How Your Skin Changes During Menopause
For all women, menopause is an incredibly complicated process. When your hormones change, your body starts changing: hot flushes, night sweats, dryness, mood swings, hair growth, hair loss, acne, insomnia, and more. But did you know that menopause significantly affects your skin?
The reason that menopause affects the skin is because women need oestrogen to stimulate skin-smoothing collagen and oils. When menopause approaches, oestrogen levels decrease, resulting in dryness and sagging of the skin, acne, and fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, with testosterone no longer masked in the women’s body, some women may develop unwanted hair growth, particularly facial hair.
Tips for Better Skin During and After Menopause:
- Hydrate & Protect – Make applying moisturizer and SPF 40+ sunscreen your daily routine
- Eat your Antioxidants – Eating foods with antioxidants can make the collagen in your skin stronger
- Stock up on Soy – Soy is rich in isoflavones, plant-based compounds that act like estrogen in your body, This can help with hot flushes and night sweats
- Skin Rejuvenation – You are now more prone to sun damage. If you are noticing sun spots or age spots, a solution is skin treatment SkinPen® Microneedling and clinic based Chemical Peels which can provide a clearer and more youthful complexion with no minimal to no downtime
- Laser Hair Removal – Whether it’s unwanted hair on your chin, upper lip, legs, or where ever, laser hair removal can relieve the embarrassment and build back your confidence with smooth, silky skin.
- Wrinkle Treatments & Dermal Fillers – If you are noticing more fine lines and wrinkles, Dermal Filler and Wrinkle treatments are temporary solutions that can restore and correct facial aging.
- Maintain Your Youthful Glow– ElysiPhi products like Emepelle, Skinade , and at bespoke home skin care routines are great solutions to keeping your skin looking and feeling its best.
