Looking for natural skin care that will help you to fight spots during the perimenopause? In this post we share our recommended routine for restoring balance and radiance to skin that’s experiencing perimenopausal acne.
What causes acne during the perimenopause?
During the perimenopause the level of oestrogen that the body produces declines. This hormone change affects both physical and mental health and can also disturb the balance of the skin.
Itchy, flushed skin are well known perimenopause skin issues but many women also experience perimenopausal acne, especially on and around the chin.
Skin care for perimenopausal acne
Experiencing perimenopausal acne can be very frustrating but by making a few changes to your skin care routine, you can keep your complexion balanced and discourage acne bacteria from entering the skin’s microbiome.
Incorporating anti-blemish products into your perimenopausal skin care routine needn’t mean overhauling your existing beauty regime, nor does it require you to invest in a multi-layer skin care routine that consists of several products.
We suggest keeping your skin care routine simple with a Prebiotic serum and/or moisturiser and using our oil serum drops to give an intense anti-blemish boost to anti-ageing face creams.

Part of our founder’s signature Age Defy+ collection, which was designed for women aged 35+, our organic oil serum can be applied neat to spots or mixed with any face cream and was made to help those experiencing spots during the perimenopause to restore balance and radiance to their complexion.
The anti-blemish drops of Age Defy+ Purifying Booster Drops allow you to personalise your perimenopausal skin care routine to meet your skin’s ever-changing needs. Simply apply a drop neat to spots or blemishes, or mix with your moisturiser to apply to all of your face.

Best cleansing routine for acne during the perimenopause
Double cleansing is another great way to encourage clear pores that are prone to congestion during the perimenopause, and you can keep the skin soft and balanced as you cleanse with our Purify & Hydrate Cream Cleanser.
Enriched with Jojoba, this non-drying cleanser for older skin features firming ingredients that help to enhance elasticity and slow skin sagging.

We also suggest exfoliating. Exfoliating will not scrub away your spots, but it will help to shed dead cells from the skin. This can help to prevent your skin from becoming congested and makes it easier for the anti-blemish actives in your perimenopausal skin care routine to enter the pores.
We suggest trying our Retinal Booster Serum. Our Retinal (Vitamin A) is 100% natural and is a gentle, fast-acting retinoid that accelerates cell turnover, increases skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and protects against free radical damage. All of this, while also being gentle on sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Is it perimenopausal acne or rosacea spots?
When we see spots on our skin, we tend to automatically reach for potent skin care products that promise anti-blemish action but, before you start spending out on spot creams for the perimenopause, it is a good idea to be sure that your pimples are being caused by acne.
Rosacea is a skin issue that can affect women of perimenopausal age and one of the symptoms of rosacea is raised bumps on the skin that can look similar to perimenopausal spots. These are usually located on the cheeks.
Skin that is prone to rosacea requires a very gentle skin care approach that uses scent-free products which are non-irritating and made with soothing actives. Our Scent Free 24-Hour Cream is the moisturiser we recommend for skin experiencing perimenopausal redness.
This non-drying moisturiser naturally soothes and protects easily irritated skin. It features soothing Evening Primrose and Squalane to soften and rehydrate skin and is packed with vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients.
