Menopause is a milestone in a woman\u2019s life. In addition to the end of the menstrual cycle, the body goes through hormonal changes that directly affect the skin<\/strong>. Many women notice that suddenly, more wrinkles<\/strong>, expression lines, and even sagging start to appear.<\/p>\n

But why does this happen? And most importantly: what can you do to improve it? Let\u2019s understand together.<\/p>\n

Why do wrinkles increase during menopause?<\/h2>\n

To understand the appearance of wrinkles, we need to look at the three layers of the skin<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1. Epidermis (outer layer)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the first barrier of protection against the environment. During menopause, it becomes thinner and drier<\/strong> because the natural production of oils decreases. This leaves the skin dull, rough, and more prone to flaking and fine lines.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 It\u2019s as if the skin\u2019s \u201cprotective shield\u201d loses strength.<\/p>\n

2. Dermis (middle layer)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here we find collagen and elastin<\/strong>, fibers that provide firmness and elasticity. With the drop in estrogen, the body can lose up to 30% of its collagen in the first 5 years of menopause<\/strong>. The result? Deeper wrinkles, marks around the eyes and mouth, and a looser skin texture.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 Think of the dermis as the \u201cstructure\u201d of the skin. When it weakens, everything sags.<\/p>\n

3. Hypodermis (deep layer)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the layer where fat cells<\/strong> are located, giving volume and support to the face. During menopause, this fat decreases, leaving the face \u201cdeflated,\u201d with sagging cheeks and more laxity in the chin and neck area.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 The hypodermis works like a natural \u201ccushion,\u201d which gradually diminishes over time.<\/p>\n
