In menopause, the decline of collagen married with hormonal changes can wreak havoc with the skin. What starts with slightly dryer more sensitive skin can lead to loss of elasticity, wrinkles, noticeable drooping and a grey lack lustre tone.
My top recommendation is to use natural skincare with a high proportion of organic ingredients that's entirely free of synthetics including preservatives that dry out and age the skin and in some studies damage the skin cells. Avoid make up where possible, cleansing with soap and (controversially) SPF skincare too unless you have particular requirements.
The cleanse should not strip the skin of its natural oils. The Zing Organics Eco Marine Cleanser is a luxurious melt style balm packed with nourishing botanicals including a proven collagen boosting seaweed active that leaves the skin deeply moisturised. A pea sized amount melted between the palms is applied to the face neck and décolleté before taking a warm clean flannel to gently press off any excess stickiness. Many more mature customers leave the product on all day long as an intensely nourishing and moisturising crème.
I'd then suggest a spritz or two of our Rosy Glow Facial Toning mist of organic Bulgarian roses which is gorgeously hydrating with a myriad of anti ageing properties. Rose carries the highest palpable healing frequency for healing and its smell is so uplifting.
Finally I'd recommend taking a few drops of our Budding Beauty Facial Serum in Restorative Cannabis Flower with Bergamot and Rose Geranium. Packed with intensely moisturising components, this anti inflammatory and healing product restores the elasticity of the skin instantly and is even wonderfully healing in cases of psoriasis and eczema. The glorious all botanical pure essential oil aroma accord is soothing to body and mind as its balancing to the female hormones. Take a few drops between the palms and inhale deeply before massaging in upward outward motions to the face, neck and décolleté.
