De overgang heeft direct invloed op de conditie van je huid. Veel vrouwen merken dat hun huid droger wordt, gevoeliger reageert en minder stevig aanvoelt. Ook kunnen fijne lijntjes, pigmentvlekken en een doffere uitstraling sneller zichtbaar worden. Dit komt vooral door hormonale veranderingen die invloed hebben op de structuur en het herstelvermogen van de huid.<\/p>

What changes in your skin during the menopause?<\/h2>\n

During the menopause, the level of oestrogen in your body falls. This hormone plays an important part in keeping the skin healthy and resilient. As it declines, several processes in the skin begin to change.<\/p>\n

The production of collagen and elastin decreases<\/strong>
\nAs a result, the skin loses firmness and fine lines and wrinkles appear more quickly.<\/p>\n

The skin barrier weakens<\/strong>
\nThis means your skin loses moisture more quickly and becomes more sensitive to external influences.<\/p>\n

Sebum production decreases<\/strong>
\nThis leaves your skin feeling drier, and it can become tight or flaky.<\/p>\n

Circulation reduces<\/strong>
\nThis can lead to a duller complexion and a less fresh appearance.<\/p>\n

Pigment cells react more sensitively<\/strong>
\nAs a result, pigmentation marks can appear more readily or darken.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

Why your skin suddenly reacts differently<\/h2>\n

Products that once worked well can suddenly feel too rich, too light or irritating. This is because the skin barrier is more fragile and the skin is less able to repair itself. Your skin can also become more sensitive to external factors, such as sunlight, changes in temperature and stress. As a result, concerns can worsen more quickly if you do not adjust your routine.<\/p>\n

Common skin concerns during the menopause<\/h2>\n

The changes in the skin can show themselves in different ways. Often several concerns occur at once.<\/p>\n

– Dry skin that feels tight
\n– Fine lines and wrinkles that become visible more quickly
\n– Loss of firmness and definition
\n– Pigmentation marks or an uneven complexion
\n– Sensitive skin that reacts more readily to products
\n– Dull skin without its natural glow<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The best approach for your skin during and after the menopause<\/h2>\n

An effective approach during the menopause calls for a combination of protecting, repairing and activating. By supporting your skin on several levels, you help it to regain its balance and become visibly stronger.<\/p>\n

– Daily sun protection with a good SPF to help prevent further damage and pigmentation.
\n– Hydrating ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, to hold on to moisture and reduce dryness.
\n– Repairing ingredients, such as ceramides, to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce sensitivity.
\n– Active ingredients such as retinol and vitamin C to improve the skin’s texture and even out the complexion.
\n– Gentle exfoliation to encourage cell renewal without overburdening the skin.
\n– Additional treatments, such as peels, microneedling or connective tissue massage, to give the skin extra stimulation and enhance visible results.
\n– Consistency in your routine, so the skin is given time to recover step by step.<\/p>\n
