Menopause & Skin: How Estheticians Support 40+ Clients

About this episode

This episode discusses how estheticians can support clients over 40 experiencing menopause-related skin changes.

Menopause changes skin: less estrogen means less collagen and elastin, thinner barrier, more dryness, sensitivity, hyperpigmentation, and even acne. In this episode, we break down what to watch for in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, how to ask the right intake questions, and how to adjust services without over-treating. We cover low- to medium-intensity options (hydration first, gentler exfoliation, LED, microcurrent), ingredient swaps (bakuchiol for retinol, PHA for AHA, niacinamide, ceramides, panthenol, aloe), and waxing precautions for fragile skin. Clear steps you can use this week to keep mature clients comfortable and getting results. Have an idea for an episode topic?
