Get rid of your menopausal symptoms, naturally!
Wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, dull, and itchy skin - you’re probably noticing all these changes in your skin as you age. After all, these changes are normal as you age, right?
Well, yes. However, if you're a woman entering your 40s or 50s, chances are you are discovering that your skin—and appearance—are changing much more abruptly than you anticipated. But that doesn't mean you cannot keep your skin healthy and glowing as you age!
Let's examine the effects of menopause on the skin in more detail, as well as what women may do to tackle these new skincare concerns, especially itchy and dry skin!
How Does Your Skin Change During Menopause?
Typically, your skin changes during perimenopause and menopause because of two factors with age: Extrinsic or External factors and Intrinsic or Internal factors.
Extrinsic factors like sun exposure, pollution, and stress can lead to the aging of your skin as time goes on. However, taking care of your skin by incorporating antioxidant treatments can help slow down the aging process.
Intrinsic factors, on the other hand, are a normal process that takes place as collagen in the skin depletes over time. Collagen is the key component of the connective tissue that gives skin its strength and flexibility. We lose 1% of our collagen every year till menopause.
Dealing with Dry and Itchy Skin due to Menopause
As your skin ages and the collagen production decreases, the estrogen levels in your blood reduce. Estrogen is responsible for the plumpness and water retention in your skin. Hence, a drop in estrogen levels can make your skin dry and brittle.
Sudden changes in your skin because of menopause can feel like an unwelcome shock. After all, nobody wants their skin to look and feel dull, dry, and itchy. But you do not need to worry. Luckily, there are changes that you can bring into your routine to re-nourish and hydrate your skin and impart that ageless glow from within!
What can you do?
- Opt for gentle cleansers : Your skin could get drier if you use too harsh of a cleanser on it. In order to avoid further drying, make sure you're using a moderate, non-foaming cleanser. Choose creamy cleansers that aid in protecting your skin's barrier rather than weakening it.
- Upgrade your moisturizing game: It is crucial to use moisturizing products that restore hydration to your skin. Opt for products that have clean, sustainable ingredients, especially Rosehip Seed Oil. With its emollient properties, Rosehip Seed Oil encourages the production of estrogen in your body, allowing for better water retention and eliminating dry skin.
Get rid of Breakouts and Acne due to Menopause
Acne, breakouts, and rashes are also very real symptoms of menopause caused by the lack of hydration and subsequent dry skin.
Pimples and blemishes are often a common occurrence that might appear due to the higher presence of androgens in comparison to estrogen. As we age, our skin's capacity to shed old cells and regenerate new ones slows down. This is the ideal mix for infection and clogged pores.
What can you do?
- Check the suitability of ingredients: Every skin type is different. Make sure you use products that your skin is comfortable with so as to avoid sudden breakouts or rashes. Patch test every new product on your skin or wrist to ensure the suitability of the ingredients on your skin.
- Incorporate gentle anti-inflammatories into your skincare: Clean ingredients like Rosehip Seed Oil, Argan Oil, Geranium Oil and so many more soothe and calm your skin to help prevent acne and breakouts. Packed with antioxidants, these oils serve as anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating agents that help increase your skin’s cell turnover. Try Empress Naturals Luxe Night Elixir which has the perfect anti-inflammatory ingredients to suit every skin type!
- Target Hyperpigmentation: Using ingredients like licorice extract that naturally help alleviate and reduce hyperpigmentation that might have occurred due to breakouts or menopausal dark spots.
