Stage: Perimenopause
Skin Concerns: Breakouts, Redness and Dryness
Decoding Perimenopause
Women typically enter perimenopause between 45 and 47, a phase that can last 4–10 years. As oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate, skin—rich in oestrogen receptors—changes noticeably. Perimenopause can look like: dryness, sensitivity, inflammation, hormonal breakouts—often along the jawline and chin—rough texture, flaking, itching, and sometimes tingling due to shifts in hydration and nerve function.
What is a VISIA machine?
A VISIA machine is a high-tech imaging system that uses multi-spectral and UV photography to analyse skin in depth.
Taylah discovered: “Dimi had underlying inflammation and dehydration due to barrier impairment. After 90 days, we observed a restored barrier, improved hydration, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines.” – Taylah Hampton, National Education Manager.
What encouraged you to take part in the 90-Day RATIONALE trial, and how were your skin concerns affecting you before starting?
“I’d known about RATIONALE for a while and had always used expensive skincare, but over the years it became less of a priority. My skin was generally good apart from occasional breakouts. Once I started using RATIONALE religiously, I noticed how hydrated my skin felt almost immediately.”
Were there any products within your ritual that made the biggest difference to your skin?
“Definitely #1 The Strengthening Serum—it’s incredible. I also loved #4 The PreCleanse Balm and #4 The Nourishing Cleanser. They left my skin feeling so clean but still hydrated. Hydration became really important for my dryness and keratosis, and Taylah has since prescribed a clarifying product for that.”
“I feel confident in my skin again ... Everyone’s noticed the change. It’s changed how I look after my skin and how I feel about myself. We all want instant results, and for skincare to deliver that kind of transformation—it honestly blew my mind.”
“I used to be someone who’d go to bed with makeup on and just use wipes, but now I actually look forward to cleansing my face. The sensorial element of the products, especially the essential oils, made it feel calming and intentional. It’s helped me build a real connection with my skin.”
What’s something you’d like all women to know about their skin during perimenopause and post-menopause?
“Don’t give up on your skin. You just need to commit for one week—you’ll see results so quickly it’ll motivate you to keep going. It’s like joining the gym; the hardest part is starting. Once you see those improvements, it becomes easy. We all want instant results, and for skincare to deliver that kind of transformation—it honestly blew my mind.”
