Pro Age Solutions: Pioneering Filipino Advocacy for Menopausal Women's Well-Being

Anti-aging skincare for menopausal women is a crucial aspect of self-care during this transformative phase of life. Menopause brings about significant hormonal changes, leading to a variety of skin concerns, including dryness, reduced elasticity, and increased susceptibility to wrinkles. To effectively address these issues, menopausal women should adopt a comprehensive skincare routine.

This should include gentle cleansing to remove impurities, followed by hydrating serums and moisturizers rich in ingredients like hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to boost moisture retention and combat free radical damage. Sunscreen is essential to protect the skin from UV rays, which can exacerbate aging signs. Moreover, incorporating regular exercise into their routine promotes better circulation and a healthy glow. Staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and getting sufficient sleep also play vital roles in supporting skin health during menopause. Consulting with a dermatologist can provide personalized guidance to navigate these changes effectively, ensuring that menopausal women look and feel their best.

Pro Age Solutions Community

The silent yet growing stigma in maintaining one's beauty and youthfulness, especially to women, inspired Claudine Viquiera to establish Pro Age Solutions. “What makes the menopausal journey even harder is the fact that there is no community locally that addresses the problem that women encounter,” Claudine Viquiera said. Her goal is to create a community of women in midlife to have a safe space to talk about their experiences while eradicating the taboos and stigma about perimenopause and menopause.

Menopause and the Skin

Menopause is a period in which a woman's periods stop due to the gradual loss in ovarian follicular function and the decline of estrogen levels. Most of the women in this stage experience different symptoms, one of the most prevalent is skin issues. Some of these are: dryness and itching, wrinkles, acne, hot flashes, and melasma. 

 

Menopause and Mental Health 

Along with the skin issues, the changing hormonal levels also impact women's mental health. On top of that, changes to their skin and their appearance can be a source of distress and may contribute to a loss of self-esteem and confidence.
