Menopause And Skincare; How To Come Out The Other Side Glowing

The older we get, the more wisdom and confidence we have, but that wisdom and confidence can arrive with a few challenges on the outside and that dreaded “change” called Menopause on the inside.

It’s not all bad, though! If you look after your skin and take care of yourself during this change, you might just come out the other side glowing and with no PMS…. bonus!

As hormone levels drop during this time, the skin can become dry. Your body also stops making as much collagen, which in turn can see your once plump and firm skin lose its elasticity and bounce.

To ensure you continue to glow, both inside and out, here are 5 tips to help your skin through the change that is Menopause.

1. Hydrate – both inside and out! We all know the importance of drinking water and staying hydrated (aiding digestion, protecting organs and tissue, helps to normalise blood pressure, etc); however, keeping the skin hydrated is also important during this time. Try using a daily facial oil that contains nutrient-rich natural ingredients to rejuvenate tone and refine the skin.

2. Massage – End the day with a soothing facial massage. Use a few drops of your favourite facial oil on damp skin. The massage motion can stimulate your skin's collagen production. Our Rewind Facial Oil is perfect for this. With a combination of oils formulated to fight those pesky visible signs of ageing and to help provide long-lasting moisture and hydration, it’s the perfect ritual to end the day.

3. Sunscreen – Don’t forget to lather up! As we age, our body produces less natural sun protection; you need to ensure you are still using a high SPF sunscreen in your daily skincare routine. Don’t forget to apply it multiple times a day if you find yourself outside for long periods of time.

4. Exercise – Just a 30-minute walk is all it takes. It’s good to stay active during this time. A 30-minute walk in the fresh air is enough to increase endorphins and get the blood pumping. You will feel awake and ready to conquer the world!

5. Supplements – Try taking a collagen supplement to aid with collagen production & elasticity.
