Your skin changes before you even realise it’s happening. Many women assume menopause starts in their 50s, but the truth is, hormonal shifts begin much earlier which is known as the perimenopause. The perimenopause can start as early as your mid-30s without any initial obvious signs.  However, the perimenopause triggers collagen loss, dehydration, and reduced elasticity—making skin appear older, drier, and less firm with fine lines. This biggest misconception is that ladies don’t realise that all this is happening to their skin even though their menstrual cycle is regular. If ladies wait until their menstrual cycle stops they have already lost 30% collagen during the perimenopause phase alone.

If you’ve noticed fine lines that weren’t there before, increased dryness, or a lack of firmness, it’s not just ageing—it’s the earliest sign of hormonal change.

The Biggest Mistake Women Make? Waiting Too Long.

Collagen—the protein responsible for keeping skin plump and youthful—begins to decline as early as your mid-20s, reducing by 1–2% per year. Once perimenopause begins, this loss accelerates, leading to:

•Thinner, fragile skin that bruises more easily

•Fine lines turning into deep wrinkles faster than before

•Persistent dryness & sensitivity that skincare alone won’t fix

•Sagging along the jawline, neck, and cheeks

•Uneven skin tone & dullness due to reduced cell renewal

By the time menopause fully arrives (when periods stop), women can have lost upto 30% of their collagen. The key to maintaining youthful, resilient skin isn’t waiting until damage appears—it’s starting treatments early to protect, repair, and rebuild collagen before it’s lost. From mid thirties ladies should be actively building skincare, supplement a treatment routines to maintain as much collagen as they can to slow down the ageing process.
