Many women find that they are more sensitive to lots of different things during and after menopause, whether it’s an increased propensity towards allergies, digestive issues or bloating, for example. This is the result of fluctuating hormones.

In addition to the hormonal balancing touch therapies, there are lifestyle enhancements that can also help. 

  • Revise your skincare routine to adapt for the changing needs of your skin
  • Opt for skincare products that favour gentle, natural ingredients that you recognise on the label
  • Explore phytohormones (plant hormones) in your skincare - we love evening primrose oil, soy and geranium oil
  • Switch to non-bio laundry detergents 
  • Wear natural fabrics as much as possible

Our MPlus skincare collection has been specially formulated to help balance hormones and address the unwanted consequences of menopause. Using plant based ingredients containing naturally occurring plant oestrogens that support skin and overall wellbeing, they are extremely gentle and are 100% natural.

Appearance

As a result of hormonal changes and lower levels of collagen production, lots of women see changes in their skin during menopause, ranging from more lines and wrinkles to pigmentation and a less ‘plump’ appearance. Some women also experience breakouts or acne. A loss of fat in the skin can also cause a loss of elasticity in the skin. Other changes might include more facial hair and dryness.
