Perimenopausal Skin: What To Expect and How to Care For It

Skin changes are a natural part of life, but for women, they can be especially influenced by hormonal fluctuations. During perimenopause—the transitional phase before menopause—these changes often become more noticeable as estrogen levels decline.

Impact of Hormones on Your Skin

Most women know about the common signs of perimenopause like hot flashes and mood swings. But did you know skin changes are also linked to hormonal shifts?

The key hormones that influence your skin's health include:

• Progesterone: Keeps skin moist and supple.

• Estrogen: Aids collagen production and maintains skin thickness.

• Testosterone: Manages oil production and skin elasticity.

Of these three, estrogen has the largest impact. When estrogen levels dip, it can lead to dry skin, acne, hyperpigmentation, and thinning skin.

How to Care for Menopausal Skin

At Boom Beauty, we create skincare designed specifically for the changing needs of peri- to post-menopausal skin.

With organic, minimal, hand-selected ingredients, our formulas ensure quality and effectiveness while reducing the risk of skin irritation.

1. Hydrate and Nourish

As skin loses moisture more easily, use deeply hydrating moisturizers with ingredients like olive oil, honey, and beeswax to help restore softness.

💡 Try: Boomsilk – A rich, all-over moisturizer packed with natural hydration.

2. Wear SPF Daily

Sun exposure accelerates collagen loss and increases pigmentation. A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen can help protect against UV and blue light damage.

💡 Try: Boom Sun – Lightweight, non-toxic mineral SPF with hydrating benefits.

3. Choose Gentle, Barrier-Supporting Skincare

Opt for fragrance-free, non-irritating skincare that soothes rather than strips your skin.

💡 Try: Boomstick Glo – A portable, organic moisturizer for instant hydration on the go.

4. Support Collagen Production

Vitamin C, peptides, and gentle retinoids can help maintain skin elasticity. A diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and protein also supports collagen from within.

5. Manage Stress & Prioritize Sleep

Stress increases cortisol, which can lead to breakouts and inflammation. A consistent sleep schedule and relaxation practices help your skin repair overnight.
