Menopause is a natural biological state when the reproductive period in a woman's life ends. Hormonal changes, particularly a decrease in oestrogen levels, significantly affect all tissues with oestrogen receptors, including the skin. The present article summarizes how menopause affects skin health and describes the currently available therapeutic approaches to managing these changes that are manifested as skin ageing, dryness, loss of collagen, and increased risk of some dermatological conditions. It also explores the options available to mitigate these effects, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), topical treatments, lifestyle modifications, and novel therapies.

Keywords: menopause, skin ageing, skin changes, skin atrophy.
