New chapter. New skin conversation.
You know your favourite cream inside out: its texture, its scent and exactly where it belongs on your bathroom shelf. You have used it for years—so why does your skin suddenly feel different?
Perhaps your face feels tight after cleansing. Your usual moisturiser no longer leaves you feeling comfortable. Or a product you once enjoyed has started to sting.
It may be time to review what your skin needs today.
Why can skin change around menopause?
Hormonal changes around menopause can contribute to dryness, thinner skin and reduced firmness. The American Academy of Dermatology recognises these changes and recommends adjusting skincare to the concerns you experience. (aad.org)
These changes can make a familiar routine feel less suitable. However, every new symptom should not automatically be blamed on hormones.
Start with a little detective work
Before filling your basket with new products, write down what you have noticed:
-
Does your skin feel tight or uncomfortable after washing?
-
Does a familiar product now sting?
-
Are the changes occasional or persistent?
-
When did they begin?
-
Have you introduced any new products or treatments?
Bring the names or photographs of your current products to your consultation. Knowing what you already use makes it easier to have a useful conversation.
Give your routine room to evolve
You do not need to replace everything overnight. Begin by reviewing which products still feel comfortable and which seem to cause problems.
Your routine should feel manageable, fit your budget and respond to your current needs. There is no failure in outgrowing a product—and no requirement to buy an entire “anti-ageing” collection because you have reached a particular birthday.
Persistent irritation, unexplained changes or troublesome symptoms deserve advice from a healthcare professional.
