So, whats for real, and whats just hype?
Once upon a time, 50 was considered old, but now its badass.
The question remains: Do you actually need different skin-care during menopause and beyond?
What is menopause and when does it start?
But the fact is, if youve ever menstruated then eventually, like winter, menopause is coming.
What does menopause do to your skin?
…
It supports so many functions of the skin, from cellular turnover to collagen and elastin production.
Its also instrumental in producing sebum (oil) and maintaining the skins moisture levels.
How should you adjust your skin-care routine during menopause?
Its similar to transitioning your skin care with the seasons, says Dr. Waldorf.
My advice is not to wait until menopause hits and your skin is super dry.
Start a good moisturizing and retinol routine in your 30s and early 40s to offset the signs of aging.
Not reallyas long as you know how to read an ingredient label.
You dont need a menopause product to get good moisturizing ingredients.
Retinol is a bit trickier.
…
Most medical experts consider this ingredient to be safe, and its definitely interesting, says Dr. Hirsch.
But its debatable how effectively a topical peptide can be at actually triggering that production.
So, is menopause skin-careallhype?
Dr. Hirsch agrees: Its like hiring a florist because they label themselves as a wedding florist.
A regular one that does beautiful work is just as good.
That said, there are other benefits to this influx of skin care.
