Natural Skincare for Over 40: Caring for Skin Through Menopause

Your 40s and beyond bring plenty of changes - some wonderful, like confidence in who you are, and some… slightly more unpredictable, like your skin deciding it’s going to be a bit drier, thinner, or more sensitive than it used to be.

Menopause is a natural transition, and it affects your skin just as much as your mood, sleep, and energy. But with a few tweaks, your skincare routine can become a calming, supportive ritual that makes your skin feel comfortable, hydrated, and radiant.

1. Hydration is Your New Best Friend

Remedy: Layer water-based and oil-based products

As oestrogen levels drop, skin can lose moisture faster, leading to dryness and fine lines. The best fix? Hydrate in layers.
💧 Start with water-based serums or gels to drench the skin in moisture.
💛 Follow with a nourishing cream or oil to seal it in and protect your skin barrier.

💚 Try this: Apply our Replenishing Serum first, then smooth on the Rejuvenating Face Cream for lasting comfort.

2. Strengthen Your Skin Barrier

Remedy: Butters, oils, and ceramide-rich care

Your skin barrier is the first line of defence against the elements - and during menopause, it needs extra support. Rich plant butters and oils can help strengthen and repair it, keeping moisture in and irritants out.

💚 Try this: Our Nourishing Facial Oil, with unrefined rosehip, argan, pomegranate, and sweet almond oils, feeds the skin essential fatty acids to keep it supple and resilient.

3. Calm Sensitivity and Redness

Remedy: Gentle botanicals with anti-inflammatory powers

Hot flushes and hormonal shifts can make skin prone to redness. Choose soothing ingredients like chamomile, aloe vera, and calendula, and avoid harsh scrubs or strong acids.

💚 Try this: Our Oat & Mandarin Cleanser gently lifts away impurities while calming irritated skin.

4. Support Collagen and Elasticity

Remedy: Antioxidants and skin-loving vitamins

Collagen naturally declines with age, but antioxidants and targeted active ingredients can help protect what you’ve got and support skin renewal. Look for natural oils rich in vitamins, as well as peptides and plant extracts that boost firmness.

💚 Try this: Our Replenishing Serum contains marine algae extract, lupine peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and wu zhu - a potent blend to help improve elasticity, hydration, and overall skin vitality.

5. Create a Soothing Evening Ritual

Remedy: End your day with nourishment and calm

Menopause can make sleep more elusive, but your evening skincare can become a moment of grounding. Take your time to massage in your products, focus on your breathing, and let your body know it’s safe to rest.

💚 Tip: Finish with our Sleep Balm on the soles of your feet - lavender and chamomile help ease you into a peaceful night.

It’s About Comfort, Not Complication

Menopausal skin doesn’t need a complicated routine - just consistent, nourishing care that works with your body, not against it. With the right products and a little self-kindness, your skin can feel hydrated, healthy, and beautifully comfortable at every stage.
