13 Skin-Care Products That Address Changes Related to Perimenopause and Menopause

_Faace Menopause Faace Mask ($39)

For anyone in the perimenopause or menopause stage who wakes up one day and feels like her skin is thinner, less firm and seriously lacking in the glow department, this mask is for them. A bevy of antioxidant benefits come from carrot seed, sea buckthorn and pomegranate oil; rose water and safflower seed oil help soothe dry areas; rosehip oil and immortelle flower help restore a youthful glow; and zinc and geranium work to fight any breakouts that might arise.

Use it like a moisturizer under makeup, or apply a thicker layer as a mask, and leave on for anywhere from five minutes to overnight, depending on your mood.

Womaness Gone in a Hot Flash ($17)

This essential oil–based micro-mist instantly soothes hot flashes and night sweats without menthol (a key ingredient in many other cooling sprays). It also has deodorizing properties, so it’s not only great to use on your face, but also other parts of your body that might be feeling the heat (even down below). Pro tip: Store it in the fridge for even more cooling action.

Suki Skincare Suki Era Facial Oil ($45)

For those who favor retinol-alternative bakuchiol, this potent oil delivers the line-smoothing benefits of the trendy plant extract, as well as a host of other perks designed for skin issues associated with both perimenopause and menopause. Jojoba oil, macadamia seed oil esters and vegan squalane are also heavy-hitters that help intensely moisturize and strengthen dry, dull, depleted skin.

PRAI Beauty Prime Time Meno-Soothe Serum ($60; coming soon)

From a brand known for its expertise in targeted skin care for women ages 40 and older comes this brand-new serum targets two of the key skin changes that occur during menopause: hot flashes and collagen loss.

Seven phytoestrogen extracts give this intensely nourishing cream its restorative powers that improve skin elasticity, hydration and other signs of aging over time.
