Menopause & Skincare: Nourishment Through the Shifts with Botnia
At Mira Marfa, we understand that skincare isn't just about beauty—it's about supporting the body through seasons of change. Menopause marks one of the most profound of those shifts. It can arrive like a whisper or a wave, bringing changes not just internally but also to the skin: dryness, sensitivity, thinning, breakouts, and a loss of elasticity are all common. But these changes aren’t signs of fading—they’re signs of transformation. And transformation calls for care.
During menopause, estrogen levels decline, and with them, the skin can lose some of its natural ability to retain moisture and rebuild collagen. What worked in your 30s might not serve you now. But that doesn’t mean surrendering your glow—it just means nurturing it differently.
That’s why we’re proud to use Botnia Skincare in our facials and recommend it for your at-home rituals. Thoughtfully formulated and rooted in herbalism, Botnia is both gentle and potent. It was created with skin health—not trends—in mind, and its commitment to microbiome-friendly ingredients makes it ideal for skin going through hormonal shifts.
Some of our menopause-supporting favorites from Botnia include:
-
Hydrating Serum – Lightweight and deeply quenching, this serum helps rebuild the moisture barrier without overwhelming sensitive skin.
-
Soothing Repair Mask – Infused with calendula and chamomile, this mask brings relief to reactive or inflamed skin, especially when hot flashes or irritation flare.
-
Balancing Oil Cleanser – A nourishing cleanser that removes impurities without stripping, making it perfect for delicate or changing skin types.
Whether you’re navigating hot flashes, adult acne, or simply feeling new in your skin—this is a time for softness. For slowing down. For asking: what does my body need now?
At Mira, we offer facials tailored to each client, and for those in menopause or perimenopause, we take extra care to meet the skin where it is. You’re not alone in this. And your skin deserves ritual, support, and grace.
Come see us in the high desert. We’re here to walk this shift with you—skin first, heart always.
