Celtic skin is less oily, which seems like a virtue, but it often becomes drier, especially around menopause, and is more sensitive.
To manage this, here are three tips:
1. Look for products that contain nourishing ingredients. Moisturizers with anti-inflammatory omega-3 oils and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts are ideal. Ingredients like Argan oil (Argania spinosa) and Rosehip oil (Rosa canina) are beneficial as they are rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids. The higher these ingredients are listed, the more likely they are present in significant amounts, so expect a higher price for quality products.
2. Choose soothing and calming ingredients for sensitive skin, such as Jojoba oil, Aloe Vera, Calendula, Marula, Rosehip oil, or Rosewater. These botanicals help calm and renew the skin, especially if it is stressed and dry.
3. Avoid harsh cleansers and exfoliants. Opt for cream-based cleansers, biodegradable exfoliants, and richer natural moisturizers. Gentle care is crucial to prevent further irritation and to support skin healing. Look for calming botanicals like Lavender hydrosol, Sea Buckthorn, or Rosewater, which are anti-inflammatory and help soothe easily irritated skin.
Additionally, dry skin is often dehydrated, so it's important to include hydration from both internal and external sources. Use moisturizers with hydrating extracts such as Rosewater, Aloe Vera, and Lavender distillate. These natural ingredients add moisture and help maintain a healthy pH balance.
Incorporate these tips into your skincare routine, and also consider your overall health including diet, hydration, exercise, and sleep patterns. By maintaining a gentle and nourishing skincare routine, you’ll see improvement in your menopausal skin.
