In this episode I chat with Amy from Amy Cox Face and Body about skincare during menopause. We discuss the changes that occur in the skin during menopause and the impact of factors like sun exposure and pollution.

We also touch on topics like adult acne, dull skin and the effectiveness of collagen supplements. And why personalised consultations and skincare routines are the way forward to address individual needs.

Key takeaways:

• During menopause, the skin undergoes changes such as loss of collagen and elastin, leading to volume loss and less elasticity.
• Factors like sun exposure, pollution and smoking can further impact the skin's health and appearance.
• Skincare needs during menopause can vary, with some experiencing dryness and others experiencing increased oiliness.
• Consultations with skincare experts can help determine the best treatment options based on individual needs and concerns.
• Collagen supplements - are they worth it?
• What a basic skincare routine should look like
