The Menopausal Skin Microbiome – What Do You Need to Know?

Menopausal skin undergoes significant changes due to hormonal shifts. These changes impact the skin's microbiome, the community of microorganisms residing on the skin. With declining estrogen levels, the skin becomes thinner, drier, and more prone to inflammation. This altered environment can affect the balance of beneficial and harmful skin bacteria. Maintaining a healthy skin microbiome during menopause becomes crucial for skin health. Microbiome-friendly skincare products may help in preserving a balanced microbiome, potentially alleviating skin issues commonly associated with this life stage, such as dryness, sensitivity, and accelerated aging.
