What Causes Skin to Age?
As we grow older, numerous changes happen to our bodies. But what do these changes mean for our skin? Essentially, our skin is left with much less structural integrity than it once had. Many factors can also impact the rate at which your skin ages, such as the environment you live in, exposure to UV rays, diet, exercise, sleep routine and products you use. Any damage done by failing to look after your skin in the long run cannot be undone with your menopausal skincare routine. Typically, you will start to notice more of the signs of ageing when you’re perimenopausal.
Menopause typically starts between the ages of 45 and 55, bringing with it a
plethora of symptoms, as well as causing changes to your skin. During this
transition period, our bodies stop making as much collagen and elastin, and our
hormone levels change. The most notable changes here are that oestrogen levels
and collagen production drop. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human
body, it forms a scaffold that provides strength and structure within the body as
well as giving strength and elasticity to the skin. Oestrogen also plays a part in this
process so this combination can prove detrimental to many.
This combination of hormones and collagen changes can cause sagging, fine lines and wrinkles –
especially around the neck, jawline and cheeks.
Enchanting Your Menopausal Skincare
Giving your skin the extra TLC it needs can boost your self-esteem and leave you
feeling younger, more confident and ready to take on the world again! Making a
shift to focus on menopausal skincare can be challenging but by making sure you
hydrate your skin, use a cleanser and moisturiser that is right for drier skin, as well
as drinking enough during the day, you can support your skin through the ageing
process. Remember, you still need SPF! Look for a broad-spectrum SPF and wear
it every day. Products such as EXTREME PROTECT® SPF 40 provide multilevel
protection against UVA and UVB rays, as well as being specially formulated to
protect the delicate skin of the face to minimise the effects of photodamage.
I also suggest that you consider aesthetic treatments if you’re looking to improve
