Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing... these are daily essentials for healthy skin. But as you approach 50, a few additional habits can make a significant difference. Let’s explore the ideal rituals and treatments to keep your skin radiant and healthy as menopause approaches.

 

 


Why Adapt Your Skincare Routine at 50?

With age, your skin undergoes notable changes, especially during menopause. These shifts include reduced elasticity, hydration, and vitality due to a slowdown in cellular and hormonal functions. The production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to thinner skin, fine lines, and less defined facial contours. Additionally, reduced sebum production makes the skin more prone to dryness and irritation. Blood vessels may also weaken, causing redness, sensitivity, and sometimes rosacea.

To maintain healthy skin, it’s essential to adopt a targeted skincare routine that addresses these changes.
