Skin can feel drier or more sensitive during midlife. Start with a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and daily sun protection, and introduce new products one at a time. Persistent irritation or a changing skin lesion warrants a dermatologist's assessment.
Read about dry skin →Comfort comes before coverage. Try moisturizing first, choose makeup that feels good on your skin, and remove it gently at day's end. If a product stings or causes a rash, stop using it and consider a dermatologist's advice.
Explore a gentler skin routine →Hair thinning has several possible causes, including hereditary patterns and medical conditions. Avoid self-diagnosing from a photo or buying a 'hormone fix' on a promise; a dermatologist can help identify the cause and discuss options.
Learn about hair loss from the AAD →For dry skin, shorter warm showers and a fragrance-free moisturizer after bathing can help reduce discomfort. Sudden, severe or persistent changes deserve an individual assessment, especially if there is pain, bleeding or a new rash.
