Menopause: The Effects on the Skin
Did you know that during menopause the skin produces less and less collagen?
Different clinical studies indicate that in the first 5 years after menopause the skin produces up to 30% less collagen; subsequently it decreases by approximately 2% each year.
Collagen is a fundamental protein of the epidermis and connective tissues: thanks to its synthesis, the skin maintains elasticity, tone and compactness.
What is the cause of the collagen decrease during menopause?
Estrogens play a fundamental role: these hormones, in addition to regulating the menstrual cycle, also influence the production of elastin and collagen.
Menopause is characterized by the progressive estrogen drop, which in turn cause a decrease in circulating collagen. And here the skin loses hydration and tone, becomes drier and the first wrinkles begin to appear on the face.
To counteract this phenomenon, the Face creams to use during menopause must contain specific hydrating, nourishing and restructuring ingredients.
How to choose the best face cream during menopause
What are the ingredients that cannot be missing in an anti-wrinkle face cream over 50?
Let's discover them together:
COLLAGEN
We have just seen that during menopause there is a constant decrease in this protein so fundamental for the elasticity of the tissues. For this reason, many anti-wrinkle creams are not only enriched with collagen, but also with other molecules that stimulate its production, for a restructuring action on the skin.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is indispensable for the synthesis of collagen, as it affects chemical transformations in the amino acids that form collagen filaments. High concentrations of isolated vitamin C in a face cream are essential for an anti-wrinkle and antioxidant effect.
HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid is another fundamental component of menopausal-specific face creams: in nature, it is the element that maintains cohesion between cells and gives tissue compactness. It is defined as a "hydroregulator": thanks to its ability to retain water (each gram contains about 70g of water), it guarantees skin hydration and performs vital functions in the synthesis of elastin and collagen.
RETINOL
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A long recognized for its anti-aging properties: contained in many face creams for over 50s, it speeds up the production of collagen and the cell renewal process.
DMAE
DMAE (or Deanol), used in the medical field with neuroprotective function, has recently also been re-evaluated for its extraordinary antiaging properties. It increases the hydration of the skin, stimulates the production of collagen and has a tensor effect on the wrinkles that are flattened, thus exerting a lifting effect on the most critical areas of the face.
These are some of the most effective ingredients in face creams to use during menopause.
The most important thing, however, is to check its concentration: in the INCI, the higher an ingredient is placed, the greater its concentration in the product.
