How does menopause affect our skin?

Menopause is a high pivotal period, as it marks the end of fertility and comes with a variety of changes, that affect each woman in a different way and intensity. It is a normal, but inevitable process, which usually causes symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, headache, sleep disorders, mood swings, irritability and anxiety.

The reduction of estrogen, collagen, elastin, etc., which is observed during menopause, affects all, or almost all the organs of the human body, including the skin. Strong changes in the texture and appearance of the skin eventually turn up. Among others:

• The epidermis becomes thinner, as it loses its density
• Wrinkles get even deeper
• Skin becomes dry or dull
• In many cases, color spots appear

Preserve a more youthful complexion

Occurring changes cannot be completely avoided. However, they can be delayed or mitigated, if you provide your skin with the appropriate as well as necessary care. Notice the following tips:

“Invest” in hydration

During menopause, your skin needs frequent and enhanced hydration, above all. A single face cream isn’t enough. It’s time to include OLIVE.ELIA Daily Hydration Elixir in your regular face care routine. Apply it daily, morning and evening, under your moisturizer. It binds and preserves the moisture in the skin, ensuring deep and long-lasting hydration. At the same time, it revitalizes the skin, protecting it from the ravages of time.

Use sunscreen

The use of sunscreen is essential at any age and during all seasons. It doesn’t matter if it is winter or summer. Don’t go out wearing no sunscreen, if you want to avoid a further damage from ultraviolet radiation.

Suitable products morning – evening

The use of the appropriate moisturizing and anti-aging products during menopause will help your skin to a great extent. A special face serum, an enhanced eye cream and a night cream are just what you need. Apply MACROVITA Lifting Serum with argan oil & olive oil on clean and dry skin, morning and evening.
