Many women can
experience new challenges for their skin approaching and post-menopause due to
a reduction in oestrogen. This can decrease collagen and elastin production,
leading to sagging and thinning skin, age spots, fine lines, break-outs,
dryness and changes in hair growth. Any exposure to UV, poor diet and stress
earlier in life can also become more apparent. It is important to encourage
cell turnover, for increased clarity and smooth texture. Also of high
importance is to strengthen the skin barrier, retain moisture, tone and firm
(by reinforcing fibres), reduce inflammation, encourage collagen production,
nourish and protect the skin from UV.
Specialised retinol
products are scientifically proven to greatly improve the appearance of ageing
skin, but it is important to discuss the strengths and product options with
your skin specialist to ensure you do not use a product that is too strong for
your skin type. It is also essential to hydrate the skin, not just via drinking
water, but also applying products that impart moisture into the epidermis. Many
people try intense Vitamin A products, but a high concentration of Vitamin A,
when not balanced with other vitamins and essential ingredients, can cause
intense irritation. Professional skin clinicians will be able to help you
tailor make a home-use regime to optimise your anti-ageing daily routine and
look fantastic.
