- Perimenopause typically begins in a woman's 40s but can start earlier or later. It's the transitional stage leading to menopause, marked by hormonal fluctuations.
- Symptoms of perimenopause can include irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and changes in libido, among others.
Changes in skin during perimenopause:
- Decreased collagen production: As estrogen levels decline, collagen production decreases, leading to thinner, less elastic skin and the formation of wrinkles.
- Increased dryness: Hormonal changes can reduce the skin's ability to retain moisture, resulting in dryness and potential irritation.
Increase intake of EFA's to support natural moisturising factors and skin fullness. Use the Home Kit Lip Lift Matrix to draw up compounds focusing on the lip line where depleting oestrogen causes fine lines and loss of volume
Supporting wellness during perimenopause:
- Balanced diet: Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can support hormonal balance and overall health during perimenopause.
- Regular movement: Engaging in regular physical activity can help manage symptoms like mood swings and weight gain, as well as support bone health, which can be affected during perimenopause.
