Dry skin during menopause: what are the solutions?

Menopause marks an important stage in a woman's life, but it is often accompanied by skin discomfort. Dry skin is one of the most common symptoms, mainly due to the drop in estrogen levels. As a result, the hydrolipidic film, this natural barrier that protects the skin, is weakened, making the skin more vulnerable. Our Helicitherapy treatments offer a natural and effective solution to moisturize and repair the skin during this period. We explain how.

Why does skin become dry during menopause?

Menopause causes a sudden drop in estrogen and progesterone levels, hormones that are essential for maintaining skin balance. This hormonal imbalance directly affects the hydrolipidic film, a protective barrier that prevents water from evaporating in the skin. In addition, the skin's pH changes, sebum production decreases and the epidermis's ability to retain water deteriorates. Metabolism slows down, which amplifies the loss of elasticity, firmness and the appearance of fine lines. This is why many women experience tightness and discomfort on a daily basis.

The discomforts of dry skin during menopause

Dry skin is not just a matter of discomfort, it is often accompanied by other unpleasant effects such as itching, redness, cracking of the hands and feet, and even flaking. Some women also notice the appearance of gray or ashen spots, especially if they have dark skin. With age, hyaluronic acid, a key element for maintaining hydration, naturally degrades, which worsens dryness and makes the skin even more sensitive. It therefore becomes essential to repair the skin barrier and stimulate skin regeneration.

How does snail slime help hydrate and regenerate the skin?

Our snail slime extract, thanks to its exceptional properties, is a real ally for dry and mature skin. This natural ingredient is rich in allantoin, collagen, glycolic acid and elastin, active ingredients that promote cell regeneration, stimulate collagen production and provide intense hydration. These components are particularly suitable for menopausal skin because they help restore the hydrolipidic film, retain water and improve the suppleness of the skin. Our Helicitherapy treatments act in depth to nourish and protect the skin while reducing the visible signs of aging.
