Discover everything you need to know about Metamorphosis skincare. How it harnesses the finest natural ingredients, revolutionizes menopausal skincare with clinically proven results, and sparks an essential conversation about how we view and experience menopause.
Menopause marks a significant transformation in a woman’s life, defined as the point when she experiences her last menstrual period. When a woman has gone a full year without menstruating, she is considered postmenopausal. This transition generally happens naturally between the ages of 44 and 55.
Menopause begins as the ovaries stop producing eggs, resulting in a cessation of cyclical estrogen and progesterone production. This leads to a decline in ovarian follicles and a decrease in hormones that once played crucial roles in reproductive function, impacting various aspects of overall health and well-being. Menopause can also be induced earlier due to factors such as surgical removal of the ovaries, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Menopause occurring before age 40 is considered premature, while onset between 40 and 45 is classified as early.
Before reaching menopause, women go through a phase known as perimenopause. This transition period can start up to 7 years prior to menopause and extend up to 1 year after. It's characterized by fluctuating hormone levels, irregular menstrual cycles, and the onset of various symptoms. These symptoms can include hot flashes, night sweats, changes in menstrual flow, and occasionally premenstrual symptoms like sore breasts. During this time, menstrual cycles become unpredictable, though pregnancy is still possible.
During menopause, hormonal shifts, especially the drop in estrogen levels, have a profound effect on the skin’s structure, resilience, and appearance. Estrogen plays a key role in maintaining skin elasticity and hydration, so when levels decrease, it leads to a range of noticeable skin changes.
Estrogen is essential for collagen production, the protein that keeps skin plump and firm. With lower estrogen, collagen levels drop, causing skin to thin, sag, and lose elasticity. This often leads to a droopier appearance and the deepening of wrinkles. Peptides and ceramides, which are naturally present compounds that support skin structure, also diminish, further weakening skin firmness and elasticity.
Menopausal skin tends to lose moisture more easily as its ability to retain water declines. This is due to a weakened skin barrier resulting in higher transepidermal water loss (TDWL). Making skin rougher and more prone to irritation, especially in drier environments. Additionally, as estrogen declines, the skin’s pH level shifts, making it more sensitive. Existing conditions like eczema or rosacea may worsen, and the skin may react adversely to synthetics, fragrances, or harsh ingredients.
With age, sun exposure often leads to age spots or hyperpigmentation, which can become more pronounced post-menopause. Sun protection is vital during this phase to prevent further sun damage.

Interestingly, menopause can also lead to an increase in acne due to fluctuating androgen levels, which can boost sebum (oil) production. However, as the skin is thinner and more delicate, you need to treat this kind of acne with gentle balancing ingredients that clears pores without overdying. The Metamorphosis Recovery pH Balancing Cream Cleanser and Flawless Vitamin C Brightening Exfoliating Powder are skin saviors when combating menopausal acne.
A decline in estrogen can also lead to the appearance of facial hair, particularly on the chin and jawline. This is due to the relatively higher presence of androgens, which can stimulate hair growth.
Metamorphosis skincare is expertly formulated and clinically proven to effectively address menopausal skin needs. With powerful natural ingredients, including peptides, ceramides, and hydrating botanicals, this range works to support skin through hormonal changes. Metamorphosis helps boost collagen production, promote elasticity, and encourage healthy cell turnover, enhancing skin structure and resilience. These compounds also replenish moisture levels to combat dryness and protect the weakened skin barrier, reducing transdermal water loss (TDWL) and locking in hydration. Tailored to meet your skin’s evolving needs, Metamorphosis empowers you to maintain a radiant, confident glow at any age.
What sets Metamorphosis skincare apart is its ability to redefine what it means to be truly effective 100% natural skincare for women during each stage of menopause, from peri to post-menopause. Unlike generic skincare terms like "anti-aging" or "mature skin," Metamorphosis focuses specifically on the distinct needs of menopausal skin. Trialed on a group of women aged 40-70 over a 3-month period Metamorphosis deliverd these results.
Metamorphosis skincare is carefully formulated with a powerful blend of ingredients designed to meet the evolving needs of menopausal skin. Each botanical is chosen for its scientifically proven benefits, targeting issues like dryness, loss of elasticity, and collagen depletion.
Hyaluronic Acid: Known for its exceptional hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid combats dryness by improving moisture retention in deeper skin layers. It helps keep the skin plump and smooth while enhancing elasticity and supporting a stronger skin barrier.

Phytoestrogens are 100% natural plant compounds that mimic estrogen, phytoestrogens help stimulate collagen production, restore skin firmness and elasticity, and deeply hydrate, giving the skin a youthful, plump appearance.
Ceramides these essential lipids reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, ceramides lock in moisture and prevent water loss. They protect skin cells from environmental stressors, helping the skin maintain resilience against pollutants and daily wear.
Peptides are the short chains of amino acids that encourage collagen production, peptides improve skin firmness and elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance moisture retention for a more resilient complexion.
Bakuchiol: A plant-derived alternative to retinol, bakuchiol stimulates collagen production, smooths texture and reduces fine lines. It also offers antioxidant protection, making it ideal for sensitive menopausal skin.

Wild Yam Extract: Known for its phytoestrogenic properties, wild yam supports skin elasticity and moisture retention, helping counteract dryness and loss of firmness due to hormonal changes. It also soothes irritation, promoting a balanced complexion.
These are just a few of the scientifically backed and carefully selected ingredients that deliver visible, proven results, improving the health and appearance of menopausal skin.

The Other Lips Balm is the cherry on top for women experiencing vaginal dryness, irritation, and discomfort. As estrogen naturally declines during menopause, vaginal tissues become thinner and more susceptible to irritation. This soothing vaginal moisturising balm, which also doubles as a natural lubricant (not compatible with condoms), combines nourishing shea butter, coconut oil, evening primrose, sea buckthorn, and calming essential oils like lavender and clary sage. It helps restore hydration, comfort, and elasticity to delicate tissues, alleviating discomfort caused by the decline in estrogen within the lining of the vaginal walls.

Metamorphosis goes beyond just offering solution-based skincare. It’s pioneering a new approach to how we perceive, address, and talk about menopause at every stage.

Menopause is a time for women to honor all that their bodies have achieved. It should be met with empathy, understanding, and openness, allowing space for what feels authentic to you. This phase should be approached with care, not endured in silence or despair. It’s an opportunity to celebrate ourselves and the changes we experience, shifting the paradigm for how menopause is navigated for generations to come.
