When you reach perimenopause and menopause, many changes can occur to your skin as a result of the dip in oestrogen.  Many women don’t always realise they’re in perimenopause until a few changes to their skin and overall wellbeing start to take place. 

Balance Me, a high-performance natural skincare brand, is on a mission to help women recognise the signs, and be empowered when it comes to looking after their skin during menopause.

It is a well-known fact that we lose up to 30% collagen in the first five years after menopause.  This loss of collagen begins in perimenopause and can lead to loss of elasticity, sagging, and skin that feels less plump.  Wrinkles and fine lines can start to look more pronounced, and skin can look lacklustre with less glow. Some women experience sensitivity such as a redness, breakouts, itchy skin or acne, while others experience hot flushes.  What this shows is that the skin changes can be very varied from person to person, and it’s vital to use the right ingredients and products that will nourish, hydrate and calm skin during menopause.

As a natural skincare brand, Balance Me advocate using high-performance natural bio-actives during menopause that work to balance skin, solving skin concerns without creating others.  There are some key products in the Balance Me range that help address the hormonal changes and skin symptoms.
