Skin Inflammation During Menopause: Why It Happens & How to Protect Your Skin Naturally
If you’ve noticed your skin becoming more reactive, flushed, or sensitive during the menopause years, you’re not alone. Many women experience skin inflammation during menopause — from flare-ups of rosacea or acne to general redness and irritation. The good news? With the right approach to menopause skin care, you can calm inflammation and restore your natural glow.
Why Does Skin Inflammation Happen in Menopause?
As oestrogen levels decline during menopause and perimenopause, your skin undergoes big changes. Oestrogen plays a vital role in keeping your skin barrier strong, hydrated, and resilient. When levels drop, the skin can become thinner, drier, and more prone to sensitivity.
This weakened barrier makes it easier for external triggers — stress, harsh skincare, poor sleep, or diet — to cause irritation and inflammation. That’s why so many women notice new issues such as acne in menopause years, flare-ups of rosacea, or general skin sensitivity.
One Simple Tip to Calm Inflammation: Protect Your Skin Barrier
Think of your skin barrier as your body’s natural shield. When it’s compromised, skin becomes reactive, red, and inflamed. Unfortunately, many common routines make things worse — like using harsh cleansers, over-exfoliating, or fragranced products.
Instead, choose gentle, pH-balanced cleansers, hydrating serums, and nourishing moisturisers designed to support barrier repair. By strengthening your skin barrier, you can calm inflammation, reduce flare-ups, and keep your complexion feeling soft, smooth, and resilient.
