Our Guide to Your Ultimate Perimenopause + Menopause Skincare Glow-Up
emPOWERing Menopause With Ghost Democracy Products
Let's talk about something real, something powerful, something every woman experiences: perimenopause and menopause. It's a natural transition, a new chapter, and guess what? You're not alone in navigating the changes it brings, especially when it comes to your skin!
Perimenopause, the lead-up to menopause, typically begins in our 40s (though it can start earlier!), bringing a wave of hormonal shifts that can impact our skin in all sorts of ways. Dryness, fine lines, changes in texture… sound familiar? It's like your skin is going through its own little (or sometimes big!) reboot.
Now, when you start actively addressing these changes are entirely up to you. Some women notice subtle shifts in their late 30s or early 40s and jump into preventative skincare. Others might not feel the need until things become more pronounced. There's no "right" time! But knowing what's happening and how to support your skin is key.
Understanding the Shift: Hormones & Your Skin
Estrogen is a major player in skin health. As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause, so does collagen production, moisture retention, and cell turnover. It's like your skin's built-in support system needs a little extra love.
