A Matter of Maturity: Common Skincare Complaints from Women Experiencing Perimenopause or Menopause

You’ve no doubt heard, if not experienced, the changes and shifts that occur for women as they approach perimenopause and menopause. Characterized by physiological and mental shifts, this chapter can be especially unforgiving when it comes to physical appearance, particularly the condition of your skin. 

But you’re not alone. 

Research shows that up to 64% of menopausal women report skin problems, most often seen in their face. 

Unfortunately, as hormones fluctuate and estrogen levels dip, many women can’t help but notice changes in their skin, including dryness, itching, loss of elasticity, increased sensitivity, and even acne (here you thought puberty was over!), and hyperpigmentation. It’s like adding insult to injury for women who are trying to navigate all the other nuances that can accompany this chapter in life. 

And hot flashes, or flushing? This miserable symptom is experienced by an estimated 75% of women during menopause, which can cause blood vessels near the surface of the skin to dilate, which results in a flushed or red appearance. 

Fortunately, caring for your skin during perimenopause and menopause is manageable, and made even easier with the help of professionals, like our team at Abington Aesthetics. 

Between our expertise, experience, and extensive menu of services and treatments, we’re confident we can help you manage peri- and menopause-related aesthetic skincare concerns. With the right approach, we can help you reenvision this new territory with poise and, maybe even appreciation. 

As Oprah Winfrey said, “So many women I’ve talked to see menopause as an ending. I’ve discovered that this is your moment to reinvent yourself after years of focusing on the needs of everyone else.” 

Put that way, what better excuse to launch this journey with a proven skincare expert as your co-pilot?
