6 Ways to Heal and Nourish Your Skin During Menopause
Menopause is a natural part of the biological aging process. As hormones change and estrogen levels drop, menopause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep problems, and dry skin can occur.
And since a drop in estrogen levels can affect the function and health of the skin, dry skin is a common occurrence during menopause
Many women find that when they reach their forties and fifties, their skin can feel itchier and drier than usual. Low estrogen levels are known to lead to a decrease in collagen production and sebum production - two components that your skin requires to be happy and healthy! [1, 2]
Let's review 6 ways to heal and hydrate your skin if you're suffering from menopausal dry skin.
#1. Keep Your Skin Hydrated With a Daily Moisturizer
If you have dry skin or thinning skin, one of the first things you should do is treat the skin cells themselves. A moisturizer will provide your skin cells with the nourishment they need to maintain moisture levels and treat dry patches.
As we mentioned, low estrogen levels cause your skin to slow collagen and sebum production. The result is skin that's dry, flaky, or thin, which can be challenging to remedy. A moisturizer or skin cream is key here, complementing a balanced and complete skincare routine.
In addition to our menopause-specific skin cream, we have a handful of other lotions and moisturizers that are designed for aging or mature skin.
Miracle Tea Recovery Creme: This day or night skin cream is designed for menopausal skin, helping your skin cells recover and adapt through hormonal changes and menopause symptoms.
Candlenut Body Creme: For healthy skin from head to toe, indulge in this subtly-scented, wonderfully tropical creme.
#2. Don't Neglect Your Body!
Keep in mind that it's not just the face that can experience dry or itchy skin in menopause. If it's happening in your face, it's likely happening across your entire body!
"People neglect their bodies," explains Dr. Elaine Kung during a discussion with JUARA co-founder, Metta Murdaya. "I see a rise in eczema in older people, especially women right over the hump of menopause. They are really rashy and itchy everywhere because of this."
Watch the full discussion below.
For full-body care, we recommend a body scrub that is energizing yet calming. Our Coffee Body Scrub is formulated with ground coffee beans and sulfate-free cleansing agents to ensure the skin stays hydrated and polished.
Additionally, the hands and elbows are often victims of dry, itchy skin during menopause. Our Coconut Illipe Hand and Nail Balm is an anti-aging hand cream that provides youth-restoring moisture while combating dry skin.
#3. Avoid Hot Showers That Strip Your Skin
Hot water can exacerbate dry skin by stripping the skin of natural oils and moisture. And during menopause, this is all the more devastating. Menopausal skin is notoriously thin and dry, causing it to lose moisture faster due to hot water. [3]
Instead, shower or bath in lukewarm or cool water and limit your time in warm water.
Oatmeal isn't just a filling breakfast food. It can be used to soothe itchy skin, a common menopause symptom. In fact, this home remedy has been used for centuries. [4]
Oatmeal contains compounds like avenanthramides that help with itchy skin and inflammation. Additionally, milk contains lactic acid that helps soothe dry or itchy skin.
All you need to do is add a hearty scoop of colloidal oatmeal to a warm bath.
#5. Support Your Diet With Omega-3 Fatty Acids
A balanced diet will support more than the health and appearance of your skin. It'll support your mind and body as you navigate menopause and beyond. And a great way to bolster the benefits of a healthy diet during menopause is with an omega-3 supplement.
Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, mackerel, or sardines, or nuts and seeds like flaxseed, chia seed, or walnuts. Alternatively, you can take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement.
Regardless of where you consume your omega-3, these essential fatty acids help your skin regulate sebum production and maintain collagen levels.
#6. Avoid Skincare Products With Harsh or Drying Ingredients
A complete skincare routine requires products like a cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. But it's important to pay attention to what exactly you apply to your skin.
When you're in the throes of menopause, skin dryness, redness, and itchiness are all the more common. That means that any less-than-ideal ingredients in your skincare products can just exacerbate your dry menopausal skin.
Avoid synthetic dyes, harsh chemicals, and other ingredients that can strip or dry the skin. This will also help with sensitive skin or inflammation. Start by swapping out your cleanser. Use a gentle, lightly foaming cleanser for AM and PM cleansing.
