Post-menopausal skin changes also require changes in the care of the skin. Some cosmetic products and procedures can reverse and slow down your skin changes after menopause.
1. Stimulate the natural production of collagen in the dermis
Collagen is the main protein that provides structural support to our skin and makes it more dense and healthy. Over the years, however, our skin produces less of it. A proven method for stimulating the production of collagen is microneedle therapy. Microbubbles cause a reaction in the skin and it begins to produce more collagen and to form new cells.
Many beauty salons already offer a microneedle therapy with dermabrasion, but such a therapy could be done completely safely at home with a derm roller or a hydra needle.
To restore collagen in your skin, use professional collagen products as well.
2. Recover hyaluronic acid in the skin
While collagen is a protein that builds the structure of the skin, hyaluronic acid is like a gel-pillow that holds moisture in it. This polysaccharide is of natural origin and has the ability to absorb up to 1000 times its weight in water and, when applied topically, can help the skin retain moisture and give it freshness and elasticity. It is the hyaluronic acid that causes the baby's skin to look smooth and dense.
The good news is that hyaluron is well absorbed through the skin and can be applied locally under the serum, gels and creams to provide intensive hydration to the skin.
4. Remove the dead cells from the surface layer of the skin
This will refresh your skin and improve its color. The salons offer procedures with diamond microdermabrasion, chemical, enzymatic peels, etc., but you can make a peeling mask at home, use scrap or acid.
5. Reduce aging of the skin by protecting it with antioxidants and protective creams
Skin aging can be delayed by using antioxidant and sunscreen products.
Antioxidants are a wide range of substances that are beneficial to the human body, which by different mechanisms reduce the harmful effects of various environmental factors such as ionizing radiation, chemicals, heat shock, cigarette smoke, etc.
There are different antioxidant creams, but in any case it is preferable to use creams that contain natural antioxidants - plant extracts rich in bioflavonoids and vitamin C, natural oils containing vitamin E and carotenoids.
6. Hydrating and avoiding drying products
Since the skin is aging after menopause, it tends to dry. To protect your skin from drying and not look wrinkled and dry, use only cleaning and deep moisturizing moisturizers.
In the end, it is important to understand that if we want to delay the aging of the skin after the onset of menopause, it is important to take care of it every day. Effective skin care includes 4 basic steps: cleansing, hydration, nourishment and protection. Over time these day-to-day procedures will look as simple as brushing teeth and taking a shower.
