Menopause | skin care & wellness tips

24 November 2021




This phase of woman's life - menopause - marks the end of the fertile age, and it comes with some unpleasant symptoms, At SweetCare we have the best care give back your comfort!

Menopause is caused by the decline in production of female sex hormones, especially estrogen; which are involved in several metabolic processes. In this sense, the whole female organism can be affected, from the cardiovascular system to bone health, without forgetting the skin.

The symptoms are diverse, they affect many aspects of a woman's life, and depending on each person they can last from 2 to 5 years; interfering in self-esteem, wellbeing and sometimes even in family relationships.

At this stage, it is extremely important to meet your doctor in order to evaluate the need of starting a personalized therapy. However, there are precautions that you can also add to your daily routine and which will make a big difference!

 

 

The estrogens are involved in skin collagen synthesis, but also in promoting skin moisturization. Therefore, after menopause the skin tends to become drier, less firm and it's renewal slows down significantly.

These factors result in a faster increase in the number and depth of wrinkles, loss of firmness and also lightness.

In order to slow down the skin aging process, and also give your comfort; we have some suggestions for you:

 

SVRVichyEvauxRen

 

 

 

 

 

1. SVR Densitum bi-serum anti-gravity, density and nutrition: With anti-gravity action, for increased skin density and nutrition. This cream makes the skin become smoother, with a more defined oval. It contains ultrafragmentad hyaluronic acid and biocalcium, as well as Edelweiss, Artemisia extracts; and nutritious vegetable oils;

2. Vichy Neovadiol rose platinum: nourishing action and beeswax combine the power of mineralising Vichy water and calcium ; forming a rich, fortifying and revitalizing cream; that gives the skin a pinky colour. Thought especially for women who have gone through menopause;

3. Evoskin anti-âge: soy isoflavones outweigh the lack of estrogens, and it's rich texture moisturizes dry skin;

4. REN Sirtuin phytohormone restorative cream for mature skin: With Sirtuin activators, which prolong the cell's lives; but also phytosterols, with features similar to those of natural estrogens.

 

The lack of estrogens also has influence on female genital health, causing vaginal dryness, itching and irritation. These symptoms relate to the atrophy of the vaginal walls caused by the loss of collagen; as well as a loss of mucosal barrier that is characterized by an increased vaginal pH. In this body region, the acidic pH is responsible for mucosal protection against bacterial and fungal infections.Vaginal dryness is one of the main c

auses for the discomfort during sexual activity, and sometimes it can significantly compromise the coupe relationship.

At SweetCare we have multiple available solutions adapted to relieve the symptoms of menopause in this intimate area:

 

SesdermaGinixA DermaIsdin

 

 

 

 

 

1. Sesderma Nanocare intimate revitalizer with reaffirming and toning effect: Firming, suitable for vaginal dryness, vaginal muscle distension and for the loss of firmness and tonicity of the intimate zone;

2. Ginix Gel plus lubrifiant: to reduce the insufficient lubrication of the vaginal mucous membrane;

4. Isdin woman intim moisturizer vaginal gel cream: this gel protects the vulvar area of dryness, irritation and itching to provide a barrier protection.

 

 

The estrogens are involved in bone mass regeneration, being very important to maintain a balanced diet, rich in minerals and vitamins that are essential bone maintenance. A proper supplementation of calcium and vitamin D appears to be effective in reducing the risk of hip fracture; and studies relating to the impact that the intake of soy isoflavones can have on bone health also suggest some benefits. It is of note that if you had breast cancer or in case you have a high risk of developing this disease, you should not take supplements containing isoflavones or other phytosterols.

Also the cardiovascular health can be compromised at this stage because the estrogens have a protective function over this system. At this stage of woman's life, some changes tend to occur in body morphology and fat distribution, but there may also happen a glucose tolerance reduction (increased blood sugar), altered lipid profile, increased blood pressure and inflammation of blood vessels.

During menopause women may feel signs of fatigue, irritability, insomnia and nervousness; that when associated with nutritional deficiencies can be exacerbated. Some of theses signs can be eased with the intake of certain plant extracts rich in phytonutrients. Also, magnesium in particular can be an interesting nutrient to supplement, since some studies associate the lack of this mineral to greater severity of mood swings.

All these aspects result in different nutritional requirements, which sometimes can be filled through the intake of supplements specially designed for this stage of woman's life:

 

MenopaceMenopaceCentrumBioActivo

 

 

 

 

 

1. Menopace: with 22 carefully selected nutrients, containing vitamins, minerals and soy isoflavones (20 mg), as well as a set of active plant extracts that can potentiate it's effectiveness;
