SKIN that is dry and itchy is another symptom women can experience with fluctuating hormone levels during perimenopause.
Some women may find that their skin can develop blemishes and may feel very dry to touch. This is because the production of collagen which helps to maintain skin’s elasticity is reduced as estrogen levels drop in the body.
Women can report various symptoms affecting the skin as they go through menopause. Dry and itchy skin is the most common complaint and can occur in the back, arms and legs, neck, and chest. Women may also complain of skin rashes, irritation, and changes to the skin pigment.
There may be other contributing factors to skin complaints during this time, but if it has developed during menopause, it is likely that reduced hormone levels could be the cause.
To help keep skin healthy, it is important to have a healthy diet and lifestyle and avoid things that are harmful to the skin, such as smoking, dehydration, stress, skin-irritating soaps and body lotions, and overexposure to the sun.
Essential Oils that help support healthy skin include:
• Lavender
• Frankincense
• Rose
• Myrrh
• Blue Tansy
• Roman Chamomile
• Detoxification Blend
