Find Your Routine
So, what can you do to keep your skin and hair looking healthy?
The outlook might seem bleak, but there are lots of tips and techniques you can try to manage menopausal changes.
Find a regular routine that works for you.
Make sure you wash your face daily, to remove all of that dead and dry skin – but use a gentle, hydrating cleanser that won’t dry your skin out even more. Follow this up with a hydrating moisturiser that is heavy – but not greasy – so that you replenish the moisture your skin loses.
There are specific skin care products with ingredients that can imitate oestrogen when applied topically on your skin, making up for the lack of naturally-produced oestrogen and helping to protect and rejuvenate menopausal skin. However, as your skin adapts to the changes in hormones, you may have to stop using the active ingredient until your skin stabilises.
Ensure your scalp is well hydrated too – and don’t use harmful products with nasty chemicals. Try to avoid heat treatments or dyeing your hair too often, as you might find your scalp is more sensitive and your hair more likely to become brittle and break.
