Perimenopause & Your Skin

How to Support Your Glow Through Hormonal Changes

As we enter our late 30s and 40s, many of us start noticing unexpected shifts in our skin—more dryness, new breakouts, sensitivity, or even fine lines that seem to appear overnight. If this sounds familiar, you might be in perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause when hormone levels start to fluctuate—and yes, your skin feels it.

At Beautiful Aesthetics, we believe in helping you understand your skin and support it through every stage of life. Here’s what you need to know about how perimenopause impacts your skin and what you can do to take control of your glow.

What Happens to Skin During Perimenopause?

Hormonal shifts—particularly declining estrogen levels—can cause:

Increased dryness and dehydration
Loss of elasticity and firmness
More visible fine lines and wrinkles
Heightened skin sensitivity
Hormonal breakouts (yes, they can come back!)

Your skin’s barrier becomes more fragile, cell turnover slows, and collagen production begins to decline. This means your usual skincare routine may no longer be cutting it.

What Your Skin Needs Now

✅ Hydration, Hydration, Hydration
Perimenopausal skin tends to lose moisture more easily. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid, like our Ultimate Boost Serum, to deeply hydrate and plump your skin.

✅ Barrier Repair + Soothing Support
Skin can become more reactive during this phase. Lipid-rich serums like our Lipid Serum help calm inflammation, reduce sensitivity, and reinforce the skin barrier.

✅ Boost Collagen & Elasticity
This is the time to add in ingredients and treatments that stimulate collagen production, such as:

Laser Genesis – promotes collagen and smooths texture.
SkinPen Microneedling – refines skin tone, improves elasticity, and softens fine lines.

✅ Smart Actives: Retinoids & Niacinamide
These are your go-to ingredients for aging gracefully:

Retinoids help increase cell turnover and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Niacinamide improves skin elasticity, minimizes pores, and helps even tone—all without irritation.

✅ Daily SPF
Hormonal changes can increase sun sensitivity, so daily broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable to prevent further damage.
