Peri Menopause/Menopause - what's the difference?

Perimenopause means around the menopause and is the transitional time leading up to the Menopause. This time can last several years, with the average being around 4 years

Menopause is officially when you haven't had a period for a year, and typically you will still experience many symptoms for several more years.

So in total a woman can experience symptoms for 8-10 years!

This short quiz will take a look specifically at symptoms surrounding Hair, Skin and Nails.

It will take less than 2 minutes to complete and you will get an amazing offer at the end!

What age does this all happen?

Typically the signs of Perimenopause start anywhere in your 40s, with the average being 47. There are varying reports of how many symptoms there are, and they range from 20-over 50?

What we do know is that many of these symptoms can affect our Hair, Nails and Skin

Which bracket do you fit in?(Required)

Why is my skin affected?

Our skin can be affected by the menopause in so many different ways. The skin is our largest organ in the body and is covered in Oestrogen Receptors. These Oestrogen Receptors send messages that keep our skin hydrated and plumped.

The top layer of the skin the Epidermis is where our natural moisturisers Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides and Sebum are produced and are largely affected by Oestrogen, so as these levels drop so will the levels of moisture in our skin. When our skin is dry it becomes itchy, one of the most common complaints of menopausal women.

The second layer of skin, the Dermis is where our Collagen is produced and this acts like the building blocks of our skin holding it all together, when collagen is reduced our skin will show fine lines and wrinkles and will become thin and therefore fragile. Our collagen levels drop by 30% in the first 5 years of menopause, it is no wonder we start to age quickly once menopause hits!

Menopausal acne is believed to be due to the drop in oestrogen levels or an increase in testosterone, sadly this symptom of the menopause can still happen even if you are on HRT, possibly caused by the influx of progestin which is used to replace the oestrogen.

Lets move on to see if you are suffering with some of the most common skin compaints during the Peri/Menopausal time of your life

Lets look at your Hair

Just like our skin our hair can also suffer with dryness, but did you also know many women start to get more curls than they ever had before?

Sadly many women suffer with large volumes of hair thinning or hair loss, which can devastate a womans self confidence at a time when she can already be feeling very fragile.

How would you describe your hair?

Nails

So you may by now start to notice a pattern going on, basically our Hair, Skin and Nails are all very closely linked and what is good for your Hair will generally also be good for Skin and Nails, vice versa and all other options in between!

It should come as no surprise to hear then that your nails could become more brittle or dry than you have experienced before.
