If your skin suddenly feels bone-dry, weirdly sensitive, reactive or just flat-out “not like it used to,” you’re not alone. And no, it’s not just that extra glass of wine from Saturday night.
Hormonal changes, particularly during perimenopause and menopause, can significantly impact our skin, and for many women this starts earlier than expected. Whether it’s perimenopause starting its slow burn or just the general chaos of our 30s, our skin is often the first to send up a flare.
And at this stage of life, your skincare routine often needs to change too. What worked for you once, and served you through your 20’s or 30’s might not suit you now.
What exactly is hormonal skin?
In short, hormonal skin refers to the changes that occur as oestrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate. These hormones are basically the project managers of our skin, maintaining our collagen, hydration, barrier strength and inflammation levels.
When they start fluctuating, it can lead to all sorts of chaos:
-
Increased dryness or dehydration (that no amount of moisturiser can fix)
-
Sensitivity or redness (random stinging from your usual products)
-
Hormonal breakouts (often around the jawline and chin)
-
Dull or tired-looking skin, even after a good night's sleep
-
Skincare that suddenly feels ineffective
All of this isn’t “bad skin; it’s simply changing skin.
Why your skincare stopped working
We hear so many of our clients tell us, “I haven’t changed anything,” and but my skin feels completely different.”
That’s because hormonal changes can lead to:
-
Reduced collagen and hyaluronic acid (thinner, drier skin)
-
Barrier impairment (higher sensitivity and reactivity)
-
Increased inflammation
-
Changes in oil production
What worked in your 20s and 30s often isn’t enough anymore. Hormonal skin needs a balance-first approach, supporting our skin rather than trying to transform with harsher treatments or stronger actives.
Barrier repair is the new non-negotiable.
When skin becomes hormonal, the priority is to:
-
Calm inflammation
-
Strengthen the skin barrier
-
Hydrate deeply
-
Support collagen
-
Protect with SPF
Aggressive exfoliation and overuse of active ingredients can make the symptoms worse. Instead, focus on gentle treatments and tailored homecare to help restore balance and resilience.
Which is where professional guidance becomes essential.
Why we don’t guess, we prescribe
Hormonal skin isn’t one-size-fits-all.
That’s why we focus on personalised skincare prescriptions, assessing your skin, understanding your concerns, and creating a tailored treatment and skincare regimen that evolves with you.
Your skin deserves a plan, not random products.
