I quickly sat down and grabbed some juice, trying to steady myself. That’s when it struck me—was my body showing signs of menopause?

It hit me that since the past few weeks, I was having mood swings, hot flashes, losing more hair than usual, and not to mention joint and muscle pain. Was it really happening to me?

Am I really going through MENOPAUSE?

Is it possible to even reverse menopause without undergoing hormone therapy? I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the very thought of these questions. As jittery as I felt, my husband saw me in that state and hugged me. He brought me some comfort, but later, I began to wonder how many women go through this alone, with preconceived notions about menopause and no one really talking about how it can affect your skin’s appearance.  

"I wondered why no one prepared me on how to deal with menopause the healthy way? Why do we dread it when it is a completely natural process?"

Not everyone has a loved one to comfort them during this time, so I decided to take it upon myself to learn everything I could about menopause. I wanted to understand it deeply so I could help others who might be feeling as lost as I did. 

Menopause affects not just our reproductive health, but our overall well-being—our mind, body, and soul. And, not to forget our SKIN.

Shedding Light on

Menopausal Wellness

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, yet it often feels like taboo. Many women face this transition with little preparation or support, leading to confusion and distress. So, here are some important aspects of menopausal health that no one talks about.  

The study revealed that among various daily activities, women reported the greatest impact on sleep, concentration, physical and mental fatigue, mental well-being, overall quality of life, and sense of enjoyment.

So, is there anything good about menopause?

3 Surprising Silver Linings

Of Menopause

1. Freedom From Monthly Menstrual Cycles:

Bid farewell to the unpredictability of monthly periods and not to forget the cramps. Ah, a relief from those. With menopause comes the end of menstruation, liberating you from the hassle of planning around it and the discomfort of menstrual symptoms. 

2. Natural Contraception:

Embrace the freedom from worrying about contraception. With menopause, the risk of pregnancy vanishes, allowing you to enjoy intimacy to the fullest without any restraint and concern of unintended pregnancy or the side effects of birth control methods. 

3. Reduced Body Hair Growth:

Experience the potential decrease in body hair growth. With lower estrogen and progesterone levels, some women notice thinner or disappearing body hair, eliminating the need for frequent hair removal rituals. This means, saying goodbye to epilators, razors, and waxing! 

With menopause there are two sides to a coin. For years, we've been blaming age for dry skin, but little did we know that menopause affects more than just our hormones. It also shows up clearly on our skin.   

What is the Vata stage?

In Ayurveda, there are 3 main stages in life, Kapha or childhood, Pitta or middle-to-late adulthood, and Vata or elderhood. So once you hit menopause, you have officially begun your Vata stage of life. During this stage, you will notice changes in your body such as:

• Dry skin

• Scanty bleeding during perimenopause

• Digestive discomfort

• Trouble concentrating or sleeping

• Anxiousness, worry, and fear

• Reduce bone density

Entering the Vata stage of life and hormonal changes are major contributors to accelerated skin dryness.

Menopause-Induced Aging: Dryness isn’t always just about getting older 

The skin on our face is often the first to show signs of menopause-induced dryness. The look of fine lines, wrinkles, ashy complexion, and a rough texture can become more pronounced.

Let's understand this link between menopause and how it affects your skin. 

Estrogen is a hormone that greatly influences our skin's health and appearance. It helps maintain skin hydration, thickness, and elasticity by promoting collagen production and improving the skin's ability to retain moisture. During menopause, estrogen levels drop significantly, leading to: 

Reduced Collagen Production 

Collagen is the protein responsible for skin's firmness and elasticity. With decreased estrogen, collagen production slows down, resulting in thinner, less elastic skin.

Decreased Oil Production 

Estrogen stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce oil, which keeps the skin lubricated and prevents dryness. Lower estrogen levels mean less oil production, leading to dry, flaky skin. 

These changes are pretty common during menopause, and there are ways to manage them. 

Many women don't realize their skincare routine needs to change! BUT HOW?

While drinking plenty of water is essential for overall hydration, your skin needs an extra boost. Proper moisturizing can help mitigate these effects.  But you might wonder, “Won’t any moisturizer work?”

In order to combat the appearance of accelerated signs of aging induced by menopause, you need a moisturizer that’s
