Menopause is a natural life transition, but let’s be honest—it can come with some not-so-welcome changes, especially when it comes to your skin.
If you’ve noticed your skin becoming drier, more sensitive, or just not as radiant as it once was, you’re not imagining it—and you’re certainly not alone. At Bliss MediSpa & Integrated Wellness, we understand how menopause affects the skin, and more importantly, how to support it through this new chapter.
Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes—and what you can do to nourish, protect, and love your skin during (and after) menopause.
What Happens to Your Skin During Menopause?
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels begin to decline—and this hormonal shift has a direct impact on your skin’s structure and function.
Here are some of the most common skin changes women experience:
1. Dryness and Dehydration
Estrogen plays a big role in retaining moisture and maintaining your skin’s barrier. As levels drop, your skin may start to feel tight, flaky, or irritated.
2. Loss of Elasticity and Firmness
Collagen production decreases by about 30% in the first five years of menopause. This can lead to sagging, thinning skin, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Increased Sensitivity
Hormonal fluctuations can cause skin to become more reactive, red, or prone to irritation—especially if you’re still using the same products from your 30s.
4. Breakouts and Adult Acne
Yes, breakouts can make an unwelcome return. As estrogen dips, testosterone can become more dominant, leading to increased oil production and clogged pores.
5. Pigmentation Changes
Melasma, age spots, and uneven tone may become more noticeable due to hormonal changes and years of sun exposure.
What You Can Do: Bliss-Approved Solutions
Good news—you don’t have to “just deal with it.” There are proven ways to support your skin and feel radiant again, no matter your age.
1. Upgrade Your Skincare Routine
Now’s the time to ditch harsh products and embrace hydrating, nourishing ingredients. Look for:
- Hyaluronic acid to restore moisture
- Peptides to boost collagen and firmness
- Niacinamide to soothe inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier
- Retinol or retinoids to encourage cell turnover (used under guidance)
Our expert team at Bliss can recommend medical-grade skincare products that work with your skin—not against it.
2. HydraFacial for Deep Hydration
HydraFacial is one of our favorite treatments for menopausal skin. It gently exfoliates, deeply hydrates, and infuses the skin with antioxidants—all in one session with zero downtime. It’s perfect for dull, dry, or sensitive skin.
3. Microneedling & Sylfirm X for Firmness + Redness
These advanced treatments stimulate collagen and elastin, helping to lift, firm, and smooth aging skin. Sylfirm X also calms redness and broken capillaries, which are common in midlife.
4. Bio-Boosting Injections (like B12 or IM Multi-Vitamins and IV drips)
Menopause affects the skin from the inside out. Intramuscular vitamin injections help improve energy, circulation, and nutrient delivery to the skin—making them a powerful part of your holistic care plan.
5. Embrace Self-Care and Support
Your skin is a reflection of what’s going on inside. Eating well, reducing stress, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated can all contribute to a radiant, more balanced complexion. And if you’re struggling, you don’t have to go it alone—we’re here to help.
