WHAT IS THE MENOPAUSE DOING TO YOUR FACE?
Most of the discussion around menopause and perimenopause is about the havoc that falling levels of oestrogen and progesterone creates for our bodies and minds. But menopause and perimenopause also have a huge effect on the skin and the face, and I get a lot of questions asking:
What’s happening?
What can you do about it?
Do you need special skincare?
Should I be taking hormone replacement and other supplements?
Which tweakments will help?
Why is Estrogen loss the to blame for ‘menopause face’?
Hormone levels have a big impact on the skin. During the perimenopause, the amount of estrogen created in the body dwindles, and when we hit actual menopause, our estrogen levels tank.
What does having less oestrogen mean for the skin?
It’s not so firm– less estrogen means that our skin can’t create as much collagen as it used to.
It’s not so bouncy – without estrogen, making elastin, the protein that gives skin its spring, becomes harder.
It’s drier– because our skin makes less of its own hyaluronic acid and loses its ability to hold onto moisture.
It’s thinner – losing the collagen and elastin means skin becomes flatter.
wrinklesshow up more – because of all the above.
It looks dull – because dry, thinner skin doesn’t reflect the light in the way that hydrated, plumped up, firmer skin does.
It’s more fragile – and doesn’t heal as quickly as younger skin.
This is all very normal, all very natural, but it’s not great to watch this happening in your own face.
Walking into a Med spa not understanding your own personal style can lead you to spending thousands of wasted dollars.
I have created a signature program that embraces all of the complex principles of menopausal skin.
My 12 month journey focuses on using the most up to date research, product lines and procedures. The focus is to keep the skin “acting younger” whilst addressing the complexity of volume loss.
