Wondering what to use when it comes to skincare, UTI relief, itching, or any of those other fun, fabulous... and downright weird parts of menopause and aging? We've got you covered - from our ladies inside our private group, to the latest scientific research, here are the products that can help when hormones can't!
Why it happens:
Declining estrogen and testosterone reduce genital blood flow, tissue elasticity, and natural lubrication. Many women report less arousal and more discomfort, which can snowball into reduced desire.
What helps (women & science recommend):
Why:
Vibratory stimulation increases genital blood flow and nerve activation, helping counteract the arousal lag of menopause. Iso-osmolar and silicone lubes minimize mucosal irritation by protecting epithelial cells, while pelvic floor exercises improve circulation, orgasm response, and continence.
Why it happens:
Estrogen supports collagen, elastin, and oil production. After menopause, skin becomes drier, thinner, and itchier. The barrier weakens, leading to irritation and sensitivity.
What helps:
Why:
Ceramides and humectants restore the skin barrier and retain water. Urea helps with desquamation (flaky buildup). Retinoids increase collagen synthesis and improve dermal thickness, which declines with estrogen loss. Sunscreen prevents accelerated photoaging that compounds hormonal skin thinning.
Why it happens:
Drier, thinner skin with more fine lines makes makeup settle into creases. Sebum production drops, so heavy powders and mattes can look mask-like.
What helps:
Why:
These formulas use lightweight emollients and humectants to create a smoother, more radiant finish without clinging to texture. Dewy foundations mimic the lost “natural oils” of younger skin, preventing a dull, flat look.
Why it happens:
Low estrogen means fewer lipids and glycosaminoglycans in skin and mucosa. The vulvar epithelium thins, becoming drier and more sensitive, while body skin gets rough and flaky.
What helps:
Why:
Occlusives (petrolatum, zinc oxide) reduce transepidermal water loss and shield fragile vulvar skin. Cotton fabrics lower friction and dampness that worsen irritation. Urea and lactic acid gently exfoliate while hydrating body skin.
Why it happens:
Estrogen withdrawal destabilizes the hypothalamus, the brain’s thermostat, making it trigger “false heat alarms.” The result: sudden flushing, sweating, and disrupted sleep.
What helps:
Why:
Cooling fabrics improve comfort but don’t stop the physiological trigger. SSRIs/SNRIs regulate serotonin pathways that influence thermoregulation. Gabapentin reduces neuronal excitability linked to hot flashes. Fezolinetant blocks NK3 receptors on KNDy neurons, directly addressing the hot-flash mechanism.
Why it happens:
Post-menopause, estrogen and progesterone decline while androgen activity becomes unopposed, shrinking hair follicles (female pattern hair loss).
What helps:
Why:
Minoxidil prolongs the follicle’s growth phase (anagen), reversing miniaturization. Low-level laser therapy stimulates mitochondria in dermal papilla cells, encouraging regrowth. Cosmetic thickening shampoos give temporary volume by coating hair strands.
Why it happens:
Estrogen decline weakens the vaginal microbiome (less lactobacillus), lowering acidity and allowing uropathogens like E. coli to colonize more easily.
What helps:
Why:
Cranberry PACs reduce bacterial adhesion to bladder cells. Hydration dilutes bacteria and supports flushing. Avoiding harsh soaps helps maintain natural microbiota balance.
Why it happens:
Hot flashes, cortisol dysregulation, and reduced melatonin all contribute to fragmented sleep. Stress and mood changes amplify the cycle.
What helps:
Why:
CBT-I restructures maladaptive sleep behaviors and shows durable benefits in RCTs. Weighted blankets improve parasympathetic tone. Cooling surfaces offset thermoregulatory instability. Magnesium and theanine modulate GABAergic pathways; melatonin helps realign circadian rhythms.
Why it happens:
Declining estrogen shifts fat storage from hips/thighs to the abdomen. Muscle mass drops, metabolism slows, and insulin resistance rises.
What helps:
Why:
Resistance training and protein intake stimulate muscle growth via mTOR, supporting metabolic rate. HIIT enhances insulin sensitivity. Mindful eating reduces cortisol-driven overeating and improves body awareness.
Why it happens:
Hormonal shifts, reduced blood flow, vaginal dryness, body image changes, and fatigue can all dampen sexual desire. Psychological factors, like stress and relationship strain, amplify the challenge.
What helps:
Why:
Libido depends on dopamine, norepinephrine, and vascular response. Vibrators/lubes reduce barriers to arousal. Mindfulness restores cognitive engagement in desire. Exercise improves endorphins, body image, and blood flow. Bupropion, unlike SSRIs, enhances dopaminergic tone and has shown benefits for desire in clinical studies.
