October marks Menopause Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on the often misunderstood and under-discussed journey that half of the population will experience. At The Solution, we believe in supporting women through every age and stage, including menopause. This month, we are proud to share real, authentic menopause voices. We sat down with 5 unique and empowered women on their menopausal journey. We've asked them to share their insights, advice and real menopause stories.
From changes in skin and hair, to shifts in mood, energy levels and hormones, menopause manifests in a multitude of ways. So, what greater way to celebrate menopause awareness month, than by sharing authentic voices. 50% of the population will go through menopause...so lets talk about it.
Lynn candidly shares how the changes to her skin and hair were some of the most surprising aspects of her menopause journey. Keep reading to discover how Lynn helped manage her symptoms through her wellness routine. Introducing Collagen, incorporating excercise and finding the right skincare products for her skin.
"I would have loved to know how it would affect my skin and hair. Dealing with dry skin one minute and thinning hair the next was hard. And I never even heard of Collagen… now that’s all we talk about… so yeah that would have been great to know."
My tip would be to talk to your friends regardless of age. Our experience of menopause is all very different, so if it hasn’t happened yet, you have a heads up on what type of things to expect and how to deal with it earlier.”
“From my experience skincare was really important for me. I now use different moisturisers for when I skin is really dry, and another for when I go through periods of hot flushes and want something a bit lighter in texture.”
“As menopause is the norm now, I feel great actually, only because I manage it well. I am a great reader, so I manage the issues before/as they change, my diet is better, I exercise more, and I spend well deserved money on the products that support my skin and hair.
So at 59 years old … I look and feel great ❤️”
This Menopause Awareness Month, let’s continue the conversation. In conclusion, we must celebrate the changes, and embrace the wisdom that comes with this transformative life stage.
