It is estimated that almost half of women experience skin issues during menopause. Reduced production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and increased production of cortisol during this period are responsible for the inevitable skin changes that women face.
Some things we might notice:
- Dryness and Itching
- Delicate skin
- Acne
- Flushing
- Facial hair
- Melasma
- Facial changes
Not exactly. I found those types of creams were too heavy for me to use daily. I am using a sleep mask/sleep pack once or twice a week instead. I’m using Laneige (Korean brand) cica one and it’s really nice.
The game changer for me was adding hydrating products (hydrating attracts water to skin, moisturizing keeps it in.) I love love love asian toners and serums. Toners especially made a huge difference in my skin. I just pat in a few layers. CosRx full fit propolis toner is my favorite at the moment and it definitely changed my skin for the better. I have more to try but might not bother I like it so much.
Have you tried any toners/serums? I think they do the heavy lifting so your moisturizer doesn’t have to do it all alone.
I’ve been using toners that are lightweight and not that moisturizing, and heavy night creams. I think I need to change my skincare game…!
The CosRx toner looks nice! I may try it, thanks!
