Menopause marks a profound transformation in a woman's skin. Hormonal changes affect collagen production, hydration, and the skin's regenerative capacity, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, prone to dryness and the appearance of spots. Therefore, it is essential to follow expert advice and proven products, endorsed by dermatologists and available at Perfumería Hortensia.

How does the skin change during menopause?

• Decreased collagen: In the first five years after menopause, the skin can lose up to 30% of its collagen, becoming thinner and losing elasticity.
• Dryness and sensitivity: The production of natural oils decreases, causing dehydration, redness and, at times, hormonal acne outbreaks.
• Spots and dull skin tone: The drop in estrogen promotes the appearance of dark spots and a less radiant complexion.

Essential active ingredients according to experts

Doctors Maryam Zamani, Barbara Sturm, and Marko Lens highlight the importance of these key ingredients:

• Hyaluronic acid: Deeply hydrates and maintains elasticity.
• Peptides and bio-identical collagen: Firm and plump, improving skin density.
• Retinol and vitamin C: Promote cell regeneration and fight spots.
• Ceramides and natural oils: Strengthen the skin barrier and smooth the skin.
• Sunscreen: The most important step to prevent premature aging.
