Menopausal skin, greasy and spotty skin can often be a problem here due to hormonal imbalances. Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) increases due to the skin having a more mono-directional structure rather cross-hatched. Epidermal thickness also decreases due to lower Collagen and Elastin levels resulting in more saggy and wrinkled skin. It is vital to select efficacious moisturising actives to restore the skin barrier as well as treating spots, wrinkles and the effects of gravity (Collagen boosting activity). Age spots also begin to appear.
