WHY IS MY SKIN SO DRY DURING MENOPAUSE?

Having dry skin during menopause is very common.
Dryness is one of the major clinical changes during facial skin ageing in post- menopausal women. Of all mature women’s dermatological conditions, dry skin is one of the most common.

A recent survey of 3,875 postmenopausal women over 40 showed that 36.2% suffered from dry skin.

This is caused by decreased levels of oestrogen and progesterone. In your 50's, the pH level of the skin changes as well as the ability to hold water, your metabolism slows down and skin becomes drier, dull, less firm and less smooth. 

There are various symptoms of menopausal dry skin. Symptoms include:

• Tight skin after showering or swimming
• Flaky or peeling skin
• Cracks on hands and feet
• Itchy skin
• You can notice grey or ashy tones on your skin if you have a darker skin tone.

These skin changes happen when the renewal of the keratinocytes (cells constituting 90% of the surface layer of the skin) slows down and causes accumulation of aged cells on the epidermal surface. The lipid barrier therefore becomes less organized, causing skin to lose its resistance.

In addition, your naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid becomes highly sensitive to degradation by a special enzyme called hyaluronidase and this causes progressive worsening of hydration and firmness.

The lipid barrier is less well organized, thus the dryness

Products designed for Menopausal Skin

Neovadiol range is designed specially to target menopausal skin symptoms. Your skin can need different things from Perimenopause to Post-Menopause therefore we have our Neovadiol Perimenopause products for Perimenopause and Menopause and then our Neovadiol Rose Platinium for Post-Menopausal skincare.

Key elements to remember
Dryness of the skin is due to a lack of hydration provoked by decreased levels of oestrogen. When its balance is disturbed, your skin is not able to function properly and has trouble retaining moisture levels.

FINDING THE RIGHT ANTI-AGEING REGIME FOR YOU

Get to know Vichy’s four expert ageing skincare ranges with our simple guide.

As we get older, the needs of our skin change and the products we could once rely on may not achieve the same results. So, in order to help you create a new updated skincare routine, we’ve created four different ranges - each designed to address a unique ageing concern, from environmental pollution, to hormonal changes during the menopause to targeting deep-set lines and wrinkles.

Liftactiv Specialist

Who is it for?

Women with a fast-paced lifestyle who want expert, results driven, high-intensity skincare.

What is it?

Liftactiv Specialist is our most science-led expert ageing range. Its formulations are innovative, exciting and designed to support the skin’s natural collagen and Hyaluronic Acid which deplete with age. This range also helps to improve the appearance of sagginess, pigmentation and wrinkling in the skin.

How can I use it in my routine?

Begin with two pumps of Minéral 89. This will form a protective and strengthening base layer that protects your face from environmental aggressors. Follow this with Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Daily Cream. Its formula, enriched with biopeptides and antioxidant Vitamin Cg, is designed to target visible signs of ageing such as collagen loss while protecting it against UV-induced oxidative stress. In the evening after cleansing, apply the Liftactiv Hyalu Mask to help hydrate the top layer of your skin with natural origin high and low weight hyaluronic acid.

Liftactiv Supreme

Who is it for?

Women who want to improve the look of wrinkles while lifting and firming the appearance of their skin.

What is it?

Liftactiv Supreme is our most advanced expert ageing range that works to target the 10 main signs of ageing in more mature skin. Drawing on the power of ingredients such as Rhamnose (a liquid extracted from birch trees that is well known for its anti-ageing qualities), hydrating Hyaluronic Acid and strengthening Vichy Mineralizing Water, each product is clinically proven to improve the appearance of ageing and mature skin.

How can I use it in my routine?

Follow Vichy’s Minéral 89 with a serum such as Liftactiv Serum 10 to target and improve the appearance of ageing signs while helping to accelerate surface cell renewal. For targeted treatment around the eye area, add a couple of drops of Liftactiv Serum 10 Eyes & Lashes, dabbing lightly around the contour with your ring finger. Use Liftactiv Supreme HA Epidermic Filler before applying Liftactiv Supreme Cream to reduce the signs of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.

Slow Âge

Who is it for?

Women living in busy, urban areas who want to target the first signs of ageing

What is it?

Slow Âge is a probiotic-enriched skincare range ideal for those who live in built-up urban areas and are concerned about environmental factors such as diet, pollution and UV on their skin. (Aggressors known scientifically as the Exposome which contribute up to 80% of premature skin ageing). Products within the Slow Âge range are our best anti-ageing creams and moisturisers to fight against these aggressors while helping to repair any damage they may have already caused.

How can I use it in my routine?

For a targeted everyday routine, always begin with two pumps of Minéral 89. This hydrating and protecting serum will hydrate the skin with Vichy Mineralizing Water and Hyaluronic Acid, while protecting it from environmental aggressors. Follow this with a Slow Âge moisturiser – either the Fluid Moisturiser with SPF 25 protection or the slightly richer day cream with SPF 30. Both of these products can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines while revealing the appearance of a fresher and more even-looking complexion.

Neovadiol

Who is it for?

More mature skin pre, post and during the menopause

What is it?

Neovadiol is an advanced skincare range designed specifically for women entering, during and post menopause. Created after 15 years of research and clinical testing, choose from serums, moisturisers and night creams that can help to improve hydration levels, the appearance of wrinkles and protect the skin against further environmental damage.

How can I use it in my routine?

After beginning your routine with a thin application of Vichy’s protective and strengthening Minéral 89 serum, follow with a daily moisturiser such as Neovadiol’s Rose Platinum. Designed for more mature skin, its nourishing and fortifying formula contains beeswax and minerals and leaves the complexion comfortable and healthy looking. Rosy pigments also add a touch of colour and radiance to the skin.

Like all skin products, Vichy Neovadiol Meno 5 BI-Serum can cause side effects, however, this may be less likely.

WHICH STAGE OF MENOPAUSE AM I?
From perimenopause to post menopause, learn about the different stages and discover which skincare products are right for your skin.

PERIMENOPAUSE
The time leading up to the Menopause when people can experience irregular periods or other menopausal symptoms. Perimenopause can be over several, typically lasting 4 to 8 years.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PERIMENOPAUSE?
There are many symptoms associated with perimenopause, not every person will experience symptoms and the experience of symptoms will be different from person to person.

Whilst this is not an exhaustive list, symptoms may include: Hot flushes, Night sweats, Loss of sleep, Anxiety, Dizziness, Fatigue, Memory loss, Mind fog, Depression, Headaches, Recurrent UTIs, Joint stiffness, aches and pains, Reduced concentration and Heavy periods.

HOW MAY PERIMENOPAUSE AFFECT YOUR SKIN?
At perimenopause, due to shifts in oestrogen levels and associated collagen production decline, the skin can become increasingly dry, tight and irritated. Skin loses overall elasticity and plumpness, causing skin to sag with fine lines and wrinkles appearing more pronounced, particularly around the mouth and eyes.

MENOPAUSE
Menopause is the biological stage in most women's lives when they have stopped menstruating.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF MENOPAUSE?
Most women will experience menopausal symptoms, which can have a significant impact on everyday activities and last around 4 years after your last period. However, it's important to note that some women experience symptoms for much longer.

Common symptoms include:

• Hot flushes
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
• Difficulty sleeping
• Low mood or anxiety
• Reduced sex drive (libido)
• Problems with memory and concentration

POST-MENOPAUSE
This is the time after menopause. For someone with intact ovaries, this is typically defined as more than 12 months with no periods. If the ovaries have been removed, this is immediately following surgery.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF POST MENOPAUSE?
Menopausal symptoms can last around 4 years after your last period. However, it's important to note that some women experience symptoms for much longer. Post-menopausal symptoms are due to an estrogen deficiency on the bladder and vagina, following bladder and vaginal symptoms most often occurring a few years after the last period, or a few years after stopping HRT. Common symptoms include:

• Passing urine more often by day and/or by night
• Discomfort on passing urine
• Urine infection

HOW CAN I HELP MY SKIN DURING MENOPAUSE?

THE BEST ADVICE FROM VICHY FOR A GOOD SKIN CARE ROUTINE:

Menopause is a very personal journey, deeply linked to your genes and familial heritage. Yet there are also a series of external factors. Those external factors can be managed with the help of a good skin-care routine. You are not alone facing menopause, we are here to help you understand what is happening in order to help you fight back.

Skin ageing is a result of both genetic and external factors

During perimenopause some negative changes like skin thinning, microcirculation disorders, degradation of collagen and elastic fibres, glycation and decreased sebum secretion become noticeable, and let’s face it, kind of rude too!

The good news is you can reduce these symptoms of menopause with the right skin-care routine recommended by your dermatologist and there are some universal rules:

• Wash your face with a fragrance-free cleanser that is safe for your dry and sensitized skin.
• Apply moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid, humectants (e.g. glycerin) generously on the face and body whenever you feel dry (at least twice a day).
• The good rhythm: wash gently, hydrate generously.
• Pay attention to skincare products rich in ceramides or omega 3 or 6 (e.g. shea butter, rice bran oil and safflower oil) that help to restore decreased levels of skin fatty acids responsible for flexibility and proper skin barrier functioning.

You may also need gentle daily exfoliation to provide better skin hydration and to encourage cell renewal while unclogging pores. Depending on your skin's condition, enzymatic peels, exfoliating polish or products based on glycolic acid are recommended.

Use skin-care products (creams, serums) that contain retinol, growth factors, phyto-hormones, amino acids, vitamins C, E and A, peptides and other molecules regularly to address the signs of ageing.

It is also essential to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, really an UVA one, before going out and always reapplying regularly. This priceless habit will protect your skin from sun damage, progressive skin thinning and photo-ageing. So let’s not wait any longer, all right?

Key elements to remember for a good menopause skin care routine

A proper skin-care routine can prevent and help with your menopausal skin changes, here are the ingredients to seek out for in your products:

Moisturizers: Hyaluronic acid, glycerin or other humectants (substances that attract water from the air or from deeper in the skin). 

Creams, serums and other skin-care products: omega oils, retinol, phyto-hormones, amino acids, vitamins C, E and A, peptides.

Exfoliating products: glycolic acid.

This product is not a medicine. If no improvement in skin condition is seen or if problems persist, consult a healthcare professional. 

For external use only.

• Do not use it, if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
• Avoid contact with eyes and lips. In case of contact with eyes, rinse them immediately and thoroughly. In case of irritation space out applications and if irritation persists discontinue to use and consult a physician or your Rightdose pharmacist.
