Menopause and cosmetics

May 28 is the International Day of Action for Women's Health, a day that seeks to raise awareness about various aspects of women's health.

Among these aspects, menopause is a significant topic due to the physical and emotional changes women experience during this stage.

Menopause and its Impact on Your Skin

Menopause brings with it a series of hormonal changes that can significantly affect the skin. The decrease in estrogen levels can result in:

• Dry skin: The production of natural oils decreases, which can cause dryness and flaking.
• Loss of elasticity: Skin may become thinner and less elastic, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Changes in pigmentation: Dark spots or hyperpigmentation may appear due to sun exposure and hormonal changes.
• Increased sensitivity: Skin may become more sensitive and reactive to certain products or the environment.

Are cosmetics adapted to menopause?

The industry is increasingly aware of the need to provide specific responses to this vital stage of a woman's life with products like NATANA's, which, without developing a specific line, maintain a focus on:

• Intensive Hydration: As we always say, the best anti-aging is to have well-hydrated skin with the use of ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid,
• Anti-aging or well-aging ingredients : Products with Peptides, Antioxidants or our CAMU-CAMU to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
• Skin-soothing products: ingredients to soothe sensitive skin and reduce irritation, such as NATANA's BIOME PROTECT , which cares for the skin's microbiota.
• Sun protection: Use sunscreen daily to prevent sun damage and the appearance of spots.
• Nutritional supplements: Some cosmetic products also focus on nutrition from within, with supplements that promote healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Comprehensive care (inside and out)

Beyond cosmetics, it's important to take a holistic approach to managing the effects of menopause on your skin:

• A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
• Drink enough water daily.
• Performing physical activity (combining strength and endurance), at least 3 times a week, helps maintain circulation and overall skin health.

The International Day of Action for Women's Health is an opportunity to highlight the importance of caring for skin health during menopause by promoting education and access to appropriate products and treatments.
