Menopause Awareness Month: Embracing change, empowering women and supporting your Skin & Hair
At Holmes of Beauty in Bournemouth, we’re celebrating Menopause Awareness Month by shining a light on a topic that deserves more open conversation — how menopause affects your skin and hair, and how the right professional care and products can help you look and feel your best through every stage of life.
Celebrating Women and Every Stage of Change
Menopause is a natural transition every woman experiences — a powerful reminder of our bodies’ resilience and evolution. While it’s often associated with hot flushes and hormonal changes, it also brings visible effects to your skin and hair.
At Holmes of Beauty, we believe in celebrating women and supporting them through every cycle, helping you feel confident, radiant, and cared for — inside and out.
How Menopause Affects Your Skin
During menopause, the drop in oestrogen levels can lead to:
💧 Dryness and dehydration – skin may feel tighter or more sensitive.
🌿 Loss of collagen and elasticity – causing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.
🌸 Increased pigmentation – hormonal changes can trigger dark spots or uneven tone.
🔥 Breakouts and congestion – as oil production becomes unpredictable.
Your skin may start behaving differently — and that’s where medical-grade skincare like Obagi makes all the difference.
Obagi Products Perfect for Menopausal Skin
Obagi’s advanced formulas are clinically backed and designed to work at a cellular level — helping restore balance, hydration, and radiance.
🌞 Vitamin C (Obagi Professional-C® Serums)
Brightens dull skin, reduces pigmentation, and boosts collagen — perfect for restoring glow and clarity.
🌙 Retinol (Obagi Retivance® / ELASTIderm®)
Stimulates cell turnover, improves texture, and smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Ideal for restoring firmness and tone.
💧 Hyaluronic Acid (Obagi Hydrate® / Hydrate Luxe®)
Deeply hydrates and plumps, replenishing the moisture menopausal skin often loses.
🌿 Niacinamide (Obagi Nu-Derm® range)
Soothes sensitivity, strengthens your skin barrier, and helps balance uneven tone or redness.
At Holmes of Beauty Bournemouth, we personalise every Obagi routine to your unique skin type, helping you achieve real, lasting results.
How Menopause Affects Your Hair
Hormonal fluctuations can also impact your scalp and hair health. Reduced oestrogen and progesterone levels can cause:
💇♀️ Thinner or finer hair
💆♀️ Dryness or brittleness
🌼 Slower growth and lack of shine
But don’t worry — with the right Redken professional care, your hair can thrive again.
