Menopause, commonly known as, The Change, usually kicks in around age 45. It marks the end of menstruation and fertility, but it’s also the beginning of a new chapter.
Hormones such as oestrogen start to dip, and with that comes a whole grab bag of surprises: irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, tiredness, some teenage throwback breakouts (seriously, wasn’t once enough?), and yes, vaginal dryness - which we also offer a range of actives to combat!
Skin may start to feel drier, thinner, and a little less bouncy. Add to that age spots, cellulite, and sagging and suddenly gravity feels very real.
But it's not all downhill from here; it’s the beginning of knowing exactly what your skin needs and deserves.
Most menopausal skin care shout about wrinkles and age spots. And forget about everything else happening in this major life phase. We know better.
Skin in menopause needs more than just anti-aging buzzwords. With oestrogen on the decline, your skin’s natural barrier gets a bit flimsy increasing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
Plus, your epidermis (outer skin layer) becomes thinner due to a drop in collagen and elastin, meaning more sagging, more lines, and more "wait, when did that happen?" moments.
So in summary, it is vital to select productive moisturising actives to restore the skin barrier as well as treating spots, wrinkles and the effects of gravity (Collagen boosting activity), alongside age spots.
