Perimenopause is a natural transition that every woman experiences in her 40s or early 50s. While most discussions around perimenopause focus on mood swings and menstrual irregularities, skin changes are another major—yet often overlooked—symptom.
In this blog, Dr. Abhishek Malviya, leading dermatologist at Radiant Skin Clinic, Indore, explains how perimenopause impacts your skin and what you can do to treat and manage these changes effectively.
Common Skin Changes During Perimenopause
Perimenopause causes a gradual decline in estrogen, which directly affects skin health. Some of the most common changes include:
Dry, flaky skin
Increased sensitivity or redness
Loss of skin elasticity
Fine lines and wrinkles
Adult acne or hormonal breakouts
Pigmentation and uneven skin tone
These changes can make your skin look tired and dull—but the good news is, they’re manageable with the right dermatological care.
Why These Skin Changes Happen
Estrogen plays a crucial role in collagen production, hydration, and skin thickness. As estrogen declines:
Collagen levels drop by up to 30% in the first five years after menopause onset
Sebum (natural oil) production reduces, leading to dryness
Skin renewal slows down, causing dullness and uneven texture
Hormonal imbalance can also trigger acne, even in women who never had breakouts before.

Home Care Tips During Perimenopause
Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser
Apply moisturizer with ceramides or hyaluronic acid
Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen
Include antioxidant serums like Vitamin C
Avoid harsh scrubs or over-exfoliation
Consistency is key—especially when your skin is going through hormonal fluctuations.
When to Seek Professional Help
If your skin feels chronically dry, irritated, or you’re developing adult acne, it’s time for a clinical evaluation. Ignoring perimenopausal skin changes can accelerate aging and lead to long-term skin issues.
