Menopausal Skin Needs Are Different
The skin changes we experience in menopause are quite specific, so we really need a tailored approach to treating them. Many women find that products they been using for years stop getting results or even worse, start to cause irritation. We need a fresh approach if we want great skin in menopause.
30% of collagen is lost in the first 5 years of menopause and the effect on our skin is dramatic – dryness, loss of radiance and firmness, hyperpigmentation, increased sensitivity, and breakouts are all common skin symptoms caused by fluctuating hormones. Our skin barrier starts to weaken making skin more reactive and less able to hold onto water.
In menopause our skin is confused – dry, irritated, and lacking in radiance on the one hand but breaking out in spots on the other. It can be hard to know how to treat one symptom without aggravating another. We wanted to create a complete skincare regime that would target the unique, often conflicting, needs of skin in menopause.
It can be really tempting when you see changes in your skin to try all the latest products and layer lots of different ingredients adding more steps in your skincare regime. We know from personal experience this isn’t the best approach in menopause. Using lots of different products can overload your skin, causing more problems than it solves. Layering lots of different products and ingredients can be a recipe for breakouts, inflammation, and increased dryness – exactly what you are trying to avoid. As your hormones change, your skin becomes much weaker and prone to sensitivity. Our expertly curated range of super effective products delivers glowing, healthy skin in menopause.

The Best Cleanser for Menopausal Skin
A nourishing cream cleanser is the best cleanser format to use in menopause as it keeps skin supple and hydrated and protects against skin dryness. It’s best to avoid foaming cleansers and balms that can strip natural oils from the skin and disrupt skin’s natural barrier leading to dryness and inflammation. Living M 2-in-1 Cream Cleanser & Mask is an intensely nourishing cream cleanser and face mask in one luxurious product. An indulgent blend of antioxidants, vitamins, nourishing natural oils and uplifting neroli blossom water. These superstar ingredients are designed to rejuvenate menopausal skin. The best bit? It’s so nourishing it can also be used as a face mask as either a 10 minute or intensive treatment.

The Best Retinol for Overnight Rejuvenation in Menopause
There is no other skincare ingredient that will do as much for your skin as retinol -it’s the gold standard skincare ingredient for ageing well.
