Overview
Perimenopause and menopause can bring noticeable changes to the skin. You may find it becomes drier, more sensitive, less firm, more reactive or slower to recover than before. At AL Aesthetics in Solihull, menopausal skin plans support changing skin with professional treatments and targeted skincare, focused on hydration, barrier support, texture, firmness, radiance and maintenance.

What is menopausal skin?
Menopausal skin describes the changes some people notice during perimenopause and menopause, including dryness, sensitivity, dullness, fine lines, reduced firmness, breakouts, flushing or changes in pigmentation. Menopause is a natural stage, but skin may need a different level of support as hormones, hydration and collagen change.
What causes menopausal skin changes?
Changes can be influenced by lower hormone levels, natural ageing, reduced oil production, collagen changes, lifestyle, stress, sleep, sun and previous skincare habits. The barrier can become more sensitive, so products that once worked may suddenly feel too strong.
Signs of menopausal skin
Common concerns include dryness, tightness, sensitivity, redness, dullness, fine lines, rough texture, loss of firmness, breakouts, pigmentation or reduced glow. Because these overlap with rosacea, acne, pigmentation and ageing concerns, a personalised assessment is important.
How we assess your skin
We review your skin changes, sensitivity, hydration, barrier health, breakouts, pigmentation, texture, firmness, current skincare and goals, and discuss whether your priority is comfort, glow, firmness, smoothness or maintenance. We do not provide menopause medical advice or hormone treatment; for medical symptoms, please speak with your GP or menopause specialist.

Recommended skincare for menopausal skin
Menopausal skin often benefits from barrier repair, hydration, daily SPF, gentle exfoliation and targeted actives chosen for tolerance. Your practitioner may recommend ZO Skin Health products to rebuild a routine that suits your skin now, rather than the skin you had years ago.
