Hormones and Your Skin: What to Expect in Your 30s, 40s, and 50s
As we age, our skin changes, and a big part of that is due to hormones. These chemical messengers guide everything from oil production to collagen levels, and as they shift, so does the way our skin looks, feels, and behaves! Understanding what’s happening at each stage can help you adjust your routine and maintain radiant, healthy skin no matter what your age.
Your 30s: The Subtle Shift
In your 30s, your body begins to experience subtle hormonal changes. Your skin might start showing early signs of aging: fine lines, slight dryness, and uneven texture. Collagen production also begins to slow, which can make your skin less plump than it once was.
What to do:
- Focus on hydration to maintain smoothness
- Antioxidants, like vitamin C, help combat early signs of aging and sun damage
- Keep using sun protection daily to protect against environmental stressors

Your 40s: Noticeable Changes
By your 40s, hormonal shifts become more pronounced. Declining estrogen levels can lead to drier skin, loss of elasticity, and fine lines that deepen into wrinkles. Breakouts may decrease, but skin can become more sensitive, so avoiding harsh ingredients is key!
What to do:
- Prioritize rich moisturizers and serums that support collagen and elasticity
- Include gentle exfoliation to maintain a bright, even complexion
Honey Girl Recommendation:
Face & Eye Crème remains a staple, delivering hydration and nourishment with honey, royal jelly, and olive oil. Leaves skin soft, dewy, and radiant.
As your skin shows deeper lines, our Rose C Serum is perfect for brightening, evening skin tone, boosting radiance, and supporting collagen without feeling heavy or clogging pores.
For gentle exfoliation, incorporate the Facial Scrub 1-3 times per week to refresh your skin and maintain smoothness.
Your 50s and Beyond: A New Phase
In your 50s and beyond, estrogen and progesterone drop significantly, often due to menopause. This can result in pronounced dryness, skin thinning, increased sensitivity, changes in pigmentation, and slower healing.
What to do:
- Choose deeply nourishing creams and oils to restore and protect the skin barrier
- Focus on hydration, soothing ingredients, and products that help improve elasticity
- Keep routines gentle but consistent to maintain resilience
