How does menopause impact your skin?
How does menopause impact your skin? Oestrogen is an essential ingredient in maintaining healthy skin. It activates oestrogen receptors in key skin cells, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to promote healthy skin and a vibrant looking appearance. As oestrogen levels decrease during menopause, the skin loses a large amount of collagen over a short space of time.

Overview of Hormones and Oestrogen in Women
Oestrogen appears to play a central role in the immune response but can too much of it be a good thing? When clients come to me with hormonal imbalances or symptoms that range from oily skin and acne, digestive upset, PMS, or heavy, painful periods, the digestion and liver are two of the first areas we address. The liver is key to metabolism, detoxification, nutrient absorption, blood sugar balance, and immune system function. It is quite the superhero of the body.

Menopause/Perimenopause .
Edelle O'Doherty. Perimenopause Programme -Why do it?‘Adapting the terrain to support a natural hormonal progression’Menopause is a natural part of every woman’s life. It’s not a disease; it’s a journey that requires support, and this journey starts long before any symptoms appear. The optimal time to consider adding extra support is in the decade leading up to Perimenopause. It’s never too late though, so don’t be alarmed if like many women, you’re already way past this point and experiencing a myriad of unwanted symptoms. This programme has the potential to bring significant benefits at any stage.The Perimenopause Programme isn’t designed simply to trouble-shoot individual symptoms, instead it takes a full 360° view of your health, considering the body as a dynamic set of interconnected systems that all have the potential to influence each other. The menopausal journey is not only concerned with sex hormones (oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone) but involves gut health, adrenals, thyroid, blood sugar balance, oestrogen metabolism and biotransformation processes too. The good news is that by taking this wider panoramic view, and adapting the overall terrain, the body is well placed to move seamlessly through this hormonal journey.“Supporting the menopausal journey is a bit like helping a whole orchestra to play in harmony; the aim is always high and we want every single instrument playing in tune” Jo Gamble. Jo Gamble was the first Functional Medicine Practitioner in the UK

Your guide to menopausal skin: how menopause affects skin & the best ways to manage it
Menopause has a significant impact on a woman’s skin . As our hormones decrease, so too does a substantial percentage of our collagen, leading to an increase in lines, wrinkles, and looser skin, as well as several other potential skin issues. In this ultimate guide, we address the skin changes you may notice and advise how best to prevent or treat them, so you proactively manage this transition and thrive during it, rather than feel overwhelmed!Perimenopause is the lesser-known of the two – it is the transitioning period marking the end of our reproductive years, when ovaries slow down the production of hormones (progesterone and oestrogen) and you may start to notice physical symptoms as a result. Periods become unpredictable, irregular, and eventually stop due to the decline in ovarian function. Perimenopause can last for months or years but it may not be obvious that you are perimenopausal if you only have mild or few symptoms.

First, we must understand exactly how and why chest wrinkles are formed, then, after a short guide to prevention, we will discuss how to eliminate any existing wrinkles.
