Menopause affects the skin by decreasing estrogen, which leads to dryness, thinning, and reduced elasticity due to lower collagen and hydration. This can result in more noticeable wrinkles, increased bruising, and a compromised skin barrier. Other changes include an increase in sebum, potentially causing acne, increased sensitivity, and the worsening of sun damage, leading to hyperpigmentation and sunspots.
