This is the description of a beauty in " Book of Songs ". Everyone has it. What changes will women’s skin change during this special period of menopause? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, what are the tips for "love beauty" during menopause?
After women enter menopause, their skin and hair undergo significant changes. The skin is one of the important target organs of estrogen, and the distribution of hair and subcutaneous fat are related to the effect of estrogen. As we age, ovarian function declines and estrogen deficiency. Menopausal women's skin becomes thinner, their elasticity gradually disappears, becoming dull, and even spots and wrinkles appear, especially exposed areas such as the face, neck, hands, around the mouth and the outer corners of the eyes. In addition, the skin moisture of menopause women is reduced compared with that of young people. The original 200 million small sweat glands of the skin gradually shrink after menopause, and the secretion of sebaceous glands is also reduced, affecting the skin humidity. Therefore, the skin of women in menopause and elderly is prone to dryness.
As the skin ages, the past external charm of menopause women gradually loses. Coupled with menstrual disorders, hot flashes, sweating, palpitations, insomnia, depression, irritability and other discomfort symptoms accompanied by menopause, women in this period do not like to dress up, and thus develop inferiority and lose confidence. Only by paying attention to skin care and maintaining a healthy body and mind can we better exude the unique charm of menopause women and spend menopause peacefully.
