Menopause triggers significant hormonal fluctuations that impact skin physiology. The decline in estrogen levels slows down fibroblast activity, reduced collagen or elastin synthesis being some of the main consequenses. Lower sebum production results in a decrease in the quality of the hydrolipidic film, exacerbating skin concerns such as dryness or acne. Hormonal imbalances affect melanogenesis, contributing to pigmentation disorders. Furthermore, compromised skin barrier function can intensify sensitivity.

This abstract emphasizes the intricate links between menopause and various skin concerns, underscoring the necessity of understanding these hormonal dynamics for tailored skincare strategies to tackle the multifaceted challenges faced by menopausal women.
