It’s common knowledge that menopause wreaks havoc on our hormones, but did you know the effect that it can have on your skin?
Oestrogen is a key ingredient in maintaining healthy skin, stimulating the production of elastin, hyaluronic acid and collagen.
But when menopause hits, our oestrogen levels decline, causing dryness, sensitivity, and loss of elasticity – and this leads to skin sagging, fine lines, wrinkles and sometimes even acne.

‘As there is a relationship between collagen production, skin thickness, and lack of oestrogen, the skin is much thinner in menopause,’ explained GP and Dermatology Doctor Dr Sonia.
‘Skin cell renewal also slows down, leading to dull and rough skin. The skin gets even dryer, showing more pronounced lines and wrinkles.’
Enter the brand-new treatment mask Menopause Faace. This specialised skin care product cares for your skin in menopause by plumping, smoothing and hydrating for a youthful glow.
Faace founder Jasmine Wicks-Stephens explained how it’s important to raise awareness on skin changes during menopause and ensure women have the right products to help address their changing skin.
‘My mum isn’t really any different to me,’ Jasmine explained. ‘We like the same shops, clothes and beauty brands but, like when we launched Period Faace to help normalise the period conversation when looking for something to pacify menopausal skin problems, I couldn’t find anything that really spoke to me or her.

‘So, Menopause Faace has been born from the same need as our other hero masks; fuss-free TLC for your skin when you need it most. It’s does-what-it-says-on-the-bottle beauty that’s been designed to have shelf-appeal.’
Whether left on for 20 minutes or overnight, the Menopause Faace treatment mask, which costs £29, is packed with all the good stuff to help alleviate skin issues associated with menopause. This moisturising mask will give a menopausal complexion its mojo back.
Key ingredients include rose water and safflower seed oil to tackle dryness, which Dr Sonia revealed is one of the commonest reported symptoms, adding how its ‘really important to look for skincare ingredients that hold moisture into the skin to help during this phase’.

Along with deeply hydrating rose water, it also loaded with fatty-acid rich rosehip oil, hailed as an anti-ageing weapon for minimising fine lines and wrinkles.
It also boasts antioxidants C and E, carrot seed and pomegranate oil to keep skin plump and healthy, while zinc and geranium are added into the mix to ward off breakouts.
The result? A nourished and replenished complexion for a radiant, healthy, youthful-looking glow.
Even better, for every Menopause Faace you buy, the brand will donate to The Menopause Charity. This is an organisation launched by menopause specialist Dr Louise Newson that supports those who need help and advice to navigate the rollercoaster ride.
