Wie die Wechseljahre unsere Haut beeinflussen

Menopause is a time of change for every woman.

Changes in the skin are a noticeable and visible sign. During menopause, the skin loses its elasticity and tone. Due to the hormonal changes, the skin becomes dry more quickly and wrinkles begin to appear more frequently.

But that's not all. Many women complain about sensitive skin. Due to the reduced estrogen and progesterone production, you simply become “thinner”. Creams that have been used for years are suddenly no longer tolerated. The skin reacts sensitively to fragrances, alcohol and preservatives.

Rashes, itching, burning and red skin are not uncommon. Skin imperfections also often cause problems for women during menopause.

It is often difficult to find care that, on the one hand, has an anti-aging effect and, on the other hand, is also suitable for sensitive and irritated skin.

A first aid can be to put your diet to the test. Because eating habits can also have a positive or negative influence on our skin.

Especially during menopause, the skin barrier must be strengthened and moisture and lipids must be supplied to the skin.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING SKINCARE.

Looking for irritation-free care that does not contain fragrances or alcohol. Essential oils can also have an irritating effect on the skin. Alcohol dries out the skin even more.

Look for high-quality natural ingredients.

Skin-soothing ingredients such as aloe vera can be combined with anti-wrinkle ingredients that smooth and soothe the skin. The skin barrier should be strengthened. This is possible, for example, with high-quality organic oils such as pomegranate seed oil or raspberry seed oil.

Hyaluronic acid makes the skin plumper and wrinkles caused by dryness disappear. This active ingredient is also suitable for sensitive skin

Be careful with products containing vitamin C or retinol. These active ingredients are often too aggressive for sensitive skin during menopause.

Nature has given us some active ingredients that ensure a smooth and silky skin feeling without irritating the skin even further.
