Symptoms can vary widely - from shorter menstrual cycles and hot flushes to anxiety, depression and trouble sleeping or concentrating. As hormone levels, particularly oestrogen and progesterone, decline, noticeable changes occur in the body, especially the skin.
Skin dryness becomes a major issue during perimenopause and menopause, along with decreased collagen production, affecting elasticity and skin thickness. Reduced vitamin D production also impacts skin repair and ageing.
To help support you during this time, I’d like to share my personal journey, including my updated skincare routine, nutritional and lifestyle tips and custom-built skincare bundles designed to enhance hydration, boost collagen and nurture skin health.
For many women, myself included, perimenopause isn't easy to navigate. I hope my experiences and suggestions can support others during this time of change.
