The premenopause period is a transitional phase that can bring significant changes to your skin. Increased sensitivity, loss of elasticity, dryness... These changes require special attention. As a professional makeup artist and facialist , I explain the 5 most common mistakes to avoid to preserve the radiance and youthfulness of your skin.

đ At what age does premenopause begin?
Perimenopause can begin as early as age 35 to 45 , although some women don't feel the effects until later. This period of hormonal transition is often subtle at first, which is why many women don't realize they're already in perimenopause.
Common signs of premenopause on the skin:
Unusual dryness of the skin
Appearance of redness or increased sensitivity
Duller complexion and loss of radiance
Appearance of fine lines and marked wrinkles
Loss of firmness with progressive sagging of the skin
âĄïž If you observe these signs , it is essential to adapt your skincare routine to meet the specific needs of your premenopausal skin.
1. Using cleaners that are too harsh
During premenopause , skin becomes thinner, more reactive, and loses its ability to defend itself against external aggressions. Using overly aggressive cleansers, such as products containing sulfates or overly abrasive exfoliants, can further weaken your skin barrier.
âĄïž What to do: Choose gentle, sulfate-free cleansers that are suitable for sensitive skin. These formulas gently cleanse without damaging your skin.
2. Neglecting deep hydration
Dehydration is one of the major problems in premenopause. The skin loses water more quickly and becomes dull, uncomfortable, and prone to fine lines.
âĄïž What to do: Opt for skincare rich in hyaluronic acid , an active ingredient known for deeply hydrating and plumping the skin. I offer effective skincare products in my online storeExcellence Beauty Coaching , specially selected to provide intense and long-lasting hydration.
3. Forgetting eye care
The eye contour is the thinnest and most fragile area of the face. It is often the first to reveal signs of aging: fine lines, puffiness, dark circles, etc.
âĄïž What to do: Use a specific eye cream for this delicate area, enriched with moisturizing and smoothing active ingredients. A good eye contour will provide comfort, smooth fine lines, and brighten your eyes.
4. Not protecting your skin from the sun
Even in winter or when the sun seems to be at a premium, UV rays remain a major factor in premature skin aging. Unprotected exposure accelerates collagen loss and promotes the appearance of pigment spots.
âĄïž What to do: Incorporate SPF 50 sunscreen into your daily routine. This simple step is essential for preserving your youthful appearance and maintaining an even complexion.
5. Forgetting the importance of facial massage
With age, blood circulation slows, which can lead to a dull complexion and tired-looking skin. Facial massage is an excellent technique for boosting microcirculation and firming tissues.
âĄïž What to do: Incorporate gentle massage movements into your beauty routine to stimulate blood circulation and improve skin elasticity. Use the facial cleansing massage brush , ideal for deep cleansing the skin while providing a relaxing and invigorating massage.
