Top Products for Dry Skin in Perimenopause (My Daily Combo)

My Go-To Skincare Combo for Dry, Perimenopausal Skin

I’ve always gravitated toward natural and organic products—especially when it comes to what I put on my skin. I care a lot about what goes into the ingredients, and now that I’m in my 40s (hello, perimenopause and dry skin!), that’s become even more important to me.

These days, I’m all about skincare that’s gentle, nourishing, and effective without any harsh or harmful stuff. I’ve been on the lookout for products that not only moisturize but also offer anti-aging benefits—and I’m happy to say I’ve found my dream duo!

About a year ago, while browsing through Healthy Options, I stumbled upon the Andalou Naturals line. I didn’t know then that these two products would become my everyday essentials, but here we are—one year later, and I’m still using and believe in what it do for my skin.

1. Andalou Rejuvenating Cream - Plant-Based Retinol Alternative

My day and night cream superstar

Living in a tropical country where it feels like summer year-round, I’m super picky about moisturizers. I want something light and fast-absorbing because I really can’t stand that heavy, sticky feeling some creams leave behind.

This one? It easily absorbs right into my skin and feels incredibly soothing. The scent is subtle—not overpowering or artificial—which I love. It just smells clean and calming, almost like it has a little healing magic in it.

The key ingredient is Bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol that comes from the Babchi plant. It helps with fine lines, firmness, texture, and evening out skin tone—all without the irritation traditional retinol can cause.

I use this cream both in the morning and at night, always layering it under my sunscreen during the day.

2. Andalou Lift & Firm Cream

For that added hydration and glow

After applying the rejuvenating cream and letting it absorb, I follow up with this one. The scent is even lighter—barely there, actually—which I appreciate.

What really sold me on this cream is the Hyaluronic Acid. Since my skin tends to be dry, that’s one ingredient I always look for. It gives my face that extra boost of hydration while also helping to plump and firm the skin.

It also contains DMAE and açai berries—amazing antioxidants that support skin vitality and smoothness. But honestly, what I love most is how soothing and calming it feels every time I apply it.

The Results?

Fresh, dewy, and glowing skin every single morning. 🌿✨

My face feels soft, looks brighter, and has that youthful, glassy look (but not greasy or overdone).

These two products have become my daily ritual—and I truly notice the difference when I skip them.

If you’ve been struggling with dryness or are looking for a clean skincare duo that actually works, I highly recommend giving these a try. You can find them at Healthy Options or grab them online through Amazon.

Let me know if you try them—I’d love to hear how they work for you!
