"These are the best Skin Care Products for Women available!"

Making quality skin care products for women requires quality ingredients. The lessening and eventual loss of estrogen and progesterone also affects skin negatively. Aside from problems caused by sun damage, perimenopausal and menopausal women experience thinner, looser and less elastic skin, reduced production of collagen, cessation of oil gland function, and dry skin.

Other parts of the body are also influenced by the diminishing amount of female hormones; itchy skin, and brittle nails, just to name a few.

I would love to say that there are skin-care products out there that positively affect the changes that occur in perimenopausal and menopausal skin, but there aren’t. There is simply no information suggesting that applying soy extract, black cohosh, wild yam, or evening primrose oil to the skin can mitigate any of the changes taking place in the epidermis and dermis, and definitely not in comparison to taking those substances orally.

None of those substances are a problem if they show up in skin-care products, but their benefits are most likely not any different from those of other anti-inflammatory and antioxidant cosmetic ingredients, which is impressive but not for reversing the effects of menopause.

Here is one of many excellent skin care products for women:

The truth is the real basics for skin care continue to apply to perimenopausal and menopausal women alike: sun protection, treating the skin type you have (not all menopausal women have dry skin), and using gentle skin-care products loaded with antioxidants. If you have dry skin, use an emollient moisturizer with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents (which most products these days contain). But there is nothing you can apply to skin (other than over-the-counter or prescription-only estrogen creams) that can alter the actual condition of your skin caused by the depletion of hormones.

What about the use of effective AHAs for menopausal women? This depends more on the condition of your skin than anything else. For some women (usually those over 70—well after menopause) the skin can become so thin it can literally tear when gently scratched or rubbed. This thinning is a result of many factors but primarily it is brought about by a combination of estrogen loss, genetic aging, and sun damage. All of these things cause the skin cells to produce "less skin" and what is produced is less healthy skin.

In terms of genetic aging, skin cells seem to have a preprogrammed mechanism that slows down skin cell turnover, causing a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of skin. It would be helpful if there were a way to tell skin cells not to slow down production, stay healthy (produce normally), and not build up on the surface of skin. The benefit of removing surface dead skin cells is that it absolutely helps improve the appearance of skin, allows healthier skin cells to come to the surface, and allows better penetration of moisturizers.
