Pre-Menopause Skincare- Dryness and Hot Flash Sweating?

I couldn't have said it better myself.👍 Although I've passed the pre menopause stage years ago, the changes in our skin as we age should be talked about a lot more rather than conveniently ignored. Considering we all will eventually experience it, menopause is certainly something we should not be made to be ashamed of. I suppose I'm one of the lucky few because I experience minimal symptoms, which I can only attribute to genetics and a partial hysterectomy in my 40s. Although I do get a few hot flashes every once in awhile, I'm more prone to cold flashes, Yes, that's also a symptom. However, my skin becoming super dry and loss of elasticity are the main issues, which I've had great success by using the right skincare for replenshing moisture. Since researching ingredients and becoming more familiar with their benefits, my skin has improved dramatically. I would also suggest pampering yourself by taking a nice soothing bath before bed for relaxation. Having a bedside fan can also be a huge help for hot flashes. I must admit since experiencing menopause, I feel like a brand new person because I'm far more happier with myself physically and emotionally. It's a wonderful time to self reflect and finally take care of yourself and skincare is a great start. Hang in there, it will definitely get better🫶

Sheet masks are going to become your best friend as they give you a sense of calmness while providing hydration and mists.

Taking a cool shower before bed can help with the night sweats. Also, try to avoid spicy food as much as you can. Perimenopause is a tough one because sometimes you are too early to start any hormone replacement therapy, if you choose to go that route. For the sweating during the day, my friend was using a cold strip that you can stick onto your body (similar to the hot ones, but instead it's cold). They are very discreet and keep you cool. Hang in there! I hope this helps!💕

I had a total hysterectomy (the uterus, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes etc) after a lifetime of endometriosis. I had the surgery 6 years ago when I was 43. It also hit me like a freight train. On top of all the other symptoms, my skin became dry and my skin barrier always broke. I started on a step down estrogen and it helped me with most of the symptoms except for my skin. The good news is my skin wasn't oily anymore and no more hormonal breakouts but I do have the occasional cystic pimple. I cover it with an acne patch and it goes away overnight. I wish their was a skincare routine you could use to help step down your products. The brand would have no problem selling a kit like that.

These are great suggestions. I love reading them. Good informations to know for the future.
