Menopause and Your Skin

Did you know that the reason skin loses its youthful appearance with age is the decline in hormone levels? When menopause occurs, the production of B-Estradiol (estrogen) begins to decline. In fact, this process can start as early as 5 to 10 years prior to menopause. Many women experience symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats during this period, but what you may not realize is that this could also be causing your dry skin.

Estrogen stimulates the formation of collagen and oils, which keep your skin firm, smooth, and elastic. When this hormone decreases, dry and itchy skin often occurs. That's not all, you may notice that the change in hormone levels also hinders your body's ability to retain moisture.

Don't wait until menopause. A preventative skin care regimen is your best defence. A healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, and the reducing of stress levels will also help minimize and even reverse the damage done.

If you need a more proactive approach, treatments like KiwiFox Aquasurge actually reverse skin dryness caused by menopause, while strengthening the skin's natural barrier to retain moisture more effectively. More importantly, Aquasurge packs powerful antioxidants that reduce collagen breakdown. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid, which is crucial to the body’s synthesis of collagen and elastin; the two most important substances in fighting the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
