Skin problems during menopause: how to combat them with a targeted beauty routine

Menopause is a pivotal period in a woman's life, marked by hormonal changes that directly affect skin quality. Dryness, loss of elasticity, more pronounced wrinkles… all these signs compromise skin comfort and radiance. Fortunately, a suitable routine and targeted active ingredients can help maintain hydration, firmness, and radiance.

Discover how to protect and enhance your skin during menopause, particularly with our complete NU•RISH range.

Dry skin during menopause: the most common symptom

The drop in estrogen leads to a decrease in the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—molecules essential for skin hydration and elasticity. The result: tightness, rough skin, and visible fine lines.

Skincare tip: Opt for formulas rich in hyaluronic acid, plant oils, and ceramides. NU•RISH Smoothing Eye and Lip Contour Serum , enriched with papaya seed oil and hyaluronic acid, hydrates and smooths even the most delicate areas.

Loss of skin firmness during menopause

Collagen synthesis drops by approximately 30% during the first five years following menopause. This loss leads to sagging skin in the jawline and neck area.

Skincare tip: Incorporate powerful antioxidants like resveratrol, which stimulates collagen production. NU•RISH skincare products with resveratrol promote improved skin density and firmness.

Wrinkles become more visible during menopause

Lack of hydration and loss of volume accentuate expression lines, especially around the eyes and lips.

Pigmentation spots and dull complexion

Hormonal fluctuations disrupt melanocytes, promoting the appearance of brown spots and an uneven complexion.

Skincare tip: Use a daily sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, all year round. To restore radiance, pair it with NU•RISH Sorbet Body Lotion , rich in antioxidants.

Increased sensitivity and skin irritations

A weakened skin barrier reacts more easily to aggressions (temperatures, friction, irritating formulas). Redness, itching and discomfort become more frequent.

Skincare tip: Opt for gentle, fragrance-free formulas enriched with soothing agents. Quebec haskap berry, found in several NU•RISH products, is ideal for calming and strengthening sensitive skin.

Hormonal acne during menopause

Contrary to popular belief, acne can reappear during menopause. Hormonal imbalance promotes sebum production, clogs pores, and causes blemishes and inflammation.

Skincare tip: Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser, followed by light, moisturizing and antioxidant treatments, to regulate the skin while preserving its hydration.
