As women move through perimenopause and menopause, we expect certain changes—hot flashes, irregular periods, maybe some mood swings. But one area that often catches women off guard is the dramatic impact hormones can have on your skin.
As women move through perimenopause and menopause, we expect certain changes—hot flashes, irregular periods, maybe some mood swings. But one area that often catches women off guard is the dramatic impact hormones can have on your skin.
At Ramos Women’s Wellness Center, we want to empower you with the knowledge (and support) to navigate these changes gracefully and confidently.
The Hidden Connection: Hormones & Skin
Estrogen plays a major role in maintaining healthy, youthful skin. It helps with collagen production, hydration, elasticity, and thickness. As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, many women begin to notice:
- Dryness and sensitivity
- Loss of firmness and volume
- Increased wrinkles or fine lines
- Acne or breakouts (yes, even in your 40s and 50s!)
- Delayed healing and thinning skin
These changes aren’t just cosmetic—they can impact how you feel in your skin every day.
What You Can Do
The good news? You have options. Supporting your skin during this phase of life involves a combination of targeted skincare, gentle treatments, and lifestyle changes. Some of our top tips include:
- Hydrate from the inside and out: Drink plenty of water and use products that support your skin’s barrier.
- Boost collagen naturally: Treatments like LaseMD Ultra or TempSure Envi can help restore skin tone and firmness.
- Consider hormone evaluation: We offer individualized support for women navigating hormonal changes, including wellness consultations.
Most importantly, don’t ignore what your skin is telling you. These signs are part of a bigger picture—and they deserve care, attention, and compassion.
