Celebrity Facialist & Renowned Skin Expert Pietro Simone, who has created cutting edge clinics and a new collection of skincare products under the label FIERCE has tried his products on my skin and has given me excellent tips on Peri-Menopausal & Menopausal Skin.  Pietro Simone’s range totally suits my Mediterranean complexion and I love the fact that they aren’t greasy. In his comments Pietro highlighted things that debunk myths for skin problems such as peri-menopausal/menopausal skin, to help those with such skin issues, to regain balance.

Pietro recognises the importance to first understand what peri-menopausal/menopausal skin is- from what causes it to what can make it worse and how to break these cycles to stop from having this skin condition.

 

Some Facts about Menopausal Skin:

Menopausal Skin is reduced collagen, fat & elasticity. Increased dryness, age spots & pigmentation. Studies show that a woman’s skin loses approximately 30% of its collagen during the first 5 yrs of menopause.

As levels of hormones drop before & during menopause, some women develop teenage-like acne.

Approximately at the age of 50, the Ph level of our skin changes-with this change, skin becomes more sensitive and is likely to develop rashes, & irritations.

Hormones play an important role in healing skin. When hormone levels fall, skin takes longer to heal. As estrogen levels decrease, skin becomes thinner and therefore is prone to increased bruising.

Pietro’s Top Lifestyle Tips For Menopausal Skin:

• Seek advice from your medical doctor on hormonal treatments
• Remember: Menopause is not Taboo! Own it and find your own balance!
• There are many natural treatments, seek advice!
• Gua Sha your face & Body- It really Helps!
• Food is a crucial portal, feed your body & skin with natural sources that support this stage of life
• Meditation and breathing techniques can really help
• Always remember to drink water!
