Estimated read time: 4 minutes

Hello everyone,

Navigating the natural changes of peri-menopause and menopause impacts our internal health and manifests visibly on our skin. As these changes may begin as early as our mid-30s, you might notice your skin becoming drier, less elastic, and more lined. But worry not! This blog will guide you through effective, easy-to-follow skincare routines that will take just minutes out of your day to help restore your skin's youthful glow.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Tailored Skincare Routines: Quick, nurturing steps for morning and evening care.

• Facial Massage Techniques: Simple massages to enhance your skin’s elasticity and overall radiance.

• Dietary Tips: Small dietary tweaks to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Understanding Your Skin’s New Needs

With the decrease in oestrogen levels during peri-menopause and menopause, your skin might start to lose its firmness and moisture, becoming thinner and more fragile. This is why it's crucial to adapt your skincare regimen to provide deep hydration and support the skin's repair process using gentle, soothing products.

Comprehensive Morning Skincare Routine

Set the foundation for your skin each day with these steps:

• Start Fresh: Splash your face with cold water to reduce puffiness and wake up your skin, making it look firmer and more alive.

• Tone and Prep: Apply a hydrating toner to help balance your skin’s pH and prep it for better moisture absorption.

• Moisturise and Protect: Use a moisturiser tailored to mature skin, packed with antioxidants and at least SPF 30 to safeguard against the sun’s rays.

• Focus on the Eyes: Lightly tap a hydrating eye cream around your eyes to lessen fine lines and dark circles.

Nurturing Evening Skincare Routine

Wind down with a routine that cleanses and nourishes:

• Cleanse Gently: Use a soft cleanser to remove impurities and makeup, keeping your skin's natural barrier intact.

• Hydrate and Soothe: Apply a soothing agent like aloe vera, which calms and deeply hydrates your skin overnight.

• Nightly Richness: A good night cream can help recover your skin’s elasticity while you sleep.

Facial Massage to Boost Vitality

Incorporate a simple facial massage into your routine to improve skin tone and firmness:

• Forehead Care: Smooth out the forehead by sweeping your fingertips from the middle outwards.

• Eye Brightening: Reduce puffiness by gently pressing under the eyes and sweeping towards the temples.

• Cheek Lift: Help firm your cheeks by gently pushing the skin upwards towards the ears, promoting lymphatic drainage and reducing swelling.

Advanced Collagen for Hair, Skin & Nails

To further support your skin’s health, consider incorporating our Advanced Collagen for Hair, Skin & Nails into your daily routine. This supplement is specially formulated to replenish vital nutrients that enhance skin elasticity, support hydration, and maintain overall skin and nail health.

Choosing the Right Skincare Products

Opt for skincare items that are gentle and free from harsh chemicals. The right products should nourish and rejuvenate without causing irritation, catering specifically to the needs of maturing skin.

Dietary Adjustments for Optimal Skin Health

Simple changes in your diet can significantly improve your skin’s appearance:

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and include cucumber and watermelon in your snacks.

• Boost with Omega-3s: Incorporate flaxseeds or oily fish to enrich your skin from the inside.

• Antioxidant Intake: Berries and nuts provide essential antioxidants that protect and rejuvenate skin cells.

• Avoid Inflammatory Foods: Minimize sugar and salt to reduce inflammation and promote healthier skin.
