Menopause & Skin: When Hormones Put on a Show (And We Know How to Handle Them!)

Hey ladies!
If you've ever wondered why your skin lately feels like a rollercoaster of emotions – dry as the desert one day, oily as a fried snack the next – you're not alone. Menopause is definitely playing tricks on us. And while some of us deal with hot flashes or spend ages looking for the glasses that were “literally right here,” our skin has decided to star in its own hormonal drama.

👉 Let’s take a look beneath the surface – and more importantly: how to turn this drama into a comedy, not a tragedy.

Estrogen – our loyal partner in glowing skin – begins to decline during menopause. And when this key hormone drops, the skin starts reacting in all sorts of unpredictable ways.

• Collagen disappears faster than your favorite perfume. The result? Wrinkles that look like Picasso drew them after three espressos.
• The skin loses hydration. – it is dry, tight and sometimes itchy, as if you were sleeping on a pillow made of nettles.
• Sensitivity increasesEven your favorite cream can trigger a reaction like: "What? You're giving me this now?!"
• And now the funniest part – Pimples at fifty? Yes, because why not. Puberty 2.0 – this time with more grace (and more expensive cosmetics).

When choosing products, look for these heroes:

• Hyaluronic acid – she's not a spy, but she can attract water like a magnet.
• Retinol – a miracle against wrinkles, but start slowly! (We will publish a separate article soon – Retinol: anti-aging miracle or nightmare?)
• Peptides – whispering to your collagen: “Hey, don’t give up.”

Even if you feel like your skin is shining like a Christmas tree with oil, don't skip hydrationLight gel creams or serums with ceramides are your ally.
And if you are bothered by pimples? Reach for salicylic acid – with reason and without returning to the 90s.

SPF isn't just for vacation.
The sun can deepen wrinkles faster than your husband can find an excuse for why he couldn't take out the trash.
SPF 30+ every day, and if possible also hat with style – your skin will thank you.

• Omega-3 (salmon, chia)
• Antioxidants (blueberries, dark chocolate – yes please!)
• And the good old water – if you drink like a desert camel, your skin will glow.

Laser, microneedling, or even hormonal therapy (after consulting a doctor – more about hormone treatment at SÚKL)
There's no shame in that. It's like hiring a hairdresser instead of cutting paper with scissors.

Yes, menopause is like a wild party you didn't ask for. But with a little humor, great care and self-confidence you'll make a show out of it according to your own script.

Every wrinkle is a story. Like the one when you laughed so hard you dropped the cake.

And if you get caught off guard by a pimple? Remember how you cried at 15 – and today you're laughing with a glass of wine in your hand.
