Why do you get dry skin during menopause?
Dry skin poses a prevalent issue among older women experiencing perimenopause. With advancing age, our skin loses its ability to retain water. Our oestrogen and collagen levels both play a part in our skin’s natural moisture levels and its ability to create a waterproof barrier that holds in moisture. During the initial phases of menopause, the production of oestrogen and collagen can decrease significantly, which can impact on the appearance of your skin's health and appearance.
How to deal with dry skin during menopause
If you have mature skin, you may notice that soap can be drying, so opting for a mild and pH-balanced cleanser will ensure your skin stays clean but also hydrated. To ensure maximum moisture retention, generously apply your moisturiser throughout the day and after bathing.
Vichy’s Neovadiol range is the result of more than 14 years of research into understanding how hormonal changes can affect your skin during menopause.

Relieving very dry skin during menopause
Maintaining a slightly acidic pH level is essential for healthy-looking skin. However, as we age, the pH level of our skin also changes. After the age of 50, it gets higher and becomes more prone to sensitivity. To address this skin concern, Vichy’s Neovadiol Rose Platinum Night ensures that your skin receives nourishment and support during these skin changes due to menopause. It has been specifically formulated to care for mature skin and is enriched with natural origin ingredients that include shea butter and beeswax.
