Here are some pearls of wisdom gathered from the wise women in my life who have hit menopause and emerged fabulous on the other side:
1. If you’re not a water-drinker, get into the habit now. Staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do for your body as well as your skin.
2. Stay out of the sun, but if you just can’t help yourself, wear sunscreen. Choose an SPF 30 with a combination of chemical and physical sunscreens (titanium dioxide or zinc oxide). Cover your entire body with at least an ounce and reapply every hour. If you start getting red, get out of the sun, pronto! Remember that overexposure to the sun is the skin’s enemy.
3. If you smoke, you may want to consider quitting. You already know what it can do your skin, so I won’t preach to you.
4. Don’t forget to use your anti-aging products past your chin. Pay attention to your neck, decollete and even your hands.
5. If you feel like you need a little “extra work”, go for it! But remember, you need to take care of your skin to maintain the results whether it’s Botox, fillers or surgery.
6. Since collagen starts to diminish by 1% every year once you hit 40, choose products with ingredients that are known to boost collagen production. Striking Skin Care with SmartPeptides is a good place to start.
All pretty common sense notions, but sometimes, it’s common sense that we lack!!
