Top 3 tips and tricks for skin during menopause

When menopause happens, there is more than hot flashes and night sweats, feelings of irritability and frustration and not to mention anxiety and fatigue.

Your skin changes. From a beauty point of view, there are certain things we need to change within our skincare routines to make sure we look our best in a time where we naturally lack confidence or feel invisible.

During menopause, the skin often becomes dry. Therefore, it's important to use proper products to help with water loss and seal the skin.

Here are three tips that will help you care for your skin if you're going through the change.

Exfoliate

As the skin will get a lot drier, it's important to invigorate the skin and remove the dead skin cells. If you don't help your skin by removing the dead cells, your skin will be unable to absorb moisture efficiently. Using a Clarisonic or facial brush is best as you aren't introducing any additional skin care into your routine.

Moisturise

Choosing the right skin care is extremely important to your skin health. Skin loves routine and hates chopping and changing products. The night time is the most important time to make sure your skin is hydrated.

I suggest the new Neovadiol Compensating Complex Night from Vichy (€34) which is specially designed to help the skin deal with the impact of menopause at night time.

Antioxidants

As antioxidants are anti-aging, and they act to protect your skin. Vitamin A (retinoids), Vitamin C, Cloves, and Green Tea are among the top antioxidants. Whether in supplement form or in antioxidant-rich food, it's important to increase the presence of antioxidants in your system.

Unfortunately, we can't stop the hands of time, but we can be prepared. Making sure we do the right things for our skin is the best way to stay looking our best no matter what were going through.
