As we age, hormonal changes influence the way our skin behaves and looks. Therefore, the care routine must also change after the age of 45 or 50 years.
We can have beautiful, smooth-looking skin at any age. But one thing we have to take into account is that the care routine from 20 years old will no longer work. Why? Because as we approach perimenopause and menopause, the needs of our skin change.
What is perimenopause?
The North American Menopause Society (The North American Menopause Society) says that perimenopause is the period when our body makes the natural transition to menopause. You will start to notice symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, fatigue, but also changes related to the way your skin looks and feels. Specialists also mention that the period of perimenopause is between 4 and 8 years before the onset of menopause, but there may be higher limits – between 6 and 10 years.
It is absolutely normal to feel more emotional and to need more rest. Now is the time to be more patient with yourself and to give yourself the care you may have given to those around you, without thinking about your needs. Slow down and listen to what your body is telling you. What do you need to feel energetic and strong? What new needs do you notice in your skin when you look in the mirror?
The changes your skin goes through as you approach menopause
Perimenopause and menopause come with major changes in the appearance of the skin. Collagen production drops drastically in the first years of menopause, that’s why it is possible to notice that the skin is drier and duller. Estrogen disturbances lead to the loss of skin elasticity, and you can face the appearance of “saggy skin” and more wrinkles. Every year, the natural production of hyaluronic acid also decreases, a reason why the skin loses water and has a dehydrated and dull appearance. We also lose subcutaneous fat, which gives the skin a more bony appearance, instead of the “full”, voluminous appearance characteristic of youth.
Specifically, menopause can have the following consequences on the skin:
- atrophy
- slowing down the activity of the skin tissue
- dryness
During menopause, the skin goes through two major changes:
Biological changes
The biological changes refer to the major reduction of the sebaceous function, the change in the dermal structure (the skin is less elastic and more prone to the formation of folds), the decrease in epidermal thickness.
Skin changes
Skin changes refer to the degradation of proteins and the slowing down of the cell renewal process, causing the accumulation of aged keratinocytes on the surface of the skin (dead cells). In other words, the natural exfoliation process of the skin is slowed down, and the complexion takes on a dull, lackluster appearance.
The clinically proven care ritual for beautiful skin at any age
Vichy laboratories wanted to create products with targeted results, which would meet the needs of premenopausal and menopausal skin. This is how the Neovadiol protocol was born.
Steps towards a complexion as you dreamed
1. Neovadiol Meno 5 Bi-Serum
After cleansing the skin, apply the Neovadiol Meno 5 Bi-Serum serum, which reactivates the skin’s mechanisms, helping to redensify and restore firmness and volume. It also prevents and fades pigmentation spots and wrinkles, eliminates dryness and restores the skin’s brightness and velvety appearance. It contains the latest generation ingredients: a unique combination of Proxylan and Cassia extract to compensate for the visible impact of hormonal fluctuations on the skin, niacinamide, vitamins Cg and E, glycolic acid, omega 6-9.
2. Neovadiol Peri-Menopause Day cream with redensifying and replenishing effect
After the serum, follows the application of the day cream, specially designed for smoothing the skin and redefining the contours of the face. Proxylan and Cassia extract compensate for the visible impact of hormonal fluctuations on the skin, and hyaluronic acid has a replenishing effect and improves skin elasticity.
3. Neovadiol Peri-menopause Night cream with redensifying and revitalizing effect
At this stage of life, separate night cream becomes a necessity. Neovadiol Peri-menopause Night cream with a redensifying and revitalizing effect was specially created by Vichy Laboratories to improve the brightness of the skin during the perimenopause period. Day after day, the skin will become more toned and brighter, with a younger appearance.
