The Real Deal About Menopause and Dry Skin
Girl, let me tell you about this menopause skin situation! I swear, nobody warned me that one day I'd wake up and my face would feel like the Sahara Desert. But here we are!
So you know how your skin's been feeling lately? That awful tight, flaky mess? It's all thanks to our hormones playing hide and seek. Our estrogen is literally ghosting us, and our skin is throwing a tantrum about it.
For my darker-skinned friends, it shows up looking all ashy and dull. You know that look when you forget lotion? Like that, but ALL THE TIME. And you might not even realize it's happening until you catch yourself scratching like crazy or notice those dry patches making your skin tone look uneven.
My lighter-skinned girls are dealing with skin that's suddenly showing every tiny line and looking red and irritated. Like, excuse me? I didn't sign up for this!
The worst part? That squeaky-clean feeling after washing your face that we used to love? Total trap. That's your poor skin crying for moisture.
I've been slathering on moisturizer like it's my job. Koshajay Essentials has this one with hyaluronic acid that's been a total game-changer. And I've ditched all those fancy scented cleansers we used to love in our 20s – they're just making things worse.
Also, water is your BFF now. I carry a water bottle everywhere like it's my designer purse.
Look, we're in this together. Our skin might be acting like it's having its own midlife crisis, but we don't have to let it win. This is just another thing we'll figure out together, like we did with our first gray hairs and those fun surprise chin whiskers (don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!).
What's been working for you so far? Maybe we should have a spa night soon and try out some of these heavy-duty moisturizers together!
