Menopause

What is menopause and how does it affect the skin?

Menopause marks the natural cessation of ovarian hormone production, particularly estrogen. These hormones play a key role in maintaining skin hydration, density, and firmness. In their absence, the skin becomes less resilient, more sensitive to external aggressions, and prone to sagging. This is why it's important to use a high-performance menopause cream, enriched with targeted skin-loving active ingredients, to compensate for these imbalances.

How to prepare your skin before and after menopause?

It's recommended to adopt a specific skincare routine from the premenopause stage onward to anticipate the first visible signs. Gently cleanse your skin, apply a serum concentrated in moisturizing active ingredients, then a protective day cream. In the evening, use a regenerating night cream to strengthen the skin barrier. After menopause, choose skincare rich in collagen, hyaluronic acid, and peptides to firm, nourish, and comfort even the driest or most fragile skin.

What facial treatments should you choose during menopause?

A day cream with a pleasant but non-greasy rich texture is ideal for moisturizing, nourishing and protecting. Generous Day Cream IOMA's Night Cream, for example, acts as a shield against external aggressions. In the evening, the Night Cream regenerates the skin during sleep, a key period for cell renewal. Incorporating a weekly mask and a firming serum perfectly completes the routine. Each treatment meets a specific need: hydration, comfort, tone, or radiance.

What are the most effective active ingredients during menopause?

IOMA formulas are based on active ingredients and ingredients recognized for their effectiveness:

• Hyaluronic acid: deeply hydrates, plumps and restores volume.
• Peptides and collagen: stimulate firmness, improve skin elasticity and density.
• Vegetable oils rich in omega: intensely nourish and restore the hydrolipidic film.

These active ingredients help to compensate for skin deficiencies and correct the visible effects of menopause.

Can you use menopause cream even if your skin is not dry?

Yes. Even if your skin isn't particularly dry, it can still lack firmness or develop more pronounced wrinkles during menopause. Menopause creams aren't just moisturizing; they work on several levels of the skin (firmness, radiance, comfort, nutrition) thanks to their multifunctional active ingredients. It's therefore perfectly appropriate to incorporate one into your routine, regardless of your skin type.

What is the best beauty routine during menopause?

An ideal routine combines the right actions and suitable care:

• Gentle cleansing morning and evening (mousse or non-aggressive milk)
• Serum concentrated in skin active ingredients (collagen, hyaluronic acid, etc.)
• Protective and firming day cream
• Regenerating night cream
• Revitalizing mask 1 to 2 times a week

This routine helps maintain beautiful skin despite hormonal fluctuations.
