It’s time to broaden understanding of the impact of menopause on the skin, we can do this together.
Over the last year, we’ve seen increased coverage of menopause-related issues in the media as experts, celebrities and real women share their stories and advice. Many of you will have discussing this more with you clients too. This is great news as it raises awareness of the many different symptoms women can experience during menopause – aside from the well-reported hot flushes.
But we believe there is still some way to go to ensure that the full impact of menopause is understood. This will enable women to navigate through menopause as confidently as possible, with all the information they need about the different symptoms they may encounter along the way. Including how it affects skin health!
So, to coincide with this year’s Menopause Awareness Month, AesthetiCare commissioned a poll of 1,000 women to ask them about their understanding of how menopause impacts skin health.
We surveyed a wide range of women, including those with some symptoms, those currently going through and those who have finished the menopause.
The results showed us that:
of women were unaware that the menopause could have a considerable impact on the condition of their skin
felt they couldn’t go to a professional about the changes they were experiencing in their skin
Just read that last point again: “92% felt they couldn’t even go to a professional about these changes”. WOW!
These results highlight the impact skin health has for a woman’s confidence and what a valuable role we, in the professional skin industry working together in partnership, have to play!
Together we can help educate and provide a greater understanding of the change’s menopause causes to the skin. This will enable women will be able to take positive steps to address many of the unwanted skin changes they may be experiencing. That’s why initiatives such as Menopause Awareness Month are so important as we can raise awareness around menopause and provide information and advice for women, throughout all stages of their menopause.
Commenting on the findings of the Emepelle study, consultant dermatologist Dr Emma Wedgeworth says:
“As a dermatologist, I see women experiencing profound changes to the skin, which can be debilitating and distressing – especially if this has never been an issue in the past, as proven in these findings.”

How Emepelle helps tackle changes to the skin caused by menopause
Emepelle is the first and only skincare range to feature MEP Technology®, a new class of cosmeceutical ingredient, designed specifically to reinvigorate the natural functions of skin affected by the declining oestrogen levels during menopause.
Emepelle rejuvenates menopausal skin by encouraging the skin to behave as if the oestrogen were still there. MEP is non-hormonal which means it doesn’t add oestrogen to the body. Instead, it encourages key skin cells to activate new oestrogen receptors. This process helps restore lost collagen for younger-looking skin that’s hydrated, brighter and firmer.
