When Your Skin Suddenly Feels Thinner, Drier or Different 

Many women notice their skin changing rapidly during perimenopause.
What once felt resilient may now feel tight, fragile, or unfamiliar. This can feel unsettling.
Especially when nothing in your routine has changed.

 What’s Happening? 

During perimenopause and menopause, changing oestrogen levels can affect collagen, natural oils and the skin’s ability to hold onto moisture.

Skin that once felt comfortable may suddenly feel drier, thinner, tighter or more sensitive. You may notice fine lines more easily, or find that products you have used for years no longer seem to be enough.

And it isn’t only about oestrogen. Stress, disrupted sleep and the wider changes happening through midlife can all influence how your skin looks and feels.

This is why hormonal skin often responds best to a gentler approach — supporting the skin barrier, replenishing moisture and nourishing your skin consistently rather than trying to fight the changes.

 Support Your Skin, Rather Than Fight It 

Your skin doesn’t need an aggressive anti-ageing routine. During perimenopause, menopause and beyond, it often needs more nourishment, hydration and barrier support.

These Botanical Balance essentials have been chosen to work together to cleanse gently, replenish moisture, support hydration and help dry, changing skin feel softer, calmer and more comfortable.
