Perimenopausal

Perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause, commonly has a significant impact on skin. During this period your hormonal fluctuations contribute to a range of skin changes such as reduced collagen production, a loss of skin elasticity, sagging and fine lines. The skin also tends to become drier, intensifying the appearance of wrinkles. Increased susceptibility to pigmentation issues and age spots is common.

During this time we highly recommend having a skincare regime to help while you navigate these changes. For this part of your skincare journey we highly recommend the following ingredients:

Retinal, a derivative of vitamin A, is a potent ingredient known for stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin texture.

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, plays a crucial role in supporting the skin barrier function. It helps maintain hydration, reduces redness, and minimises sensitivity, which is especially important as perimenopausal skin tends to become more delicate.

Poly-hydroxy acids, a gentle form of exfoliation for the skin, with evidence of skin hydration, management of blemishes, reduction in pigmentation and anti-aging benefits we recommend poly-hydroxy acids for perimenopausal skin.

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic and lactic acids, offer gentle exfoliation, effectively removing dead skin cells and promoting cellular turnover. This can lead to a smoother complexion and diminished age-related hyperpigmentation.
