Perimenopause:

What we don't know about skin care at this stage

by Tatiana Becerra.

We feel changes not only internally, our image and our daily lives change; adapting our routines makes this stage a new beginning.

Perimenopause is a transitional phase in every woman's life that can last several years before menopause. During this period, hormonal changes not only affect mood and body but also have a significant impact on skin and hair. Often, not enough is said about how to adapt our skincare routine during this stage. Here are some key tips for maintaining healthy, radiant, and balanced skin.

1. Keep your skin hydrated from the inside out

Estrogen levels begin to decline during perimenopause, leading to a reduction in collagen and hyaluronic acid production, resulting in drier, less elastic skin. To combat this:

• Drink enough water : Stay hydrated with at least 2 liters of water a day.
  

• Incorporate essential fatty acids : Foods like avocado, almonds, and salmon help maintain a healthy skin barrier.

• Use suitable moisturizers: Opt for serums with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and creams with rosehip and kojic acid.

2. Essential vitamins for healthy skin

Hormonal balance affects how our body absorbs and uses nutrients, so it's important to pay attention to certain vitamins:

• Vitamin C : A powerful antioxidant that stimulates collagen production and fights free radicals.
  

• Vitamin E : Protects the skin from dehydration and strengthens the skin barrier.
  

• Vitamin D : Essential for cell regeneration, moderate sun exposure or supplements are recommended if necessary. Don't forget to use the right sunscreen : effective and natural sun protection.
  

• Omega-3 : Helps reduce inflammation and keep skin more elastic.

3. Serums and creams that actually work

Your skincare routine should adapt to your skin's changing needs. Some key ingredients to look for in your products are:

• Retinol or Vegan Retinol : Stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. Berry Boost Retinol Serum

• Niacinamide : Helps reduce dark spots and improves elasticity. Detox Serum
  

• Peptides: They reinforce firmness and help prevent sagging. Vitamin C Serum

• Natural oils : Such as rosehip or argan oil, ideal for nourishing without clogging pores. Glow Elixir Rosehip Oil Serum
  
  

4. Hair care during perimenopause

Hair can also be affected, becoming thinner or drier. To strengthen it:

• Use sulfate-free shampoo to prevent dryness. Repair Shampoo Bar
  

• Apply hair serums with argan and rosemary to give it more body and strength. Hair Oil Serum.
  

• Consume protein and B vitamins to stimulate hair growth.
