My journey towards menopause started slowly, and then it hit me like a freight train. I experienced disrupted sleep, hot flashes, brain fog, food sensitivities, low energy, and more. Bewildered and frustrated, I became a menopause coach to understand the lifestyle changes which would help my symptoms.
While I could improve my sleep, hot flashes, and energy, I couldn't seem to help my skin. It had settled into a type of dullness and dryness that no amount of moisturizer could resolve. When I looked in the mirror, I didn't recognize myself.
Like most women, I tried the anti-aging creams, the serums, and the cleansers, but my skin remained stubbornly dry and irritated. Red patches came and went, fine lines deepened, and my soft, supple skin seem to be a thing of the past.
