Hormonal fluctuations associated with menopause bring noticeable changes in skin’s healthy appearance and features. This is what specialists call “hormonal aging” and usually starts in the pre-menopausal years. During the years leading up to menopause (late 20s to mid 40s including peri-menopause, the time when changes related to menopause are quite obvious) our body produces less quantities of estrogen; estrogen hormone, aging and collagen production decrease are very much related because estrogen is key to collagen production, which is essential in keeping skin supple. Once the estrogen production gets lower and lower, the skin goes through irreversible changes in texture, tone and appearance. Mainly because of this hormone, aging is an inevitable process that will happen at some point in our lives.

Over 70 million women in the world are experiencing the effects of hormonal aging at this time. It is impossible to stop intrinsic aging (aging with an internal cause), it but its effects can be adjusted with topical systems and proper cosmetic treatment. By providing the skin with skin-firming ingredients, phyto-estrogens (plant-based estrogens) and moisturizing agents, you will be improving the condition of your skin and minimize the visible effects of hormone aging.
A menopause treatment is generally targeting hormonal aging. This is not just a skin condition; it is a phenomenon that happens in our entire body. Hormone aging leads to the whole body aging while its usual functions and capacities slow down.
The proper skin care treatment for hormonal aging includes skin–firm ingredients and hydrating agents that can address the visible effects of hormone aging which is specific to menopause. The priority is to keep skin healthy and hydrated from the inside out, through topical treatments and proper nutrition that provides the key elements to complete hydration in the body cells.  Beautiful skin is a sign of overall health and maintaining body’s health and balance needs this double approach.
Usually women experiencing hormone aging have diverse skin related concerns like: spots (hyper-pigmentation), enlarged pores, and oily skin.

Adult acne is triggered by a hormone imbalance that typically develops before menopause. Androgens are hormones usually produced in small quantities by women’s adrenal glands but before menopause, while progesterone and estrogen levels drop, the androgen levels remain at a level where the imbalance is inevitably happening; this can result in breakouts even during adulthood.   Adult acne usually responds well to topical products and complete anti aging systems and products usually target acne as well, but only secondarily.
Hyper-pigmentation (age spots) are quite frequent and usually reflect a life time of sun exposure. It is partly sun damage, partly aging and a delayed body response to the damage the skin has suffered in the past. These spots are not dangerous to our health and modern techniques can help reduce or even completely remove them. Usually they appear on the most exposed areas of our body: hands, shoulders, face, neck and chest

Oily skin and enlarged pores are just the typical skin response to hormone fluctuations, similar to the oily skin problems from our teenage years. The hormonal changes trigger excess oil production in our skin and face appears oily and pores enlarged.
Internal anti aging care includes proper hydration and nutrition: while vitamins and antioxidants prevent hormone aging and protect against harmful exterior elements, other ingredients like proteins and fatty acids maintain a healthy skin and optimal overall health.
