Navigating the Remarkable Journey of Menopause and Its Impact on Your Skin
Although a natural and transformative phase in a woman’s life, menopause can bring dramatic changes to your skin. It can become thinner, less elastic, drier, and sadly, more prone to breakouts and irritation. However, these shifts in your skin are normal and frustrating, especially when you had previously had stable, glowing, and healthy skin.
Why Does Menopause Affect Our Skin?
Oh, those lovely hormones, especially the dreaded but loved EsTrOgEn … play an essential role in regulating our skin’s health.
For Example:
- wound healing
- barrier repair
- skin elasticity and thickness
- collagen production
- maintaining skin hydration
100% not fair. Rude, even. As we age, our skin has the audacity, the sheer nerve, to shift and … stop supporting itself.
All part of a “natural process,” they say. But tell that to the fine lines, dryness, and sudden sensitivity showing up uninvited.
How About Some Ideas to Enrich Your Menopause Skin?
1. When using a moisturizer, try layering it over a serum or hydrator for extra plumping.
2. Always be gentle with your skin. Using non-foaming cleansers is imperative.
Use gentle enzyme-based exfoliation only and use it 1-2 times per week.
3. Ceramides, Ceramides, Ceramides. They are your aging skin’s best friend.
4. Avoid fragrances and drying alcohol.
5. Make sure your products contain Peptides and Antioxidants.
6. If you are experiencing acne-prone skin, try using less invasive products and try to incorporate Niacinamide into your routine first.
7. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, rain or shine
