When Hormones Shift, Here’s How Your Skin Thrives
So your hormones are staging a little rebellion: one day glowing, the next dry, dull, or breaking out like a teenager. It’s enough to make even the most confident woman wonder, “What’s happening to my skin?”
Here’s the truth: your skin isn’t betraying you. It’s evolving because your hormones are changing. And with the right support, it can do more than survive this chapter. It can thrive.
This isn’t about fighting nature. It’s about giving your skin what it needs to stay healthy, radiant, and strong as your body evolves.
What’s Really Happening to Your Skin
As estrogen levels dip during perimenopause, your skin goes through its own transition. Here’s what’s going on beneath the surface:
Collagen Takes a Hit
You can lose up to 30% of your skin’s collagen in the first five years of perimenopause. Less firmness. More fine lines. And that bounce you loved? A little less springy.
Moisture Becomes Harder to Hold
Lower estrogen means your skin isn’t holding onto hydration like it once did. Cue dryness, irritation, and a weaker skin barrier.
Hormonal Plot Twists
While your skin feels drier, fluctuating hormones can also trigger breakouts and uneven tone. Yes, adult acne is a thing.
It sounds dramatic, but it’s simply your skin asking for a little extra care.
How to Support Skin That’s Changing
Skin that’s changing deserves more than the same routine you used in your 30s. Here’s how to give it what it craves:
Hydrate Like Never Before.
Moisture is your new best friend. Look for products with:
- Hyaluronic acid for deep hydration
- Banana Bio-Actives to strengthen your barrier
- Glycerin to help soothe and smooth
The Kadalys Hydramuse Comforting Cream is packed with all of the above, and feels like a tall drink of water for thirsty skin.
Nourish With Targeted Ingredients
Gentle, effective actives are key:
- Lactic Acid to smooth texture (try Clarifying Toner)
- Yellow Banana Bio-Actives as a natural retinol alternative (try our Radiance Oil or our Lifting Creams.)
- Pink Banana Bio-Actives for antioxidant protection (Glow Booster Serum, anyone?)
- Sunscreen. Every. Single. Day. With sensitivity and hyperpigmentation more likely, daily SPF 50 isn’t optional.
Beyond the Bottle: Whole-Body Skin Health
Glowing skin isn’t just about your moisturizer. Support your skin from the inside out by:
- Drinking plenty of water
- Eating antioxidant-rich, omega-3-packed foods
- Managing stress with yoga or meditation
- Prioritizing sleep: your skin repairs itself overnight
- When your body’s happy, your skin shows it.

Your hormones may be shifting, but your skin can still thrive, and even look better than ever.
