Let’s talk Menopause

We are pleased that the once taboo ‘M’ word has become a subject much more talked about in recent years. After all, it is inevitable and affects us all and here at JASON, where we are pro-age, we like to talk confidently about it. Menopause is technically when a woman has been without her period for 12 months. Often common with women over 50, it can occur earlier, known as peri-menopause. Besides the hot flushes, low moods, night sweats, brain fog, weight gain, breast tenderness, joint pains and many more, the menopause can also affect the health of our skin, nails and hair. Here’s what you need to know…

Shifts in skin

As hormone levels decrease during menopause it can bring changes to your skin – some of the most common affects are dryness, sagging and thinning skin. It’s important to invest time into amping up your skincare routine with some plant-powered ingredients to help strengthen skin’s barrier. Think highly nourishing Vitamin E that helps to lock-in essential water and electrolytes to protects the skin against dehydration and stresses while helping to encourage skin cell regeneration.

Hormones and hair

When we transition into menopause we experience a dry scalp, brittleness, thinning and hair loss. You’re not alone and it’s normal as our oestrogen levels start to decrease. To help stabilise the condition of your scalp and overall hair health look to powerful ingredients like:

• Hyaluronic acid that plumps strands with moisture so it looks fuller and thicker,
• Highly effective Biotin and panthenol that helps to stimulate hair growth and restore thinning, weak hair,
• Nourishing ingredients like Jojoba oil and castor oil that treats weakened damaged hair and
• Smoothing coconut oil that acts as an intensive mask for scalp and hair.
