The truth about perimenopause and your skin – what you need to know!

Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause. It can start several years earlier and is characterized by hormonal changes, mainly a decrease in estrogen levels.

The skin is one of the first to show these changes. Dryness, loss of elasticity, more pronounced fine lines, or increased sensitivity are not “sudden aging.” They are a natural hormonal transition.

What Changes May Occur in the Skin?

  • Dryness and dehydration
  • Loss of elasticity
  • More visible fine lines
  • Dull appearance
  • Sensitivity or reappearance of adult acne

These changes are caused by lower estrogen levels, which affect collagen production, natural hydration, and the skin barrier function.

How Should Skincare Be Adjusted?

At this stage, the skin doesn’t need more products — it needs a proper strategy:

  • Strengthening the skin barrier
  • Deep and targeted hydration
  • Proper support of collagen production
  • Personalized treatments where needed

At Vitality, we can assess your skin and apply treatments and routines tailored to the needs of this phase. With the right approach, your skin can stay hydrated, firm, and radiant.

Understanding what is happening inside the body allows us to care for the skin more effectively. Skin changes — and so should our skincare routine.
