Skin longevity during menopause

Skin longevity during menopause is significantly influenced by the reactivation of oxygen supply to the skin cells. Oxygen plays a central role in maintaining the performance of our “cell powerhouses,” the mitochondria, and is therefore essential for all metabolic processes in the skin. An optimized oxygen supply and cell-protecting active ingredients such as Q10 play a decisive role in promoting the formation of new skin cells — for vitality, radiance, and a fresh glow. 

Due to declining estrogen and progesterone levels during menopause, which can begin as early as age 35, the oxygen supply to skin cells is significantly reduced and the skin loses its ability to produce new cells, form an intact skin barrier, and retain moisture. Density, tone, and elasticity decline, leading to increased tightness, wrinkles, and increasing irritation and itching. Optimal care reoxygenates the skin cells and restores balance to dull and tired skin — for a vital, fresh, and plump complexion.

The most important facts:

  • Hormonal changes affect the longevity of skin cells and their oxygen supply.
  • Skin density, volume, and elasticity decline.
  • Lipid and moisture content decrease noticeably and the skin barrier is weakened.
  • Optimization of oxygen levels through deeply effective, highly compatible anti-aging facial care for every skin condition, especially for tired or stressed skin.
  • Serum and cream with Q10, hyaluronic acid, postbiotic minerals, fermented amino acids, plant stem cells, omega-3 fatty acids, and ginkgo specifically stimulate microcirculation and cell metabolism again.
  • Regular use ensures a plump, radiantly fresh glow in the long term.

Effects of skin longevity during menopause

The effects of menopause on longevity (lifespan) are a complex topic. It affects the entire body and every single cell. However, the research findings to date on the connection between menopause and skin longevity are not yet sufficient to provide clear data. But initial research suggests that women who experience early menopause not only have to contend with declining estrogen levels, but also have a slightly increased risk of osteoporosis, metabolic decline, and cardiovascular disease, for example. 

For the skin during menopause, this means that cells are less well supplied with nutrients and oxygen. The skin produces hardly any hyaluronic acid and becomes thinner. The skin's protective barrier can no longer be adequately built up. The number and performance of blood vessels decrease. The poorer blood circulation in turn causes the skin to dry out, further reducing its barrier function and making irritation and inflammation visible and noticeable. At the same time, there is a loss of tone and elasticity, premature skin aging, and dull, gray, and tired-looking skin.

What should you keep in mind for skin longevity during menopause?

  • Daily skincare routine with oxygen-enriching and barrier-building active ingredients
  • Light massage of the skin to stimulate microcirculation (e.g., when applying cream)
  • Avoid physical and mental stress
  • Get enough sleep for regeneration
  • Take daily walks in the fresh air (this also stimulates the metabolism)
  • Light daily exercise to stimulate circulation
  • Adequate fluid intake
  • Avoidance of alcohol and cigarette consumption

Skin longevity measures during menopause

  • Strength training promotes muscle growth to prevent osteoporosis and at the same time improves oxygen transport by stimulating the blood vessels when the muscles are contracted – resulting in better oxygen supply to the tissues and skin.
  • Maintain gut microbiome and bowel function with fiber and healthy fats.
  • Maintaining vitamin D levels improves calcium absorption and immune function.
  • Without vitamin D, the body can hardly absorb calcium and excretes it unused – the body then “regulates” calcium absorption from the bones.
  • Calcium is crucial for better sleep and thus for cell regeneration.
  • Dietary supplements containing tryptophan (an essential amino acid) improve sleep disorders, fatigue, and listlessness and serve as a building block for the body's own proteins. It can be converted into vitamin B3 (niacin), which in turn is important for skin regeneration.
  • Adaptogens such as maca root or ginseng support energy supply and performance.
  • Magnesium improves bone health, hormone metabolism, and neuromuscular functions.

Which active ingredients have a positive effect on skin longevity?

  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Ginkgo

These active ingredients specifically stimulate microcirculation and cell metabolism.
