Falling oestrogen during menopause reduces collagen, oil and hydration, so skin becomes drier, thinner and less firm, and more prone to sensitivity and pigmentation. The best approach is to support the barrier, rebuild collagen and protect with sunscreen every day. None of it is complicated, but consistency is what makes the difference.
How does menopause affect your skin?
Oestrogen helps keep skin firm, hydrated and resilient. As levels drop, collagen production slows and the skin can lose a meaningful share of its collagen in the first few years after menopause. You may notice several things at once:
- Dryness and a tight, rough feeling as oil and water content fall
- Loss of firmness around the jaw and cheeks
- More sensitivity and reactivity than you had before
- Pigmentation, dullness, and sometimes adult breakouts
These are normal changes, and they respond well to the right routine and treatments.
What is the best skincare for mature skin?
Barrier first, then active ingredients. A gentle routine that hydrates and protects will always beat a harsh one that leaves skin stripped.
- A gentle, non-stripping cleanser
- Vitamin C in the morning for brightness and antioxidant protection
- Hydration with hyaluronic acid, sealed in with a good moisturiser
- A high perfromance cellular serum- Youth Juice, Youth Restoration or Exosome Serum (Maxwells range)
- Alternatively our Vitamin A resurfacing serum
- Broad-spectrum SPF50 or 50+ every single day
You can build most of this from the Shop Skincare range, and our team can help you sequence it so nothing clashes.
How do I treat ageing skin?
At home, the routine above does the heavy lifting. In clinic, targeted treatments give collagen a stronger push and address concerns that products alone cannot. Resurfacing and collagen-stimulating treatments improve firmness and texture, while pigment-focused work evens out tone. Our Skin Rejuvenation & Pigmentation and Advanced Skin Treatments services are built for exactly this stage of skin.
