- [Why Does Skin and Hair Change in Perimenopause?](https://blog.bloume.com/perimenopause/symptoms/perimenopause-skin-hair-changes-2/article.md): Skin and hair changes are some of the most commonly noticed shifts of perimenopause. Your skin can feel drier, rougher, and slower to bounce back. Your hair may turn finer, shed more easily, or change in texture. Both are recognised symptoms linked to falling oestrogen. Understanding what is happening underneath, and which practical steps support your skin and hair, can help you handle these changes with realistic expectations.
- [Practical Tips For Managing Night Sweats In Perimenopause](https://blog.bloume.com/perimenopause/symptoms/night-sweats-perimenopause-management-what-helps/article.md): Night sweats in perimenopause can leave you waking damp, hot, and wide awake at 3am. This article covers practical, nighttime steps that can help: how to keep your bedroom cool, what to wear and sleep under, how to use breathwork before bed, and when to talk to a GP about options including Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
- [Night Sweats and Sleep Disruption In Perimenopause: What Is Normal and What To Understand](https://blog.bloume.com/perimenopause/symptoms/night-sweats-perimenopause-sleep-disruption/article.md): Night sweats are a common part of perimenopause, driven by oestrogen-led changes to how your brain controls temperature. The sudden heat, drenching sweat, and chills that wake you follow a specific pattern that breaks up your sleep in its own way. This article explains what is happening in your body, how night sweats differ from general insomnia, how long they tend to last, and when to speak to your GP.
- [Perimenopause and Brain Fog Why Your Mind Can Feel Less Reliable](https://blog.bloume.com/perimenopause/symptoms/perimenopause-brain-fog-4/article.md): Perimenopause brain fog is a widely reported symptom. It can show up as trouble concentrating, losing a word mid-sentence, or walking into a room and forgetting why you came. Fluctuating oestrogen affects how clearly you think, and the disrupted sleep that is common in perimenopause piles onto the effect. Everyday things like staying hydrated, eating regular balanced meals, and keeping active can support mental clarity. If you also manage a thyroid condition, the symptoms can overlap, and a GP can help tell the causes apart.
