12. Dry skin
Menopause and dry skin almost always go hand and hand. In fact, this affectation of the skin is one of the most common external signs caused by the hormonal changes of menopause.
This is due to the fact that when a decrease in estrogenic hormones occurs, dermal tissue repair decreases significantly. Dryness of the skin is further compounded by the fact that women of menopausal age have much lower concentrations of collagen, which makes their skin much less elastic and prone to sagging and wrinkling.
