Skincare After 40: Practical Care for Perimenopause
Overview This course guides women in perimenopause through evidence-based, realistic skincare strategies that address changing skin needs. Learn how hormonal shifts affect texture, hydration, pigmentation, sensitivity, and barrier function — and build a simple, effective routine that fits busy lives. Emphasis is on safe ingredient choices, sensible layering, and gentle correction of common concerns like dryness, thinning, redness, and acne flare-ups.
Who it’s for
Women aged 40+ entering or experiencing perimenopause
Those noticing changes in skin tone, elasticity, moisture, or breakouts
Beginners and intermediate skincare users seeking streamlined, nonprescriptive guidance
Anyone who wants to adapt their routine to hormonal transition without harsh treatments
What you’ll learn
Perimenopause and skin: clear, concise explanation of how declining estrogen and other hormonal shifts change collagen, sebum, barrier function, and pigmentation
Skin assessment: how to evaluate your skin type, current condition, and sensitivities at home
Core routine building blocks: gentle cleansing, hydration, barrier repair, daytime protection, and targeted evening treatments
Ingredient literacy: how retinoids, peptides, vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, azelaic acid, and gentle acids work — plus when to avoid or layer them
Managing sensitivity and inflammation: choosing low-irritation actives, introducing treatments safely, and recognizing contact dermatitis vs. hormonal flare
Addressing pigmentation and redness: practical approaches for hyperpigmentation, melasma risk, and persistent redness
Acne in perimenopause: causes, non-steroidal options, and balancing acne treatment with dryness prevention
Sun protection and prevention: sunscreen types, daily application habits, and additional photoprotection strategies
Customizing routines: morning vs. evening routines, how to simplify or intensify based on goals, travel and budget-friendly options
When to see a dermatologist or esthetician: red flags, prescription options, and how to communicate concerns effectively
Format and features
Skin assessment worksheet and step-by-step routine templates
Ingredient quick-reference guide and safe layering chart
Practical demos: building AM/PM routines, introducing actives, sunscreen application
Optional 1:1 mini-consult slots for personalized troubleshooting
Instructor Led by a skincare aesthetician with experience in dermatologic skincare for mature skin, trained in ingredient science and client-centered routine design.
