Menopause and your skin: what's really happening?

You sometimes hear it said: "After you turn 40, this is just part of life, just accept it." This is the kind of well-intentioned advice that downplays your complaints, but it doesn't seem small to you at all.
Especially when it comes to the changes in your skin and hair after 40. But what's really happening in your body, and what can you do to feel confident?

What changes in your body after 40?

From age 35, progesterone levels drop, and after age 40, estrogen even decreases significantly. This affects:

• Sleep : you sleep more lightly and wake up faster.

• Thyroid : Your metabolism slows down, causing you to gain weight.

• Liver : Excess estrogen is less effectively removed, which can lead to mood swings or bloating.

• Skin : Less collagen means more wrinkles, sagging and drier skin.

• Hair : Hair becomes thinner due to hair loss.

What happens to your skin during menopause?

During menopause, the production of skin-supporting collagen decreases by about 2.1% annually , and elasticity decreases by an average of 0.55% per year . Estrogen normally helps keep your skin hydrated, but as it declines, your skin:

• Drier, thinner and more sensitive

• Less elastic, which causes wrinkles and sagging skin

• Changing facial contour with hamster cheeks

• More prone to pimples

• Hair loss

7 Simple Tips for Your Skin and Hair After 40

1. Hydrate deeply : Use skincare with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants .

2. Sun protection : A daily SPF 30+ prevents accelerated collagen breakdown.

3. Avoid stress : Stress increases cortisol and accelerates skin aging ; relax.

4. Diet : Eat a diet rich in protein, vitamins (especially C and E) and omega-3 fatty acids.

5. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption : These accelerate collagen breakdown and lead to dull skin.

6. Use the right collagen

7. Start with microneedling , which you can do at home with pre-assembled SETS.

Tips for improving your skin and hair after 40

You simply can't avoid it anymore. Due to hormonal changes during menopause, your natural collagen production decreases more rapidly. And you can see this on your face, neck, décolletage, and even your hands.

Which collagen supplement has been proven effective in research?
There are many types of collagen and to help you make the right choice, we provide information on what you should pay attention to.

1. SIZE of the peptides: small in molecular weight
2. That VITAMIN C remains STABLE in stomach acid
3. That HYALURONIC ACID has been added to the complex.
4. That there is n't an excess of other ingredients in your collagen.

Because excess is harmful!
And many cheap ingredients are added to tempt the consumer “ we add a lot of other substances, so you get value for your money ” but that is not necessary at all.

And certainly not good because they are often cheap and unnecessary ingredients, the origin of which cannot be traced!

You get enough vitamins and minerals from your normal meals. Unless your doctor has determined you have a deficiency, which can be determined through blood tests.

GPs never prescribe anything without good reason. During menopause, you might have a magnesium deficiency. That can also be tested. Or you might have a vitamin B deficiency. These are all things you can have tested for instead of spending money if it's not absolutely necessary.

Because again: It's not a case of "if it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt."

Why did we choose VERISOL Collagen powder?

VERISOL® is a patented blend of bioactive collagen peptides , specially developed by a German pharmaceutical company. What's special?

• Small in molecular weight due to hydrolysis, among other things, and up to 10x smaller than normal collagen, and this ensures optimal absorption in the body.

• Stable in stomach acid, and therefore completely and quickly absorbed by the body without breakdown.

• It immediately stimulates skin cells to produce new collagen, reduce wrinkle depth and improve skin elasticity.
  
  

With other forms of collagen supplements (proteins) you will not achieve this effect because they do not actually get close to the skin cells.


1. Why LAYZIN Collagen Beauty Complex ?

• Contains patented VERISOL® collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. Recently, another scientific study was conducted with proven results.

• This combination benefits your skin, hair and nails: wrinkles become less visible and hair (roots) and nails become stronger.

Where many skin products and creams do not penetrate deeper than the outer layers of the skin , LAYZIN VERISOL® works from within via the bloodstream, leading to long-lasting and visible changes.

The biopeptides activate the fibroblasts, which are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin, essential building blocks for firm, elastic and smooth skin.

2. A second option is: Stimulate collagen production with microneedling LAYZIN Anti-Aging Microneedling SET :

• The dermaroller creates small microchannels that allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper and improve skin appearance.

• In combination with the anti-aging serum (with Granactive Retinoid, vitamin C & E) you get an intensive boost for firm, smooth skin.

• A gentle exfoliating face scrub removes dead skin cells, allowing your skin to retain moisture better and glow more. It also stimulates blood circulation in the skin.

Dermarolling helps to:

• Accelerate the production of collagen and elastin.

• Allow active ingredients, such as the LAYZIN anti-aging serum, to penetrate deep into the skin.

• Improve wrinkles, pigment spots and skin structure.

Combined with LAYZIN Collagen, this is the ultimate powerhouse for plump, radiant skin that retains its natural beauty. You can achieve and maintain beautiful skin without Botox or fillers.

In short: menopause and your skin

After the age of 40, your skin changes: it becomes thinner, drier and wrinkles can develop more quickly.

Fortunately, you can control how healthy and radiant your skin remains, with informed choices such as collagen supplementation and innovative treatments like microneedling.

Also, maintain a gentle, nourishing routine and protect your skin and hair from environmental damage. Stay curious about what your skin needs. After all, natural beauty knows no age limit.
