Understanding Perimenopausal Skin

August 16, 2024

Perimenopause is a natural transition period before menopause, typically occurring in women between their late 30s and early 50s. During this time, hormonal fluctuations can lead to various skin issues such as dryness, sensitivity, and breakouts.

Choosing the right skincare products is crucial to maintaining healthy skin. In this article, we will explore why you should use natural skincare products on perimenopausal skin, focusing on the benefits of natural, vegan, and organic skincare.

What Happens to Your Skin During Perimenopause?

Perimenopause brings about a range of hormonal changes, primarily a decrease in oestrogen levels. These hormonal shifts can affect your skin in several ways:

Dryness - Reduced oestrogen levels lead to decreased oil production, causing your skin to become dry and flaky.
Sensitivity - Your skin may become more sensitive and prone to irritation.
Breakouts - Hormonal imbalances can lead to acne and other skin issues.
Loss of Elasticity - Reduced collagen production can make your skin less firm and more prone to wrinkles.

Benefits of Natural Skincare for Perimenopausal Skin

Why Natural Skincare?

Natural skincare products are formulated without synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, and other potentially harmful ingredients. Instead, they use natural, plant-based ingredients that are gentler on the skin.

This is particularly beneficial for perimenopausal skin, which can be more sensitive and reactive during this time. At Dalia Botanique, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to create skincare that truly cares for your skin.

Gentle and Non-Irritating

Natural skincare products are often free from harsh chemicals and synthetic additives that can irritate sensitive skin. Ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and calendula have soothing properties that can help calm and nourish your skin.

Our Chamomile and Calendula Body Lotion is a great product for those suffering with hormonal irritations. Infused with the soothing properties of chamomile and calendula, this lotion is a true comfort for your skin.

These natural ingredients work in harmony to calm irritation, lock in moisture, and restore your skin's natural balance.

Rich in Nutrients

Natural ingredients are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help support your skin's health. For example, ingredients like rosehip oil and argan oil are rich in essential fatty acids that can help moisturise and repair your skin.

Our body oils are a testament to nature's skincare power. Infused with antioxidant-rich oils like those mentioned, plus skin-soothing extracts like CoQ10, they work to combat the specific challenges of perimenopausal skin, such as dryness, loss of elasticity and hormonal fluctuations. These oils help restore your skin's natural balance and radiance.

And let's not forget the uplifting scents of lavender, ylang-ylang, or rose geranium that transport you to a serene garden oasis.

Lavender and Ylang Ylang Body Oil review: Amazing product

"Since being in perimenopause I've noticed my skin getting very dry, especially on my legs. Just a few days after using this body oil my legs no longer look like a dried up river bed. My skin us smooth and soft. The oil smells divine and a little goes a long way. I use it after my shower to seel the moisture in. I've tried a lot of products over the past 5 years and this is the only one that has done the job I want it to. The Serum and body oils are amazing!"
