Menopause can bring visible changes to the skin’s look and feel - often dryness, sensitivity and a loss of bounce. For clinic owners and skin therapists, it’s a valuable opportunity to educate, personalise care and support clients with consistent, cosmetic skincare routines. This guide shares how Environ skincare can help you confidently structure conversations, treatments and retail to support clients in this stage of life.
Why menopausal skin needs a tailored approach
As hormones fluctuate through peri- to post-menopause, the skin’s barrier can feel drier and less resilient, and the appearance of fine lines may be more noticeable. A progressive routine that prioritises daily vitamin A, antioxidants and targeted peptides helps to maintain a healthy-looking complexion and comfortable skin.
Key message for teams: focus on consistency, gradual step-ups and realistic, appearance-based outcomes.
The Environ philosophy: progressive, daily skin conditioning
Environ’s step-up systems are designed to introduce increasing levels of vitamin A alongside antioxidants and peptides, helping skin look smoother, more supple and evenly toned over time.
- Skin EssentiA® (Vita-Antioxidant AVST Moisturisers 1–5): the ideal foundation to normalise and condition skin with vitamin A and antioxidants.
- Youth EssentiA® (Vita-Peptide range): a premium option for experienced vitamin A users seeking next-level products that promote a refined, radiant, more youthful-looking complexion.
- Focus Care™ boosters: selective add-ons such as HA Intensive Hydrating Serum, Tri-Peptide Complex Avance Moisturiser, Revival Masque and Seriénce™ Night Serum to personalise results.
In clinic, Environ professional treatments can be used to complement home care by helping enhance the penetration of active cosmetic ingredients.
Consultation cues: start the right conversation
- Open-ended questions: “How is your skin feeling day-to-day?” “What changes have you noticed recently?”
- Normalise the stage: Menopause is individual - your role is to personalise routine and pace.
- Set expectations: Focus on comfort, resilience and a smoother, more radiant appearance with ongoing use.
Suggested routine builders (appearance-based goals)
For dryness and tightness
- Cleanse & prep: Skin EssentiA Mild Cleansing Lotion & Skin EssentiA Botanical Infused Moisturising Toner for a gentle and hydrating start.
- Condition: Skin EssentiA® AVST 1–5 (step up gradually).
- Boost: HA Intensive Hydrating Serum for a plumper, dewy-looking finish.
- Night support: Seriénce™ Night Serum for a rested, more radiant look by morning.
For visible laxity and fine lines
- Advance: Transition suitable clients to Youth EssentiA® Vita-Peptide Serum + Defence Crème.
- Boost: Tri-Peptide Complex Avance Moisturiser to soften the look of lines.
- Refine (evenings): Revival Masque several nights a week, as tolerated, for a smoother-looking surface.
For sensitivity-prone moments
- Go gently: Pause new actives; maintain barrier-friendly cleanse and hydrate.
- Re-introduce slowly: Resume vitamin A at a previously tolerated level before stepping up again.
Always tailor frequency and step-ups to the client’s tolerance and experience with vitamin A.
In-clinic treatment pairing
Combine your usual service protocol with an Environ professional treatment for a polished finish. Post-treatment, apply a light mineral makeup, such as Jane Iredale's After Glow to help even the look of tone and boost client confidence as they leave the clinic.
- Pre-book the series: map out a 6–8 week plan that complements the client’s home care step-ups.
- Photo tracking: same lighting and angles to demonstrate visible improvements in texture and glow.
Retail talking points your team can use
- “Daily vitamin A is non-negotiable.” Consistency supports a smoother, more resilient, healthy-looking complexion.
- “Step up, don’t jump.” Gradual increases help maintain comfort and ongoing progress.
- “Personalise with boosters.” Layer hydration, peptide and refining options as skin tolerates.
- “Protect the daytime result.” Encourage the application of skin-loving make-up, such as Jane Iredale, so clients feel confident returning to work or social plans.
