How does menopause impact your skin's moisture levels?

During menopause, many women notice a decline in their skin's moisture levels. This is largely due to the decrease in oestrogen, which helps maintain skin hydration. As oestrogen decreases, skin can become drier, leading to increased sensitivity and a rough texture. To combat this, it’s essential to use moisturizers that are rich in hydrating ingredients, such as glycerin or ceramides. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding excessive sun exposure can also help maintain skin moisture. Consulting a dermatologist can provide personalized skincare recommendations during this transition.
