Skin Comfort, Sensitivity and Barrier Health

Skin and Genito-Urinary Health in Menopause

Skin changes are a natural and important part of menopause, affecting hydration, sensitivity, and how skin responds to everyday products. The skin’s barrier — its protective outer layer — can become thinner and less able to retain moisture, making skin drier, more sensitive, or prone to irritation. Similarly, hormonal changes can affect the genito-urinary tract, increasing susceptibility to urinary tract infections and vaginal discomfort due to a weakened mucosal barrier. Care in this area focuses on understanding these changes and exploring gentle, personalised strategies to protect both skin and genito-urinary health, reduce discomfort, and maintain wellbeing throughout menopause.
