3 Summer Skin Tips For Menopause

Women begin to experience menopause one year after their last period ends, and with it, they go through various changes in their skin and hair. 

While women are no strangers to regular hormonal changes and their impact on the skin, it's still a challenging experience.

In your mid-20s, you'll find that collagen production has started to slow down, which can lead to issues like fine lines, dry skin, dark spots, and melasma. Collagen diminishes even more as you near menopause, with hormone levels decreasing.

During this time, it's essential to understand the changes your body is experiencing so you can take care of it properly. These tips will help you keep your skin glowing in the summer sun and reduce the effects of menopause:

Apply A Good-Quality Sunscreen:

Dermatologists around the world agree that no matter how old you are, you should never skip sunscreen. However, sunscreen is even more essential during menopause when your skin starts to visibly display the sun’s impact.

You might find sun spots or discoloration on your skin as a result of sun damage, and these can be challenging to get rid of. 

Therefore, it's important to practice preventative measures such as applying a broad-spectrum sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher and UVA and UVB protection.

Cleanse Your Skin Thoroughly:

During your 20s, you may have adopted the habit of sleeping with your makeup on, but during menopause, your skin has already lost most of its ability to retain moisture, which means it's necessary to use a gentle moisturizing cleanser to take makeup off every day.

Moreover, regularly cleansing with a moisturizing or oil-based cleanser may help retain hydration and smoothness. Choose a product that works for your skin type and has glycerin in the ingredients list since this helps with water retention.

Invest In Products With Hyaluronic Acid:

Women experience dehydrated skin during menopause, which can lead to itchiness and breakouts. Moreover, the dryness may even cause wrinkles to develop in the skin. Using products formulated with hyaluronic acid can prevent this.

Choose moisturizers or serums that contain hyaluronic acid, and apply them twice a day for best results.

If you still have a few years before menopause kicks in, there's no time like now to start taking preventative care of your hair and skin. You can also incorporate these tips into your daily skincare routine if menopause has already started for you.

It may also be helpful to speak to a dermatologist who understands the hormonal changes women experience during menopause
