Skin changes are often among the first visible signs of perimenopause and they reflect internal shifts in hormones, hydration, and inflammation.
Common skin changes during perimenopause:
✅ Reduced elasticity and firmness
✅ Increased dryness or sensitivity
✅ Fine lines and wrinkles developing more quickly
✅ Dull complexion and slower cell turnover
✅ Adult acne or uneven tone
Why these changes happen:
✅ Declining estrogen → reduces collagen and hyaluronic acid production
✅ Progesterone shifts → may affect skin barrier function and hydration
✅ Increased cortisol → promotes inflammation and collagen breakdown
✅ Nutrient deficiencies → especially zinc, vitamin C, and essential fatty acids
✅ Gut and liver stress → affect detoxification and skin clarity
How to support your skin during perimenopause:
✅ Prioritize hydration from within — water, electrolytes, healthy fats
✅ Include skin-nourishing nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and omega-3s
✅ Balance hormones naturally with diet, stress care, and gut support
✅ Manage inflammation and blood sugar → protects collagen
✅ Engage in gentle detox and liver support through food
