The change in hormone levels during the menopause leads to changes in both the epidermis and the dermis. In particular, the skin becomes dry, sagging and thinning. The epidermis can lose up to 50 % of its thickness. The dermis, which is responsible for the skin's firmness and elasticity, is reduced by up to 30 %. This leads to skin symptoms such as pallor, loss of skin elasticity and a reduction in blood circulation and therefore the supply of nutrients to the skin. Spontaneous flushing and hot flushes may occur. 

In this e-learning, you will learn how to accompany your patients and clients through this exciting time in their lives and how to help the skin through the loss of elasticity, lipid and moisture deficiency during menopause.
