Mature Skin: The Effects of Menopause on Your Complexion
Our skin changes as we age. Although we may not have to deal with spots anymore, mature skin has its own set of challenges, particularly after menopause.

Reduction of collagen production
The dramatic reduction in the production of collagen and elastin. Put simply, you’re just not producing the amount of collagen you did when you were 20. Collagen is the protein that makes up the skin’s structure and elasticity. However, after the age of 20, we begin to lose 1.5% of our collagen every year!Increased inflammation
Skin ageing and inflammation are linked. Inflammation impacts the stratum corneum barrier, which helps your skin maintain healthy hydration. How? Inflammation messes up the metabolic balance of this barrier, which decreases cellular metabolic activity and collagen renewal. This shows up in your complexion as reduced skin elasticity and visible lines and wrinkles.Slow down time
Although you may not be able to stop ageing (unless you have a painting in your attic somewhere, it is possible to slow it down to help you maintain proper DHEA production up to and after menopause. Of course, it helps to fuel your body with whole foods containing DHEA, including soya bean and wild yam. Also, be sure to embrace those healthy fats that contain Omega 3 & 9 fatty acids, including olive oil, flax seeds and fatty fish like salmon.Phytoestrogens
