Menopause's Multifaceted Skin Impact
- Menopause affects skin dryness, collagen loss, elasticity, and can cause adult female acne due to hormonal shifts.
- Hormone receptors, especially estrogen and testosterone, are abundant in facial skin and hair follicles influencing these changes.
Essential Skincare for Menopause
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect collagen from UV damage and prevent premature aging.
- Apply hydrating products with hyaluronic acid and exfoliate with glycolic acid to promote skin renewal and maintain smoothness.
Desquamation Needs Exfoliation Aid
- As we age, our skin's desquamation process slows down, causing dullness and buildup of dead skin cells.
- Regular exfoliation using agents like glycolic or lactic acid helps remove dead layers and restores skin's fresh and dewy appearance.
