Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2024!
I hope you are having some fun in the sun. The temperatures are starting to feel scorching hot, so stay safe and hydrated when you’re outside.
As you know, I take a holistic approach to health. I believe that you have to nurture every aspect of yourself to live your best life.
Take your skin’s health for instance.
Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your entire body? YES!
But It’s more than just how you look; the health of your skin impacts how you feel from the inside out.
If you are a female, you might remember how the “first” big change (puberty) changed your skin, but what about the second big change of life?
Your skin goes through a transformation during menopause, too.
The changes you’ll see in your skin are largely led by a decrease in estrogen within the body. The result is skin that feels drier, loses elasticity, and is more prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles.
What most women do is go straight to the anti-aging aisle, but what they SHOULD be doing is learning how to support their skin through the change it’s experiencing.
That’s what I’ve done. I have my own personal regimen that’s been working for me for years and I absolutely love it.
I’ve had so many compliments from people on how well my skin looks in my 70’s and I have also received multiple requests asking me to do a video on how I take care of my skin. So I decided to oblige and share my routine.

My skincare regimen includes these basics and more. So I’m just sharing. Find what works for you!
Overall a supportive post-menopause skincare regimen should include the following basics:
- Gentle cleanser – Every great skincare routine should start with a great cleanser! For skin during and after menopause, this means focusing on gentle cleansing and hydration. You want clean skin, but you don’t want to strip it of natural moisture.
- Serum – Skin serums are packed densely with the nutrients your skin needs, and they’re formulated to melt right in where these ingredients will get to work. Within the first 5 years of menopause, skin can lose up to 30% of its natural collagen, so picking out a serum with collagen is a great way to stay skin supportive. Other ingredients to look for in your serum may include Vitamin C for brightening, Retinol to gently exfoliate, and peptides to stimulate elastin production.
- Moisturizer – Hydration is goal number one after menopause. This locks in your serum and ensures your skin won’t dry out through the day or night. Find a moisturizer with sunscreen for that added bit of UV protection!
When you look good, you feel good and you do better so nourish every aspect of your health.
