Why Your Skin Becomes Sensitive During Menopause
Share
If you want the full picture on barrier weakening, read my Menopause Skincare Guide here.
Declining estrogen weakens the barrier, thins the skin, and increases sensitivity.
More about barrier function is explained in the Menopause & Perimenopause Skincare Guide.
🌿 What helps
1. Gentle cleanser
→ Calm & Clarify Cleanser - Non-stripping, soothing botanical cleansing
2. Barrier moisturiser
→ Nourish & Refine Moisturiser - Rebuilds the lipid barrier with Mamaku, Shea Butter & Sea Buckthorn
3. Avoid actives
Retinol, acids, scrubs can further thin and irritate menopausal skin.
4. Use soothing botanicals
Mamaku, Harakeke, Chamomile — all featured in our hormone-supportive skincare range.
