Menopause is a time of great change in a female body, and what is happening on the inside can have an effect on your skin. Our essential guide to natural menopausal skin care is intended to help you understand how your skin may react and assist in adjusting your beauty regime. For each of the issues we make a recommendation for natural products to try from our pure and natural skin care range.
Menopause Skin Symptoms:
Slower skin repair and increased wrinkle formation
During the menopause protein synthesis diminishes which results in reduced production and repair of collagen and elastin in the dermis of the skin. This increases the likelihood of wrinkles forming, reduces elasticity and means that your skin takes longer to recover from blemishes.
Supporting your skin with Miracle Balm™ will help restore and rejuvenate the supportive structures of the skin, including collagen and elastin. The potent natural plant actives in Miracle Balm™ have remarkable youth-boosting benefits whilst also being very gentle on your skin.
The appearance of age spots
As oestrogen production decreases during the menopause, it has less control over melanin synthesis in the skin. This means you are more likely to develop age spots, also known as hyperpigmentation. These most commonly appear on your face, hands, neck, chest and arms - those areas which have been exposed to most UV radiation over the years.

Naturally inhibiting skin pigmentation is key, using a combination of plant actives to reduce production of the skin pigment melanin by:
1) Inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase which is responsible for initiating melanin production
2) Restricting the transfer of freshly formed melanin into cells called malanosomes where it matures and develops its brown colouration;
3) Exfoliating mature, melanin-containing skin cells to reveal younger, lighter coloured underlying skin cells.

Back to Nature offers a Custom-Made Option to aid with any of these.
Development of sagging skin and cellulite
As oestrogen levels drop during menopause, fat deposits in the skin often become concentrated over the stomach and on the thighs and buttocks. The redistribution of fat deposits reduces the thickness of the supportive fat layer beneath the skin of the face, neck, hands and arms which means the skin can start to sag. Counteract sagging and cellulite with Back To Nature's natural exfoliating mud and anti-cellulite toning cream

Increased tendency for spots and blemishes
You may find that during the menopause, your skin develops spots or acne, even if you have not suffered these problems for years. The reason is that cell renewal slows down and your sebaceous glands have begun to secrete a thicker form of sebum, which can lead to the appearance of oily skin. This can also cause blockage of the pores, increasing the tendency toward adult acne in some women.
Spot and sebum control with our Willow Bark Cleansing Bar and a natural Anti-Blemish cream.
Our Mineral Rich Clay with tea tree and lavender will help draw out impurities and gently exfoliate excess dead skin cells to reduce the risk of pore blockage, and to help control the bacteria responsible for acne spot formation.
As well as the issues we have covered here, menopausal skin can also be sensitive to harsh ingredients that are found in many anti-ageing products. Back to Nature Ltd is a natural organic beauty range of treatments specifically developed for all skin types, including mature skin, which does not contain drying alcohol, parabens, methylisothiazolinone, SLS, artificial fragrances or any other questionable ingredients.
