How Menopause Affects Hair, Lashes and Brows

Menopause is a natural biological transition in a woman’s life, typically occurring in the late 40s to early 50s. It marks the end of menstrual cycles, and the accompanying changes in hormone levels, particularly declines in estrogen and progesterone, can lead to a cascade of physical effects, many of which impact appearance and self-esteem.  

Common skin, hair, and beauty changes during and after menopause include:

• Thinning hair or hair loss: Many women notice a reduction in hair density, increased shedding, or widening of the hair part due to hormonal changes.
• Dryness and fragility: Skin, lashes, brows, and hair strands may become drier, more brittle and less resilient.
• Reduction in brow or lash fullness: Brows and lashes may thin, making facial features appear less defined.
• Changes in pigmentation and aging signs: Wrinkles, sagging, or uneven tone may become more evident as the skin’s collagen and elasticity decline.

Because many women consider hair, brows, and lashes part of their self-image, these outward changes can feel especially intimate and distressing.

While hormone replacement therapy (HRT), nutraceuticals, diet, and lifestyle changes are commonly discussed in menopause management, topical beauty products can also play a supportive role in maintaining hair and lash health. This is where Revive7 Beauty can help address some of the cosmetic challenges that arise during menopause.

One of the clearest applications is for lashes. As estrogen declines, many women experience thinning lashes.  Revive7’s Plus Lash Serum is designed to strengthen, thicken, and lengthen lashes while providing hydration that sensitive or menopausal skin often needs. All Revive7 products avoid prostaglandin analogues, which in some lash serums can have side effects like irritation or pigment changes. 

Hair thinning or increased shedding is a common menopause symptom. Revive7 Hair Oil nourishes hair follicles, reduces breakage, and improves texture. Hair loss from menopause can be multifactorial (hormonal, nutritional, genetic), Revive7 Hair Oil can be a vital tool in 

Revive7 Brow Serum is a stronger formulation than the lash serum and is applied with a doe-shaped wand. It encourages thicker and fuller brows. 

Revive7 Sculpt Brow line includes a Brow Gel, Brow Tint and Brow Pencil. These three products can be used as a trio or individually to enhance the shape, colour and illusion of the brow. 

Menopause often brings increased skin sensitivity, dryness, and reduced tolerance for aggressive ingredients. The benefit of Revive7’s minimalist formulations is that they reduce the chance of irritation. Revive7 Plus Lash Serum is geared toward sensitive and mature eyes, providing extra hydration and anti-aging peptides without harsh irritants.Fewer ingredients reduce the risk of adverse reactions while still providing positive results.

✔ Patch Test – even though Revive7 is relatively gentle, test any new product on a small area (e.g., behind the ear) for a few days, especially if you have sensitive or thinning skin.

✔ Use on clean makeup free skin – morning and night.

✔ Lashes – apply the Revive7 Lash Serum or Plus Lash Serum to the clean upper lash line 1-2 times per day. You should see visible results within 7–28 days with consistent use.

✔ Brows – use Revive7 Brow Serum, which has a slightly higher concentration for brow follicles. Apply morning and night. Results are usually noticed after 14 days.

Revive7 Hair Oil: Use on the scalp or hair ends to help nourish follicles, reduce breakage, and improve texture. Massage oil into the scalp or rub on the ends. 

Remember to be consistent, hair growth cycles are slow, and with hormonal fluctuations, results may take longer to see. Do not expect overnight miracles. For best outcomes, combine Revive7 with good nutrition including adequate protein, iron and essential nutrients (e.g., biotin, vitamin D, zinc), stress management (high stress may worsen hair shedding) and avoiding harsh chemical or thermal treatments that may exacerbate fragility.
