As hormone levels plummet, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin. Dry skin actually results from the decreasing estrogen levels in the bloodstream at the onset of menopause. Estrogen stimulates the body's production of collagen and oils, which keep the skin naturally moisturized through most of a woman's life. Menopause decreases the abundance of ceramides in the stratum corneum, ceramides are lipids (fats) that are found naturally in high concentrations in the uppermost layers of skin. As hormone levels plummet, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin. Skin cell renewal declines during this time with a lower level of sebum so skin can become dull and lack vitality if not properly looked after.
