Daily Skincare during Menopause and Perimenopause: A Complete Routine with Elder Or Not Skincare
Skin Changes during Menopause and Perimenopause
Perimenopause and Menopause are natural phases in every woman's life. Hormonal changes with declining estrogen levels bring about changes that impact the skin. It is advisable to adjust your skincare routine to address these changes early on to keep your skin balanced and glowing.
Perimenopause usually starts during your 40's, sometimes earlier. This is a time in a woman's life during which the body makes the natural transition to menopause. Major hormonal fluctuations during this time can cause skin issues such as increased irritation and rashes, breakouts, itchy skin and increased dryness and dehydration. Using effective natural skincare that will help to soothe and calm the skin and staying away from highly comedogenic ingredients to minimise breakouts is essential at this stage. Opt for products that will help to slow down and correct signs of ageing and provide plenty of moisture and hydration for your skin.
Menopause is a time when due to lower hormone levels your periods end. Menopause officially begins when your periods have stopped for 12 consecutive months. This usually happens between the ages 45-55, sometimes earlier. The effects of menopause on the skin can include thinning skin, loss of volume, loss of firmness, increased dryness and itchy skin. Using skincare that stimulates skin regeneration, supports healthy skin barrier function and helps to firm and tighten the skin will be beneficial at this stage. Look for products that provide plenty of moisture and hydration for your skin.
Elder Or Not Skincare 4-step daily skincare routine - effortless care formulated for midlife women.
Our Effortless 4-Step Skincare Routine using the Elder Or Not Skincare Range
Evening routine:
1. Apply 'Soothing Cleansing Balm', our softening balm-to-milk cleanser to remove make-up and daily dirt and grime. Bring the product to skin temperature with gentle circular movements avoiding dragging or stretching the skin. A thorough cleanse is essential in the evening to prepare the skin for sleep. Double cleanse if necessary.
2. Apply 'Firming Eye Cream' to the eye area. Products specifically formulated for the delicate eye area are light in texture and contain the right ingredients in the right amounts to suit the fine textured skin of the eye contours. Firming Eye Cream will minimise and slow down signs of ageing, firm the eyelid area and combat puffiness and dark circles.
3. Apply 'Regenerate+ Facial Concentrate'. This serum booster is packed with active ingredients, light-textured and designed to penetrate deep into the skin. The skin does its best healing and regenerating work at night and absorbs active ingredients more readily too. Adding this step to your routine will multiply the results you are looking for.
4. Apply 'Rose Renew Moisture Cream' or 'Winter Cream Intensive Moisture Cream' depending on the season. These rich, velvety moisturisers will help regenerate and firm the skin, smooth the appearance of fine lines, calm, hydrate and moisturise the skin and offer superior barrier protection to menopausal skin.
Morning routine:
1. The skin produces beneficial lipids at night which protect your skin barrier. Thorough cleansing is not essential in the morning. Try splashing with water or use a hydrating mist instead.
2. Apply eye cream and moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated, soft, supple and protected against the elements throughout the day.
3. Apply sunscreen if you are spending longer periods of time outdoors. A light foundation with added SPF applied on top of your moisturiser is perfect for everyday protection from the sun.
