Sometimes it’s easy to get in a rut with our skincare and use the same products for years, but as we age our skin changes and we may benefit from trying something different that may be more suitable.
Now is a perfect time to switch up your skincare routine with spring on our doorstep and sunnier days ahead your skincare should be including important ingredients for day and night, including lots of hydration and antioxidants especially if you are entering menopause as hormonal changes deplete moisture faster.
Menopause and ageing can typically lead to the reduction of production of sebum which keeps skin supple. Pigmentation changes can occur on the neck, upper lip and cheeks. This is because of hormone fluctuations that can start occurring in early 40’s, skin can become dry and flaky and lack lustre but also can become sensitive and prone to breakouts it’s all very personal to the individual.
Stress can be another problem for skin.
When cortisol is released which is a catabolic hormone it can break down tissue including collagen so try to keep your stress levels down with relaxing bath or a walk in nature !
