Tackle breakouts
Menopausal acne is a common concern, triggered by the natural decline in oestrogen levels.
‘When oestrogen levels drop, our ovaries and adrenals will produce more androgen (the male hormone), which is responsible for hormonal acne,’ explains Pam Marshall, clinical aesthetician and co-founder of skincare clinic Mortar & Milk.
The good news is that hormonal acne tends to make itself scarce when you reach the other side of the menopause, but there are plenty of products to help keep it at bay until then. Gone are the astringent washes of our teens – the approach here is more ‘softly, softly’, combining hard-working actives with gentle, fuss-free washes and moisturisers.
