticity. This luxurious cream contains edelweiss, a powerful antioxidant that protects and reinforces the skin’s barrier, helping it retain hydration. This botanical blend also works to smooth and firm the skin, promoting a plump, youthful appearance that can be a confidence boost as your skin adapts.
2. Address Sensitivity and Irritation
Menopause often makes skin more sensitive and reactive, which means being selective with products is crucial. Avoiding overly harsh or drying products—especially alcohol-based toners—is a good step. Instead, opt for gentle, soothing options that cleanse and prep your skin without causing inflammation.
Peau de Fleurs Cleansing Mousse is an ideal choice for menopausal and post-menopausal skin. This cleanser is gentle yet effective, thanks to allantoin, derived from the comfrey plant, which soothes and softens skin. It also contains tamarind seed extract to provide additional hydration as it cleanses, helping prevent that tight, uncomfortable feeling after washing.
3. Support Skin Structure with Anti-Aging Ingredients
During and after menopause, collagen and elastin production decreases, making the skin appear looser and leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Look for products that contain ingredients like amino acids, anti-inflammatories, and antioxidants to support the skin’s structure.
Renaissance Pro Age Cream doubles as a deeply hydrating moisturizer and a pro-aging powerhouse, with botanicals like edelweiss to provide antioxidants and support firmness. Consistent use can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and sagging by promoting elasticity and skin strength.
4. Choose Foundation That Nourishes and Evens Skin Tone
During menopause, hormonal changes can also lead to changes in pigmentation, making dark spots and uneven skin tone more noticeable. Selecting a foundation that provides smooth, buildable coverage while also nourishing your skin can be a game-changer for your daily routine.
Our Bio-Fond Cream Foundation is an ideal option, offering lightweight, natural coverage with nourishing ingredients like sunflower oil, which helps maintain hydration and softness. This foundation also contains titanium dioxide, providing gentle sun protection—a crucial step, as mature skin can be more vulnerable to UV damage and hyperpigmentation. Bio-Fond creates a natural, flawless look that feels like skincare and makeup in one, suitable for sensitive and changing skin.
5. Incorporate Soothing Masks for Extra Care
To treat and replenish your skin, try incorporating a gentle mask into your routine 2-3 times a week. Masking can be an effective way to target specific concerns like dullness, dryness, and sensitivity.
The Renaissance Detox Mask is perfect for menopausal skin that could benefit from a detox and nourishment boost. This mask features charcoal to purify, ginkgo to support skin tone and texture, and avocado oil to moisturize deeply. Using it regularly can help keep your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
While menopause can bring about many changes, adjusting your skincare routine can help you feel confident and comfortable in your skin at every stage. Embrace products tailored to address your skin’s evolving needs, and remember that this period of transition is an opportunity to practice self-care and compassion. With our nourishing, botanically rich formulas, your skincare can support you in feeling radiant and resilient, no matter your age.
