Lucinda Ellery, hair loss consultant, told us that as you age, the texture of your hair may “start to swing between dry and oily, depending on your hormones”. For sagging skin, you want to pay particular attention to the eyelids, jowls, chin, and throat. If the skin in these areas begins to lose its firmness and elasticity during menopause, it is a good idea to invest in a high-quality supplement routine and balanced diet, to help to hormones and slow down these effects. On top of this, hairs that are coming through are weaker, struggling to poke through the follicles, leading to clogging around the scalp and irritation. ‘The hair also begins to appear a little drier,’ adds Natalie. ‘This is a very gradual process and one that can be helped by shampooing every one to two days. Just like skin, your scalp can become very sensitive as the menopause begins, so it’s important you choose a shampoo that cleanses without causing any irritation or dryness.’

They judged each product on how effectively it cleaned hair and offered long-lasting oil control. They also noted any improvements to shine, smoothness, hydration and volume. Silicone is also another ingredient to be aware of, as this claims to make the hair shiny but can stress the scalp out more. Hair loss is also possible due to the changes in hormones, but keep in mind that it can also be associated with thyroid issues which are common as we get older. It’s also vital to keep an eye on your iron levels, especially if periods are heavy during peri-menopause, as this can lead to hair loss. If you are deficient in any vitamin or mineral your hair will usually be the first thing your body neglects. While a balanced diet containing all food groups is key, hair is made of protein, making adequate daily consumption of protein highly important. Aim for a 120g portion of a “complete protein” with breakfast and lunch, when nutrient requirements are greatest. Good examples are eggs, fish, lean meat, tofu, lentils, poultry and low-fat cottage cheese. 5 DIY natural remedies for a dry or irritated scalp The problem is that a lot of acne products on the shelves can cause further breakouts for women, as they are too harsh on their thinner and sensitive mature skin. Dark spots, also known as melasma, can appear on the cheeks, lips, and forehead. This is caused by a combination of hormonal changes and sun exposure throughout their life. The underlying hormone responsible for triggering the melanocytes to release too much pigment is MSH (melanocyte stimulating hormone), which becomes more active during peri-menopause.Nutrition can play a key role in scalp health. ‘Hair is a dispensable tissue –psychologically it is hugely important, but physiologically we could easily survive without it,’ says trichologist Anabel Kingsley.‘ In terms of diet this means that our hair is never given priority – it’s the last to receive any nutrients we take in and is the first part of us that gets these withheld.

An itchy scalp is a common problem that occurs during menopause and sometimes it is accompanied by visible signs, such as scabbed or flaking skin and red patches.
