Menopausal Skin

What is it and how does it change?

During the midlife hormonal transition, skin goes through significant changes across three key phases—perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Kari Gran products are designed to nourish, protect, and hydrate skin through these stages, with essential antioxidants and barrier-supporting ingredients.

  • Common skin conditions across menopause phases

    Progressive Dryness and Dehydration

    Evolving from occasional dry patches in perimenopause to persistent roughness and flaking in postmenopause.

    Accelerated Wrinkles and Sagging
    Particularly noticeable around the jawline, neck, and cheeks as structural proteins decline.

    Thinning and Increased Fragility
    Skin becomes more delicate and prone to tears, bruising, and delayed healing.

    Heightened Sensitivity
    Sudden warmth and redness affecting the face, neck, and chest, which can exacerbate rosacea and sensitivity.

    Hyperpigmentation
    Age spots and uneven tone become more pronounced due to hormonal influence on melanin production.

    Chronic Itching
    Especially common on the limbs due to compromised barrier function and nerve sensitivity changes.

The Stages Of Menopause

  • Perimenopause
    Begins as early as the mid-30s to mid-40s
    and typically lasts 4-8 years

  • Menopause
    Occurs between ages 45-55
    (average age 51-52 in the US)

  • Post Menopause
    Continues through the remaining
    years of life
