Sex

Many women experience changes to their sex drive during menopause, as well as symptoms like vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex. However, there are things that can help and lots of people find that there’s a process of rediscovering their own bodies and sex.

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

Make time for things that make you feel good about yourself, whether it’s pampering, painting your nails, moisturising with beautiful creams, having a massage or buying new lingerie that you feel good in.
Explore phytohormones (plant hormones) in your skincare - we love evening primrose oil, soy and geranium oil
Speak to your GP about oestrogen creams and lubricants.
Make sex fun again by organising date nights and talking to your partner about what you enjoy.
Clear your head - for women, so much of sexual pleasure is in the brain. So, do things to clear your head and calm anxiety, such as yoga, meditation or having a bedtime (or morning!) routine that helps you to feel great.

Our MPlus skincare collection has been specially formulated to help balance hormones using the power of plants and naturally occurring plant oestrogens. As a result, they nourish the skin and support overall wellness. A great way to help you clear your mind and feel good about yourself so you can get back to enjoying your sex life is to create wellbeing routines that make you feel good about yourself. For example, aromatherapy diffusers in the house as well as a luxurious night time skin and body routine.

Symptom

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.

Brain + Cognitive Function

Some of the most disconcerting consequences of menopause for many of the women we speak to are the ‘brain fog’ and memory lapses that result from a change in hormones. There are practical things that can be done to help manage changes to cognitive function, and in particular minimising stress levels can help. Holistic therapies can also create a sense of calm, especially when they’re supercharged with products using naturally occurring sources of oestrogen (plant hormones), like those in our MPlus range.

Mood Swings

Mood swings are a common consequence of hormonal changes that occur during the three stages of menopause. In fact, around a quarter of women say they experienced mood swings during this time. From anxiety to depression, sadness to irritability, diminishing oestrogen levels can be disconcerting, but holistic therapies and solutions can help manage symptoms.

sleep

It’s estimated that up to 40% of women experience sleep issues during menopause. It manifests differently in different people too. Some women struggle to get to sleep but then they get a full night’s rest, while others wake during the night for a myriad of reasons, from night sweats and hot flushes to anxiety levels or constantly needing to go to the toilet. The knock on effect can range from fatigue to depression. There are things that can help though.
