Fun with menopause?

Menopause is a period in life that we women often don't hear much positive about. But, with the right knowledge and by sticking together, supporting each other and sharing our experiences, we can feel better both in body and mind. And maybe we can even have a little fun together about what's happening and what's changing.

We gathered a group of women at Skinome's office and lab for an evening to talk about menopause and have fun together! Here you can take part in our panel discussion during that evening where Carina Berg together with Skinome founder and skin expert Johanna Gillbro and doctor Naomi Flamholc from Womni share their expertise on what happens to the body and skin during menopause.

Menopause

How does the skin change during menopause?

Menopause brings about hormonal changes in the body that also affect the skin in several ways. The most common skin changes are:

  • Dryness – skin feels dry and tight
  • Sensitivity – the skin becomes more easily irritated and red
  • Lost elasticity – the skin loses its elasticity and feels lifeless
  • Dullness – the skin looks tired and dull and has lost some of its luster

These changes can feel challenging, but there are solutions. With the right products and ingredients, there is a good chance that your skin will be recognizable again.

Skin expert's best tips for skin during menopause

Moisturize deeply

Many people experience drier skin, so it may be a good idea to switch to a richer face cream to provide the skin with enough moisture and to make it feel soft, supple and with a nice glow again.

Rebuild elasticity

Ingredients like retinal, a form of vitamin A, help skin become firmer and more elastic thanks to its collagen-stimulating and cell-renewing properties.

Protect your skin from the sun

The skin becomes more sensitive, making it even more important to protect yourself from the sun. Use sunscreen with a high SPF when the UV index is above 2 to avoid sun damage and pigmentation changes.

Strengthen the skin barrier with probiotics

During menopause, skin becomes thinner and a strong skin barrier is even more important. By strengthening the skin's microbiome with probiotics, you can reduce dryness, irritation and fine lines.
