Menopause is a natural part of being a woman and marks the end of the reproductive phase. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but as early as 35–40, some women can enter perimenopause – a period of gradual hormonal changes leading up to menopause.

What happens to the skin during perimenopause and menopause?

The hormonal decline, especially of estrogen and progesterone , affects the body in many ways. Estrogen is central to skin elasticity, moisture, and collagen production, while progesterone has a regulatory role in the menstrual cycle and affects the skin's oil balance. When these hormones drop, symptoms such as:

• Irregular periods: An early sign of premenopause, when ovulation becomes more sporadic.
• Hot flashes and sleep problems: Common when the body's thermostat is affected by hormonal changes.

This is how the skin changes during menopause:

• Dryness: The skin feels tight and lacks moisture.
• Increased sensitivity: Becomes more easily irritated and red.
• Lost elasticity: The skin loses its elasticity and feels lifeless.
• Dullness: The skin looks dull and tired, with reduced radiance.

With the right skincare, you can strengthen your skin and regain its natural glow. These are our recommendations for skin during premenopause and menopause.

Cleans gently

Skip harsh cleansers with alcohols and opt for a hydrating, gentle cleanser like our Hydrating Mousse Cleanser. By strengthening your skin's microbiome with the prebiotics found in our hydrating mousse cleanser, you can reduce dryness, irritation, and fine lines.

Boost moisture and counteract pigmentation

Collagen superfood Serum is a serum that contains two types of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C as well as Niacinamide which strengthens the skin barrier and prevents the melanin in the skin from clumping together and forming pigmentation. Bagliora Face oil is a luxurious facial oil with 99% natural superfood oils that provides intense nourishment and improves skin elasticity.

Strengthen the skin barrier

During pre-menopause, the skin begins to thin and a strengthened skin barrier becomes even more important. Nourishing Rich Cream is a nourishing cream with ceramides and antioxidants that strengthen the skin barrier and give it extra protection.

Work away surface dryness

Clarifying Leave-on Exfoliator is a Moisturizing leave-on lotion that gently sweeps away dead skin cells on the surface so that healthy new cells can emerge and shine, giving a more radiant complexion.

Build up skin elasticity

When the skin becomes less elastic, ingredients like Retiol, a form of vitamin A, are preferable. Baglioras Retinol Cream makes the skin smoother and more elastic.

Protect your skin from the sun

As skin becomes thinner, it is especially important to protect it from UVA and UVB rays. Silk sun screen SPF 50 is like a day cream and sunscreen in one. It has broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against harmful UV radiation and prevents premature aging. At the same time, it moisturizes without feeling sticky.
