Menopause is a natural phase of life, but it brings significant changes to the skin. Declining estrogen levels lead to a loss of collagen, elasticity, and hyaluronic acid—the skin’s natural "water reservoir." This not only causes dryness and wrinkles but also disrupts the skin barrier and microbiome, making skin more prone to irritation, sensitivity, and even infections.
But here’s the good news: hydration and microbiome care can help you navigate these changes with confidence. By focusing on prevention and maintaining skin health, you can support your skin’s natural resilience and embrace healthy aging.
Why Menopause Affects Your Skin
- Loss of Hyaluronic Acid: During menopause, hyaluronic acid levels drop dramatically, leading to dehydration and a weakened skin barrier.
- Microbiome Imbalance: A disrupted skin barrier can alter the microbiome, reducing its ability to protect against harmful bacteria and inflammation.
- Collagen and Elasticity Decline: Lower estrogen levels slow collagen production, leading to thinner, less elastic skin.
- Increased Sensitivity: Menopausal skin is more prone to irritation, redness, and conditions like eczema or rosacea.
The Power of Phyaluronic Acid and Microbiome Care
Your hyaluronic acid ingredient isn’t just a hydrator—it’s a game-changer for menopausal skin. Here’s why:
- Enzyme Resistance: Unlike standard hyaluronic acid, your ingredient resists breakdown by enzymes like hyaluronidase, providing longer-lasting hydration.
- Barrier Support: By replenishing the skin’s "water reservoir," it strengthens the skin barrier, creating a healthier environment for the microbiome.
- Collagen and Elasticity Boost: Hydrated skin is more resilient and better able to maintain its structure, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Microbiome Balance: As we age some of the less desireable microbes start to get an upper hand. Phyaluronic acid has been shown to inhibit microbiobial biofilms of bacteria like Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas and Candida, offer preventative support for a more diverse and balanced microbiome.
