Managing Menopausal Skin: A Clinician’s Review

The review discusses the impact of declining oestrogen and progesterone levels during menopause on skin, hair, and vulval tissues, causing symptoms like dryness and hair thinning. Oestrogen is vital for skin structure and hydration, and its deficiency accelerates aging and affects hair growth. While hormone replacement therapy can help, its effectiveness for skin conditions needs more research. The review stresses the importance of clinicians addressing these symptoms and calls for rigorous evaluation of menopause-related products to provide evidence-based guidance, highlighting the need for further research to develop targeted treatments.
