Understanding Menopause
Menopause creeps up on us, bringing with it a decrease in hormonal activity that leads to various physical and emotional symptoms. From the age of around 25, we lose about 1% of our collagen annually, but when menopause starts, we lose 30% drop in collagen in the first 5 years.
Collagen and elastin are responsible for youthful, bouncy skin, but as their levels decrease, the texture and firmness of your skin suffer. This leads to sagging skin and the onset of wrinkles, among other menopause skin changes. To add to this, the skin’s protective barrier weakens, making it harder to hold onto moisture. If you feel as though you’re already experiencing these issues and you’re at a loss for what to do, with our help, you can look and feel amazing even when menopause begins.
