Why Menopause Changes Your Skin – and How to Care for It Naturally – FWBEAUTY

The Menopause-Skin Connection

Menopause typically occurs between ages 45–55, marking the end of your menstrual cycles. This transition triggers a sharp drop in oestrogen and progesterone, two hormones that help maintain skin’s structure, hydration, and elasticity.

When these levels decline, skin changes can happen quickly:

Dryness & Dehydration – Lower oestrogen means reduced oil production, making skin feel tight and dull.
Loss of Elasticity & Firmness – Collagen production drops by as much as 30% in the first five years of menopause.
Thinner, More Fragile Skin – Reduced cell turnover leads to increased sensitivity.
Increased Pigmentation – Dark spots and uneven tone become more noticeable.
Slower Healing – Wounds and irritation take longer to recover.

Why These Changes Happen

1. Less Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid
Oestrogen stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid production. With less of both, skin loses plumpness and bounce.

2. Weaker Barrier Function
Lower lipid production leaves skin prone to dryness and irritation.

3. Greater UV Sensitivity
Skin becomes more vulnerable to sun damage, accelerating signs of ageing.

How to Care for Menopausal Skin Naturally

1. Focus on Barrier Repair

Restoring lipids and hydration is key. FWBEAUTY’s Face Ghee Barrier Repair Balm seals in moisture with saffron and nourishing butters.

2. Boost Collagen Support

Incorporate peptide-rich serums like Skin Memory Timeless Skin Nectar, which helps firm and smooth skin.

3. Brighten and Protect

Tackle pigmentation with Saffron Gold Brightening Serum, rich in antioxidant saffron and alpha arbutin.

4. Gentle Cleansing

Avoid stripping cleansers. Our Saffron Brightening Cleansing Balm melts away impurities while nourishing the skin.

5. SPF Daily – No Exceptions

Menopausal skin is more sun-sensitive. Daily sunscreen is non-negotiable.
