Mature Skin

Why does the Skin age?

The skin ages because that’s how nature works , the new becomes old. Now I am not saying that becoming old is a problem what I am saying is that ageing is a normal natural process and is inevitable. Considering the habits , lifestyle you had sowed in your past will now be a time where you will reap. Unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking , high stress levels , sun exposure can determine the rate your skin ages. In this time especially most start to reflect on their lifestyle choices , due to the sense of regret and unpleasant feelings. Focusing on making better choices and loving yourself in every way will never let you down.

How does Pre Menopause/ Menopause affect the skin?

Changes in the body hormones levels play a key role in symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause. Hormones such as Estrogen play a very important factor in stimulation of collagen, elastin and hylaluronic acid. As the hormone levels decrease we see a decrease in production of these important skin elements that keep the skin plumped and youthful.

These drastic changes can impact overall quality of life symptoms such as hot flushes, sleeping problems become very prominent. These symptoms require a change of lifestyle ensuring one is having a balanced diet , eating the correct foods to support the body and keeping fit. These slight changes can produce positive results in one’s life.
