Menopause officially begins one year after your last period; it brings with it some noticeable changes to your skin and hair. As hormone levels plummet, your skin can become dry, slack, and thin. You may notice more hair on your face and less on your scalp. We?ve all spent time in the sun without sun protection. Now is the time you will see the effects as ageing causes everything to slow down and damage form years ago will now show. Age spots and larger areas of darker skin can appear on your face, hands, neck, arms, or chest. Skin cancer and pre-cancerous skin growths are more common.
