When it comes to caring for your skin through perimenopause and menopause, understanding the unique needs of Australian skin becomes even more important. Hormonal changes can affect everything from hydration levels to skin firmness, making quality skincare more than just a luxury. It's about supporting your skin through significant biological changes.
This is where Australian family-owned brand Ella Baché brings seven decades of skincare expertise to the table.
As oestrogen levels fluctuate during perimenopause and decline during menopause, your skin experiences several changes. Decreased collagen production can affect firmness and elasticity, while reduced sebum production may lead to dryness. Many women notice their skin feels different, looks different, and responds differently to products that once worked well.
Gina Cook, Ella Baché's National Training Manager, emphasises the importance of targeted skincare during these transitions: "Each skincare solution should address specific concerns with key ingredients that target skin hydration, biological ageing and age prevention."
Formulated for Australian conditions, from harsh UV exposure to varying humidity levels, Ella Baché's approach recognises that our environment plays a significant role in how our skin ages and responds to hormonal changes. Their recent expansion of the Superfluid Great SPF50+ Skin Tint range, with two new shades including Neutral Beige and Natural Beige, reflects an understanding that sun protection remains critical throughout all life stages.
With up to 95% of melanomas caused by UV exposure, and melanoma being one of the most common cancers for those aged 20-39, daily broad-spectrum SPF50+ protection enriched with ingredients like Green Tea Antioxidants, Aloe Vera, Kakadu Plum extracts and Pentavitin® hydration becomes essential, not optional.
Ella Baché's approach demonstrates their understanding that skin requirements evolve throughout different life stages, with formulations designed to support skin rejuvenation, hydration, and firmness as hormonal changes occur.
Their product philosophy recognises that comprehensive skincare involves layering complementary products rather than relying on single solutions. Day creams, night creams, serums and eye creams are formulated to work together, addressing the multiple aspects of skin changes during menopause. The practical inclusion of different product sizes also acknowledges the reality of busy lives, whether you're at home or travelling.
While menopause brings many changes, maintaining skin health doesn't need to feel overwhelming. As with any aspect of menopause care, skincare is deeply personal. What works beautifully for one person may not suit another. The key is understanding your skin's changing needs and finding products formulated with quality ingredients that address those specific concerns.
Quality skincare formulated for Australian conditions and life stages can support your skin through this transition, helping you feel confident and comfortable as you navigate the changes.
