Let's talk about acne. Oh, did you think you’d left that behind in high school? The truth is, acne can show up at any age, especially for women who have more hormonal imbalances throughout their lives (thanks periods and pregnancies… and of course, perimenopause).
Acne is an inflammatory disorder of the skin and is a common condition that happens when hair follicles under the skin become clogged and irritated. Sebum - oil that helps keep skin from drying out - and dead skin cells clog the pores, which leads to outbreaks of lesions, commonly called pimples or zits.
The skin has sebaceous (oil) glands that connect to the hair follicle through a pore. In healthy skin, the sebaceous glands make sebum that empties onto the skin surface through the pore. Keratinocytes, a type of skin cell, line the follicle. Normally as the body sheds skin cells, the keratinocytes rise to the surface of the skin and slough off. When someone has acne, the hair, sebum, and keratinocytes all stick together inside the pore. This prevents the keratinocytes from shedding and keeps the sebum from reaching the surface of the skin. The mush of oil and cells allows bacteria that live on the skin to grow in the plugged follicles and cause inflammation—swelling, redness, heat, and pain. When the wall of the plugged follicle breaks down, it spills the bacteria, skin cells, and sebum into nearby skin, creating lesions or pimples. You can learn more about the science of acne here.
Hormones play a huge role in keeping everything running smoothly in our bodies, including our skin. But sometimes, things change and we are left wondering why pimples start popping up out of nowhere.
Let’s take a look at the hormones that can impact our skin:
Ensuring an adequate level of progesterone in perimenopause can go a long way to keeping acne away. The unpredictableness of progesterone during these years is often a significant contributor to acne. After menopause, ensuring sufficient estrogen and progesterone will help keep skin healthy and strong.
Sadly, it’s not just hormones we have to watch out for… Other factors can also play a role in adult acne:
Now, let's get down to the good stuff - what can we do?
For some women, it’s not adult acne that bothers them, it’s the (often sudden) increase in fine lines and wrinkles that can occur during perimenopause that gets to them!
During perimenopause, estrogen levels do start to drop and this can cause dry, thinning skin. This can also lead to wrinkles and age spots on the face. Decreased estrogen levels can cause other skin issues such as eczema or psoriasis flare-ups. Another type of skin change during perimenopause is thinning of the skin which occurs due to decreased collagen production in the body. This results in sagging and wrinkles appearing on the face as well as other areas such as hands or neck.
If you’re free from acne, but worried about fine lines, there are options! We wrote about skin care options in this blog on all things skin! But, we also covered how you can use Silky Peach cream on your face (as well as your vulva) to help with fine lines and wrinkles!
