Here are 3 things that your skin might experience during menopause and how you can adapt your skincare routine to manage them: ⚡ Dryness – a reduction in oestrogen levels effects the level of collagen in our skin and oil production too. As a result, our skin becomes thinner and can also become dry. ⚡ Breakouts - as oestrogen levels fall, so testosterone becomes unregulated and more influential on our skin. One of the side effects of too much testosterone is acne that appears similar to teenage varieties. ⚡ Sensitivity – delicate capillaries, hot flushes and thinner skin can make you more sensitive to external irritants and skin products. Some tips on how to manage them: ⭐ Use skin-sensitive products and mild cleansers rather than soap. Avoid ingredients, such as silicon and dimethicone and consider trying products with vitamin A and hyaluronic acid that promote healthy skin function. ⭐ Boost blood circulation to your face by taking 5-minutes out of each day to carry out a mindful facial massage, using some face oil and a Gua sha tool or your fingers. ⭐ Wear at least SPF 30 every day to protect sensitive skin from the harsh rays of the sun. ⭐ Consider taking collagen and vitamin C supplements to support capillary strength and the growth of healthy skin.
