NO PAUSE at MENOPAUSE

Q: What does skin experience during menopause?

A: Due to the hormonal slowdown, skin loses up to 90%

of its natural “youth hormone” called DHEA. This results

in skin becoming drier and duller. There is also a loss of

elasticity around the neck, cheekbones, and jawline.

Q: How can we reduce the effects of menopause on skin?

A: Seek ingredients that meet the specific needs of women

through every stage of menopause. This includes making

sure that your beauty routine reduces dryness, boosts

firmness and elasticity, and restores a radiant complexion.

KEEP YOUR SKIN SUPPLE AND FIRM THROUGHOUT THE THREE STAGES OF MENOPAUSE

PERIMENOPAUSE

This stage can surface years ahead of menopause, with

some women noticing symptoms in their early forties.

As hormone levels drop, signs of skin aging appear as

well as night sweats and hot flashes. Adapt your skincare

to your changing needs by looking for an ingredient

called Aquakeep, which provides a sensation of freshness

and absorbs humidity to ensure that skin looks rested

and radiant in the morning.

MENOPAUSE

Menopause is defined by the end of the 12-month period

after the last menstrual cycle. Women experience it between

the ages of 40 and 58. Hormone levels decrease and

skin aging is accelerated, leading to loss of density, skin

dryness, and lack of radiance. Ingredients like proxylane,

which densifies, and hyaluronic acid, which plumps,

help to compensate the effects of menopause on skin

by reproducing the benefits of the youth hormone, DHEA.

POSTMENOPAUSE

After menopause, blood circulation slows down and skin

pigmentation can increase, which causes skin to grow dull

and pale. The epidermis may become so thin and dry that

it feels rough. Packed with minerals, calcium strengthens

the epidermis, while beeswax soothes and nourishes it,

giving your skin’s protective barrier a boost and guarding

it against the passage of time.
