Post-menopausal skin discomfort: natural solutions to soothe your skin
After menopause, skin speaks louder: tightness, redness, dryness, hyper-reactivity. Here, you'll find a clear, natural, and effective solution—without compromising on elegance.
Why your skin is changing — and why it's not inevitable
Decrease in estrogen levels
Weakened skin barrier, reduced comfort.
Less essential lipids
Depleted hydrolipidic film, skin feels tight.
Hydration is declining
Increased insensible water loss (TEWL).
Increased responsiveness
More frequent intolerances and redness.
The signs that don't lie
- Tightness & itching: reactivity to cold, heat, stress.
- Redness & dry areas: cheeks, lip contour, neck.
- Intolerance to certain skincare products: textures that were once tolerated have become aggressive.
The natural ingredients that make the difference
Ceramides (barrier)
They rebuild the intercellular “cement” and limit water loss.
CBD (soothing)
An anti-inflammatory ally to soothe the burning sensation and stabilize sensitivity.
Vegetable butters
Shea butter, cocoa… deeply nourish and protect against aggressions.
Antioxidants
Green tea, red vine, black tea: rich in polyphenols to strengthen the immune system.
Tolerance tip: introduce new active ingredients gradually, especially acids and retinoids.
Post-menopause routine: simple, demanding, effective
Clean gently
Opt for a milk or oil without irritating perfume to preserve the hydrolipidic film.
Replenish lipids & soothe
Morning and evening, apply a treatment rich in ceramides + butters + CBD to rebuild the barrier.
Target the redness
Add an antioxidant/anti-redness serum to even out skin tone.
Calming the cutaneous nervous system
Stress and lack of sleep worsen the discomfort. Establish a 3-minute ritual in the evening: breathing exercises, herbal tea, self-massage.
- Avoid sulfated surfactants and denatured alcohol.
- Introduce powerful active ingredients gradually with buffering formulas.
- Daily SPF: Post-menopausal skin is thinner and photosensitive.
Key points to remember
Post-menopausal skin discomfort is not inevitable. By adapting your routine to your new hormonal balance and choosing natural, well-tolerated formulas, you can regain suppleness, calm, and comfort every day.
