From skincare to emotional wellness, learn how to confidently embrace menopause.
Your Menopausal Journey
Approximately 51% of women use CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) and more than 60% perceive it be effective for menopausal symptoms.
If you are like most women, perimenopause hits like a ton of bricks and by the time you realize what is going on, you are post-menopausal. That sums up my experience in a nutshell. But it also marked an important and empowering milestone in my life. You will experience physical, emotional and psychological changes that will have you considering hormone therapy or a more holistic approach. Understanding what is going on in and outside of your body can help you make an informed decision.
The Physical Aspect
Menopause typically brings changes such as hormonal fluctuations, hot flashes, and altered skin conditions. It's essential to adapt your self-care routine to address these changes effectively.
Emotional and Mental Considerations
This period can also impact your emotional and mental well-being. Feelings of anxiety, mood swings, and changes in self-perception are common. Acknowledging and addressing these feelings is essential for your menopausal journey.
Nurturing Your Skin During Menopause
Menopausal skin undergoes various changes, often becoming dry, thin, and less elastic. Not to mention the uptick in dark marks, fines lines and wrinkles. Incorporating natural skincare ingredients can make a difference in maintaining healthy, vibrant skin.
Key Ingredients for Menopausal Skincare
Hyaluronic Acid: Retains moisture and restores skin plumpness.
Vitamin C: Brightens the complexion and reduces fine lines.
