Skincare in Your 40s and 50s 🤔 How Your Skin Changes with Menopause

[@maryblumreich9813]

I'm 83, almost 84, and I still pamper my skin. I use retinol and collagen creams daily.

[@yusufomg]

Ingesting collagen is better than using topical creams. Topical collagen creams dosent penetrates into the skin because it's too large to be observed by thr skin. Also retinol is weaker than Tretinoin. Retinol is a derivative of Tretinoin. Please see ASAPScience anti aging video....

[@barbowens8626]

You sound terrific! My mom just turned 87 and has preached and practiced good skin care since I can remember. She still looks wonderful and I bet you do, too!🎉❤😊

[@marleneperry6972]

I take collagen tablets because I have osteoarthritis and joint collagen & collagen helps keep me upright And helps skin/teeth/hair growth. Sunblock is an essential also.

[@karenschmoutz6785]

I could do an entire dissertation on this subject. 15 years post-menopause and the skin changes just keep coming. Mine started drying out in my late 20’s and menopause accelerated that process ten-fold. Since I’ve been seeing dermatologists since the age of three months (yes, extreme sensitivity also), I’m fairly familiar with the drill: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize…..it never ends. Fortunately science has vastly improved the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of products over my lifetime so there are many helpful choices out there. And Lucky us-we have Dr. Dray to help us navigate that universe. Thanks for all these terrific videos!

[@WiseFamin]

Thank you so much for this video! Growing up, no one ever talked about menopause--it was a taboo subject for no reason! When my mom went through it, she never talked about it, so a lot of these postmenopausal and perimenopausal changes were a surprise! (The acne, in particular!) And it really shouldn't be, so I thank you for making this video. And if there are any premenopausal women reading this comment and your mom is still alive, do take some time to talk with her (and your grandmothers and aunts) about what their perimenopausal and menopausal experiences were like. Yours will likely be the same as theirs!

[@radiandrea]

Turning 45, I definitely see changes, even though I don’t think I am yet perimenopausal.

Got back $10 on my cvs card, coupon works. Dr has talked about the gold bond line, that overnight body lotion she likes is on sale too. The ones I bought are true facial formulas & have not clogged me (I have dehydrated skin but prone to congestion).

Timely indeed! Can the Elastin issue be address with: Externally: Skin care containing elastin, and Internally: L-Lysine, to maintain both collagen & elastin?

Dang. “Descent” is such an ugly concept when skin is the subject. Keep your sense of humor--aging is not for the anxiety prone! Trying to be grateful for the good health I do have even tho the mirror is scary

[@swineinny1]

All the men I know in this age group are soooo resistant to using sunscreen at all, let alone regularly. Gah! 😢

[@Aussiegirl1972]

Im 50 and menopausal and I hardly have a line on my face thanks to genetics and also having stayed out of the sun and using sunscreen since I was 18 and back then people hardly wore sunscreen on a daily basis but I did. I have combination to oily skin and very fine transparent skin that’s still plump with hardly any visible pores. People think I’m 37 years old. I also have very thick hair thanks to my dad as he’s 72 and still has all of his hair 😊

[@beyond50skin]

That is fantastic! What a testament to wearing sunscreen🙌… how did you ever think to put it on? I’m a 60s baby and it just never even occurred to me. Unti my 39’s The early spfs we’re so stinky and astringent.!

[@BeautyIsMyLife]

Wow! I'm your age and although I didn't go tanning as much as some in our age group, I still did some. There weren't many sunscreen options in the 70's and 80's, the only one I remember is Ski to Sea brand. I started wearing sunscreen every day for the past 15 years. I also am blessed to look about 10 to 12 years younger. My mom also looks young!

[@Aussiegirl1972]

@@BeautyIsMyLife I started using sunscreen in 1990 I was 18 years old and in Australia there were sunscreens with sof15 as there was no spf 30 or higher back then and I remember using a Ponds Lotion with spf 15. 😊

[@BeautyIsMyLife]

@@Aussiegirl1972 we are the same age so I was 18 in 1990 too, but live in the US. I think there was some foundation that had spf 15 but I've never worn foundation much. I did use spf 15 creams in the 90"a but only on very sunny days. Wish it was more widely known to wear it every day when we were kids! Wish I had been as smart as you!

[@beyond50skin]

@@BeautyIsMyLife I have no idea what happened to me lol! My mom at 87 is aging well... It's such an individual process I guess. Someone even asked me if I were a drug addict! 😳when I shared my before and afters. The answer is NO but I sure aged dramatically post menopause.. Now on HRT, plus SPF 24/7 and post in-office dermatology treatments. It's all helped. Feeling a lot more like me again :)

[@amixeblu]

I don't think I mind "the creases" from sleeping. After you wake up, by the time you are ready for the day (washed and made-up), it is gone anyway. It just naturally "dissolves" as you go about your day. Why would I worry about it, or spend an arm and a leg on a darn pillow? I think it's a bit... much, personally.

[@traceykoontz2868]

I noticed you didn't mention diplitory cream for the face, I prefer to use this over any type of blade on my face because I'm not a dude, and the redness that comes from that for men who use an electric razor they should use a lotion like letric shave before using the electric razor they say it helps to prevent burn and helps for a closer shave. That was a lot of information, but I do pluck those dam hairs too and then there's the ones that have turned gray, very tricky to see, yeah menopause is just great, I've been trying to look at it like the next chapter and it is just wish we could bottle some of that youthful energy we all had 🤗, definitely have the patience now 🙄, but the grandchildren are the best 🥰 and that's a fact.

[@helpfulnatural]

I never really had oily skin when I was younger, more combo with the oily T-zone. But as I aged, everything became dry, especially the cheek areas. Since menopause, I feel like a dried up leaf from head to toe! 🍁🍂 I've also developed more sensitive skin that was never an issue pre-menopause. Fragrance in skincare is a no as well as chemical sunscreens which give me a horrible contact dermatitis rash. I also have to be careful which retinol products to use as they can trigger a reaction as well. It can be a struggle but if I stick to the products that work well for me, (Vanicream, CeraVe, Aquaphor, Eucerin), my skin looks and feels soft and hydrated. 😊

[@beautifulhope861]

Im 28 and Watching this still lol. I love the advice you give, im so happy I found your videos 5 Years ago. My skin has improved just from following your advice! Huge cerave and tretinoin fan.

I'm curious on what you think of it.

Dr Dray, thanks so much for dedicating a video to my age group. Some of these things I anticipated like wrinkles but the easy bruising was a surprise! Also, just want to say a general thank you. I discovered your channel during COVID lockdown and it is one good thing that came out of that whole experience. I'm taking much better care of my skin now now that I know what it needs.

Ugh, I thought that pillow was the worst. If I put my head in the depression for the head I couldn’t get the benefit of the cutout on the end of it. The one I got was made in Russia. I sent it back. Customer service was really nice and helpful with returning it. Two weeks after I ordered it I hadn’t received the pillow or a shipping notification so I emailed them. They never responded but within 24 hours I received a notification that it had been shipped. I guess they were hoping I would forget about it. 🤷‍♀️

My company changed to a new insurance this year and they no longer cover hair loss as a reason for bloodwork or doctor’s visits. Found out the hard way when they didn’t cover bloodwork I got done for hair loss and I ended up with a $1000+ bill.
