Top ten ingredients in our products which are great for menopausal skin
Perimenopausal/menopausal/postmenopausal skin is affected by the decrease in oestrogen and progesterone and also in collagen and ceramide production. Vitamins C and A support our skin’s production of collagen.
You Must Be Sisters Facial Oil - Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil - Contains over 100 nutrients, and the levels of Vitamin C are at least 10 times higher than that of an orange. This makes it a highly effective oil to help support the production of collagen to reduce water loss and wrinkles. Provitamin A's beta carotene content naturally helps to heal dry skin and inflammation.
How Collagen Production Shapes Our Skin As We Age
If you are looking for ways to stimulate your skin’s natural production of collagen for skin elasticity, which decreases as we age, look no further than applying natural forms of Vitamins A and C directly to the skin. Sufficient levels of Vitamin C are vital for our skin’s production of collagen as without it our body is unable to produce or store collagen.
Why your skincare could be like being bitten by a snake
Our skin has a direct link into our bloodstream, unlike when we ingest foods where we have the digestive system to help us filter out any toxins before they reach our bloodstream. The skin is also our biggest organ, meaning what we apply to our face and body can have a huge impact on our overall health.

What goes into our skincare when we take the water out?
Most skincare products on the market contain around 80-90% water making it the lead ingredient by far, which only serves to thin and stretch the product so you pay more for less. If only the financial element was all there was to consider; there is also the fact that as soon as you add water to a product it requires chemical preservatives.

What are ceramides and how can they benefit my skin?
Young skin produces lots of ceramides, but as we age ceramide production in our skin reduces as does the quality and quantity of ceramides. Our body also makes less collagen as we age.
This affects our skin barrier and can lead to dry, rough skin, wrinkles, redness and dehydration as the ceramides we have are not preventing moisture loss like they once did when we produced more of them.
