As we age, our skin tends to act out in unexpected ways. For women over 50, hormonal changes, especially due to menopause, can lead to unpredictable skin issues like dryness, oiliness, or even breakouts. You may be wondering, why is my skin so different now?

The answer lies in the natural changes your body is going through. Declining estrogen levels lead to a decrease in collagen production and skin hydration, making your skin thinner and drier. At the same time, the skin’s natural oil production may increase or decrease dramatically, leading to a complexion that feels out of balance.

So, how do you restore harmony to your skin? First, start with a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of essential oils. Follow it up with a rich moisturizer that contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or squalane to lock in hydration. If your skin tends to be oily, choose a lightweight, oil-free option.

Incorporating a retinol-based product can also help to boost collagen production, smoothing fine lines and improving skin texture. And, of course, sunscreen is non-negotiable, as aging skin is more vulnerable to sun damage.

While achieving balanced skin may seem challenging, consistency with your routine is key to seeing results.
