As if the mood swings, hot flashes and sleepless nights weren’t bad enough, menopause can also wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it feeling dry, itchy and in some cases prone to acne.
On top of this, your skin may start to lose its firmness, and begin to sag due to a loss of collagen - also caused by menopause. Although nothing will stop these changes from happening completely, there are great products out there to help reduce the effects which menopause is having on your skin - and there’s one product in particular which shoppers are calling ‘magic.’
No7’s much-loved menopause range which boasts five products has been formulated to target the main signs and skin symptoms that occur when the body goes through menopause, and oestrogen and collagen declines.
One stand-out product from the range which shoppers love is the £32.95 No7 Menopause Skincare Protect and Hydrate Day Cream which customers say ‘keeps their skin hydrated all day’ and ‘leaves skin glowing.’
Suitable for sensitive skin, the day cream has been proven to hydrate skin for 72 whole hours, and is packed with skin-loving ingredients like Niacinamide and Glycerin.
Best of all? It’s also formulated with SPF 30 broad spectrum protection to help protect your skin from UV damage and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In a study conducted by No7, 8/10 saw better results compared to their usual day cream, and many users claimed their skin felt less dry and sensitive in just one week.
One customer who was sceptical to begin with, went on to leave a five-star review on the Boots website and said: “Love this! Was worried it might be a bit of a gimmick in the 'menopause market' but no need to be. Really noticed the difference since starting to use this product. Skin feels soft and hydrated.”
A second shopper added: “I'm not quite at Menopause stage more Peri, but wow I’ve finally found a cream that sinks into my skin, and improves it, no residue, no greasy-feeling - just leaves me with a Dewy glow.”
While a third said: “I had been really suffering with a dry, itchy menopause face and nothing had worked. After just 3 days of using this cream, I have no more itchy patches - 3 weeks on my face is glowing.”
If you fancy trying it for yourself, you can pick up No7's Menopause Skincare Protect and Hydrate Day Cream from Boots here for £32.95.
