Just as your hormone levels were changing in your teenage years causing acne breakouts, a similar process is happening in your 40s-50s during menopause. As the changes in levels of oestrogen and progesterone drop, this causes the male sex hormones that women have in their body to relatively rise. As these hormones rise, the skin starts to produce excess sebum levels, clogging your pores and sometimes resulting in menopausal acne.
So, how long does menopausal acne last? The answer to this question is that it’s different for every woman. Usually menopausal acne will calm down once a woman settles into her postmenopausal hormones. For most women this can be 4 years after their last period, however sometimes it can last up to 12 years. We understand that this can be very frustrating as many of us thought our hormonal acne years were behind us! However, we do not advise you to use Florena’s products if you have acne or any other skin condition and it’s important to note that if you believe you have these skin conditions, make sure to consult your doctor or dermatologist on the best treatment.
Because of these changes the skin sees during menopause is the reason why menopause skin care is so important. Now you know how long does menopausal acne last, read on to find out the best natural skincare for menopause.
