Facial Skin in Menopause: Tips and Anti-Aging Treatments

Menopause is not a switch that suddenly turns on, but a true journey, a process. It is indeed a phase of profound biological and personal transition that every woman experiences uniquely. While the body searches for a new balance, one of the organs that most clearly reflects the change is undoubtedly the skin. Just look in the mirror and you’ll notice that the face changes in a short time.

Skin after 50 years begins to feel tight, appear less firm, the complexion dulls, and the creams we have loved and used for years suddenly seem to no longer work as they should. It’s not just an impression: it’s biology.

In this natural transformation phase that we all go through, the skin is not an enemy to fight, but a need to understand and support. At LeLang Skincare labs, we develop formulas dedicated to mature skin, which changes, because we believe menopause can be experienced as a true Golden Age of awareness. Not just anti-aging, but wellness, protection, and radiance. These are the key words to follow: with the right dermatological knowledge and advanced, functional cosmetic actives, it is possible to accompany the skin through this phase, restoring the comfort and glow it deserves.

The role of hormones: why does the skin change?

Before intervening, it is essential to understand what happens beneath the surface. The quality of our skin during fertile age is closely linked to two hormones: estrogens and progesterone.

Estrogens, for example, are our skin’s best friends. They play a crucial role in actively maintaining collagen and elastin production, stimulate natural hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, regulate bacterial function, and keep the skin microbiome healthy.

During perimenopause and with the onset of menopause, estrogen levels undergo a drastic drop. This hormonal deficit triggers a series of chain reactions at the skin level.

How does the skin change during menopause?

Dermatological research has highlighted four main issues that arise following the estrogen drop in menopause:

• Chronic dryness and barrier alteration: The reduction of lipids and ceramides causes water to evaporate faster, leaving the skin dry, rough, and fragile.
• Loss of tone and pronounced wrinkles: In the first 5 years of menopause, about 30% of collagen is lost. Fibroblasts slow down, the skin thins and loses definition, marking the eye contour and nasolabial lines more deeply.
• Spots and dull complexion: The slowdown of cell turnover accumulates dead cells, while hormonal imbalance alters melanocytes, favoring age spots and hyperpigmentation.
• Late acne: In some cases, the estrogen drop leaves free rein to androgens, causing hormonal acne in the chin-jaw area.
