Menopause & Skin Changes: What No One Talks About

Menopause is a natural transition, but it doesn’t always feel natural when it comes to your skin. While hot flushes and mood swings are often discussed, the skin changes during menopause are rarely spoken about. Let’s change that.

The Silent Skin Shifts of Menopause

During menopause, oestrogen levels decline, reducing collagen and elasticity. This can lead to dryness, increased sensitivity, and a loss of that natural glow many of us once took for granted. Skin can suddenly feel thinner, more reactive, and less resilient.

For many women, one of the most frustrating symptoms is itchy skin during menopause. This happens because falling oestrogen levels reduce the skin’s natural oils, leaving it feeling tight, flaky, and uncomfortable. It’s a reminder that your skin’s needs are shifting – and so should your routine.

Hydration for Menopausal Skin

One of the biggest challenges during menopause is dryness. Without enough moisture, skin can appear dull and accentuate fine lines. Gentle, deeply hydrating formulas can make a world of difference.

Our Wonder Balm is a powerful natural remedy for dryness and itchy skin in menopause. Handcrafted with 100% organic ingredients, it nourishes deeply, calms irritation, and restores balance without harsh chemicals.

 

Natural Skincare for Menopause: Sensitivity & Simplicity

Hormonal shifts can trigger redness, irritation, and sensitivity. That’s why a toxin-free routine is so important. Avoid harsh cleansers, synthetic fragrances, and products overloaded with unnecessary fillers. Instead, look for organic menopause skincare with gentle botanicals to support your skin barrier.

Franchine Young Ireland products – from hydrating Rose Water to antioxidant-rich Pure Argan Oil – are designed to work in harmony with your skin, especially during menopause when sensitivity is heightened.

Creating a Menopause-Friendly Skincare Routine

• Cleanse gently – Avoid stripping foaming cleansers. A balm or oil is ideal.
• Hydrate generously – Layer lightweight hydration with a deeply nourishing balm.
• Protect daily – Sunscreen is essential for menopausal skin, which can be more prone to sun damage.
• Soothe itchy skin – Use calming botanicals such as chamomile and calendula to ease menopause itchy skin naturally.
• Embrace balance – Our Mother Nature’s Method collection supports skin, body, and mind holistically with organic essentials that restore balance inside and out.
