*New* - The Lowdown on the Menopause...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Menopause Society designated October as the world's Menopause Month! So here we are to talk about the trials and tribulations of puberty's evil older sister!

One in 100 women experience menopause symptoms earlier than age 40, though the typical age for peri menopause is actually between 45 and 55 years of age. The most commonly talked about symptoms include a low mood and night sweats, but there's so much more to menopause than hot flushes!! Check out these strangely less obvious ones...

Smell & Taste - Food can taste bland, cravings for sweet things, nose like a bloodhound (especially bad smells)

Psychology - Low self esteem, lack of joy, loss of confidence, feeling isolated & alone

Mental Health - Disordered eating, OCD, panic attacks, rage

Body - Stubborn weight around the middle, increased breast size, sagging skin, inability to lose weight, more UTI's/thrush

Skin & Hair - Itchiness, dryness, more sensitivity, hair loss, acne, rosacea, lumps & bumps, electric shocks

Yes, these too - Pins & needles, clumsiness, aversion to loud noise, itchy ears & a sore tongue, crawling sensation under the skin

Have you experienced any of these symptoms?

As we move into the peri menopause stage, oestrogen levels begin to change your skins physiology. Lower oestrogen and progesterone production can all increase your skin's ageing process.. but do not despair! Help is out there!
