During this phase, oestrogen levels begin to change and while some may experience dry skin with loss of collagen, others may experience breakouts caused by erratic changes in hormonal levels. These breakouts are commonly found along the chin and jawline. Others may observe increased skin sensitivity and hair growth on the head now seems to make its way to your face. Not everyone experiencing menopause will encounter all of these changes, but one thing is for certain, a decrease in collagen production is expected for every woman undergoing this stage in life.
