FAQs
01 What happens to skin during menopause?
Fibroblasts help to produce collagen and elastin fibres within the skin that work to maintain skin health. However, over time and during menopause the production of these fibres diminishes which is what causes the loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin. Which for us shows in the form of fine lines and wrinkles.
We studied how this reduced hormonal activity affected fibroblasts when it came to maintaining fibre tension. This research showed that they lost 99.6% of their tension strength when compared to ‘young’ fibroblasts. All this means is that you can reduce this decline by ensuring your skin is receiving collagen through specialist anti-ageing skincare to keep it firm over time.
02 How can I address hormonal changes in my skin during menopause?
As your hormones change, you’ll likely notice it also impacts your skin, drying it and potentially leading to irritation and spots. Here’s what you can do to tackle this:
- Use a hydrating, mild cleanser on your face instead of soap, as soap is often very drying. Our Velvet Cleansing Milk is perfect for a morning cleanse whilst our Total Cleansing Oil is hydrating and effective in removing makeup and SPF.
- Follow with our Super Restorative Smoothing Treatment Essence to increase hydration, boost radiance and prep skin for your moisturiser. We recommend applying to damp skin for added moisture.
- Follow up with one of our Super Restorative moisturisers.
- In the daytime, our SPF 15 formula is perfect for added sun protection in the daytime. If you prefer to layer over your own facial SPF, our Super Restorative day creams are available in formulas for all skin types and very dry skin.
- In the evening, opt for our night cream formulas available for all skin types and very dry skin too.
03 Is it safe to use retinol during menopause?
Yes. In fact, it is beneficial to use retinol as it has anti-ageing properties while it helps to improve skin quality and texture. Retinol skincare infuses the skin with Vitamin A and can help women at all stages of the menopausal process. At Clarins, we use a natural retinol alternative from Harungana leaves which works 40% better than retinol revealing brighter skin with reduced hyperpigmentation.
04 Is there any way to help reduce the appearance of age spots during menopause?
Age spots are a part of the ageing process and can be more prevalent during menopause but you can reduce their appearance and prevent more from forming by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen using factor 30 or above will give the best protection and through continued use should reduce the appearance of age spots while preventing new ones forming.
05 What does a menopause face look like?
When going through menopause oestrogen can fluctuate which changes our skin, this often leads to dry skin, dark spots, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, acne and extra facial hair. It is also known to make your skin more sensitive overall. However, none of these things are to be feared as they can all be treated to help you feel back to your best self.
06 What are the ingredients in menopausal skincare?
To achieve healthy glowing skin during menopause you’ll want to use products that contain.
- Retinol or our plant-based alternative, organic Harungana which works just effectively as retinol, while naturally occuring in Harungana leaves it can work to prevent ageing as a natural alternative.
- Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides
- Vitamin C
These are some key ingredients to look for when purchasing skincare during menopause as they help to promote healthy, smooth and glowing skin. Shop our entire Super Restorative range now
