  • Although experiences will differ and vary, one thing is clear - menopause is a normal part of ageing! This process will impact or affect us in different way, and many are presented with:
  • Night sweats
  • Mood swings, being emotional and/ or irritable
  • The signature hot flushes
  • Lowered sex drive
  • Tiredness
  • Weight gain
  • Skin issues
  • Sleep issues
  • Vagina Dryness
We advocate battling this natural occurrence with nature, natural ingredients that are results driven, simple, nurturing, and gentle.

THE SKIN:

Regardless of skin type, tone, gender or race, our skin is made up of three layers:

  • Epidermis: The outer layer we see which is our visible barrier and the creator of our skin tone
  • Dermis: Beneath the epidermis, this layer houses our hair follicles, sweat glands and of course connective tissue
  • Hypodermis: Where you will find more connective tissue and fat
Focusing on the dermis, the middle layer which houses a significant percentage of the skin’s thickness and connective tissues. These connective tissues are made up of two proteins – collagen and elastin. Making up around 40% of the body’s protein, collagen is one of the most important substances in our body. Found in our bones, muscles, tendons and of course skin, collagen is that binder that keeps everything structured and in shape. As we get older and mature, production of collagen, naturally starts to slow and the structure of our cells weaken, skin becomes thinner, starts to sag, and lose elasticity. This is why with age, wrinkles and sagging skin start to creep in. Add to that UV exposer, a not-so-great lifestyle, poor diet and pollution, and the ageing process speeds up. Oestrogen is that hormone linked to the production of collagen and our natural oils. Oestrogen activates fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen, so it is safe to say that when one’s oestrogen levels drop, our collagen production decreases.

Menopause and Your Skin

The dramatic reduction in oestrogen levels during menopause directly impacts collagen levels in our skin. In our 20’s and 30’s we lose collagen at the rate of 1% per year and as we enter into menopause this increases to up to 30% of collagen loss. What happens to our skin? It gets dryer, thinner, loses elasticity and the wrinkles come to life. The truth is that our cells multiply slower and everything takes longer to heal and repair. THIS IS NORMAL! It is mother nature just doing her job but there are ways to go into the battlefield and it is a matter of choice.
