Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health, particularly during menopause when estrogen levels drop significantly. This decrease can lead to dryness, loss of elasticity, and the formation of wrinkles. Our Menopause Skin Care Collection includes products from Emepelle formulated with estrogen, estriol, and natural forms of estrogen to help replenish what the body no longer produces in sufficient quantities. These ingredients work to hydrate, firm, and rejuvenate the skin, promoting a radiant and youthful appearance. Please note, estrogen analogues should not be used if you are a man, pregnant, breastfeeding, have a family history of breast or uterine cancer, or have a history of estrogen-responsive cancers.

Itchy skin is a common issue during menopause, often resulting from a defect in the skin barrier that allows water to evaporate from the skin. This leads to skin dehydration, making it dry and prone to itching. Our Menopause Skin Care Collection includes barrier repair moisturizers specifically designed to tackle this problem. These moisturizers contain ingredients that restore and strengthen the skin barrier, effectively locking in moisture. Under the microscope, these advanced formulations display a Maltese cross pattern, indicating their superior barrier-repair capabilities. By using these products, you can soothe itchy skin and maintain optimal hydration for healthier, more comfortable skin.

Exploring natural forms of estrogen can be beneficial for managing menopausal skin changes. Wild yams were once believed to have estrogenic activities, but this has not held up scientifically. In contrast, soy is a natural source that does contain estrogenic compounds. Specifically, fermented soy is known to have estrogenic activities due to the presence of genistein, a potent phytoestrogen. When looking for skincare products with estrogenic benefits, check the label for fermented soy ingredients. Genistein in these products can help mimic estrogen's effects on the skin, improving hydration, elasticity, and overall skin health.

Yes, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can significantly rejuvenate the skin of menopausal women. Estrogen administered through patches, ointments, creams, pills, and implants helps to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These methods replenish the skin's estrogen levels, counteracting the effects of menopause on skin health. However, it is important to note that estrogen can worsen melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
