A.- Many women notice changes to their skin at menopause. For some women this means dryness, age spots, or a tendency toward bruising.
For others, estrogen levels drop while male hormone levels, such as testosterone, remain the same, which can prompt acne breakouts.
While you may be tempted to reach for acne products designed for teens, your skin may not tolerate these harsh treatments as well as it might have in your younger years.
Look for products that can help clear your pores, such as those containing salicylic acid, without overdrying the skin.
If your acne doesn’t respond to treatment, consider making an appointment with a dermatologist to help address the problem.
