Embracing Change With Confidence
Menopause is one of the most significant transitions in a woman’s life. It’s a stage that marks not an ending, but an evolution, a natural shift that deserves recognition, care, and respect. While much is spoken about hot flushes, mood changes, and sleep, the skin’s journey through menopause is often left out of the conversation.
At Kenzako, we believe skincare should reflect every stage of a woman’s life. Our mission is Pure. Proven. Purposeful. Creating products that don’t just enhance beauty, but support women’s health and wellbeing. Menopause is not a barrier to radiant skin; it’s an invitation to redefine self-care. This is the time to lean into science, wellness, and rituals that nourish your skin and your spirit.
The Link Between Menopause & Skin Health
Hormones play a powerful role in skin health. During menopause, estrogen levels naturally decline, and with that change comes visible shifts in the skin’s structure and behaviour.
Here’s what often happens during menopause:
-
Collagen loss: Up to 30% of collagen can be lost in the first five years of menopause, leading to thinner, less firm skin.
-
Dryness & dehydration: Estrogen helps skin retain moisture. When levels drop, skin often feels drier, rougher, or more sensitive.
-
Slower cell turnover: The skin doesn’t renew as quickly, contributing to dullness and uneven texture.
-
Increased sensitivity: The protective barrier weakens, leaving skin prone to irritation.
For many women, these changes feel sudden. Products that once delivered results may no longer seem effective. This can feel frustrating but it doesn’t have to. With the right support, menopausal skin can still glow with vitality.
What Menopausal Skin Really Needs
The key to navigating this stage is listening to your skin’s changing needs and choosing products that are both effective and restorative.
1. Hydration & Barrier Support
Menopausal skin craves moisture and protection. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid draw water into the skin, while ceramides and niacinamide strengthen the barrier, locking in hydration and reducing sensitivity.
2. Collagen & Firmness
As collagen declines, skin benefits from retinoids to boost renewal, along with peptides to help restore firmness. Antioxidants such as vitamin C defend against free radical damage and support brightness.
3. Gentle Renewal
While exfoliation remains important, menopausal skin can be more reactive. Choosing PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) or balanced AHAs allows for renewal without stripping, helping to smooth roughness and improve radiance.
4. Soothing & Calm
Ingredients like ceramides, aloe vera, and oat extracts calm irritation, restore balance, and make skincare feel like a ritual of relief as well as results.
The right blend is not about chasing youth, but about supporting skin through its evolution restoring resilience, balance, and glow.
Beyond Skin — Self-Care as Women’s Health
At Kenzako, we see menopause as more than a skin story, it’s a wellbeing story. Skincare rituals can be a grounding practice, a daily moment of calm in the midst of change.
Wellbeing tips for women during menopause:
-
Prioritise rest: Sleep disruption is common. Night creams rich in soothing actives (like encapsulated lavender in our Renewing PM Cream) can support both skin recovery and relaxation.
-
Move your body: Exercise boosts circulation, improves mood, and helps maintain collagen health.
-
Nutrition for skin: Foods rich in omegas, antioxidants, and phytoestrogens (like soy, flax, and matcha) can help nourish skin from within.
-
Mindful moments: Journaling, meditation, or simply slowing down with your skincare routine can help anchor emotional wellbeing.
Self-care isn’t indulgence! It’s women’s health. And during menopause, it’s more important than ever.
