The perimenopause – before the menopause kicks in – can bring lots of changes to your complexion. Continuing my series of blogs, here are my skincare pro-tips.

WHAT IS THE PERIMENOPAUSE?

For most women it happens in your mid-40s and can last up to four years before the menopause starts. Periods become irregular and you may start to experience hot flushes.

When it comes to your complexion, breakouts become the norm. This is because the decrease in oestrogen starts to impact you skin's natural defences, triggering spots and acne. If you have normally balanced skin, it may become red, and dry patches and rosacea may develop.

PRO-TIP: TACKLING HOT FLUSHES

If you start to feel sudden heat around your face, neck and chest then you need something that can help calm you skin.

Keep a bottle of Collagen Face & Body Mist it in the fridge to cool and invigorate. Use top to toe to firm and refine skin, lift your spirits and boost energy levels too. On top of that, you can use it to set your makeup. So many great uses in one great product!

PRO-TIP: INTRODUCE A SERUM

If you’ve not used a serum before now is the time to start. Apply to your face and neck straight after cleansing and before you moisturise.

My new Collagen Serum Oil contains a clever blend of Collagen Drops with hyaluronic acid, essential neroli oil, and vitamins C and E. Together, they improve hydration, tackle breakouts and soothe redness, and reduce inflammation.

PRO-TIP: TARGET DRY SKIN ISSUES

Because dry skin can be itchy and more sensitive, you need organic products that rebalance, hydrate and heal.

My signature Silver Bee Venom Mask contains revolutionary ABEETOXIN® to tighten, firm and lift, penetrating fine lines and wrinkles. It’s healing properties make it perfect for those who suffer from blemishes, rosacea, eczema, dry and mature skin.
