Post-menopausal skin aging involves slowed cellular turnover, collagen decline, and lipid barrier thinning. Collagen loss accelerates after menopause because estrogen stimulation of fibroblast collagen synthesis drops. Skin surface renewal can slow from about 28 days in the 20s to 60 days or longer by the mid-50s. Ceramide loss with age contributes to increased water loss and skin fragility.
