The menopause and hormones have a lot to answer for. They can play havoc with our sleep, our state of mind, our internal thermostat and additionally, it can do all kinds of things to our skin.
Did you know that rosacea becomes a lot more prevalent after the menopause? It’s tricky to treat and can be triggered by all kinds of things. Finding your own personal trigger is key.
I did a video about it with amazing skin guru, Nicole Harris, who suffers from an extreme from of rosacea. Click below to have a watch:
I’m extremely lucky that I only developed a very mild form of rosacea and even that was bad enough! I was even more lucky that I found a product to get rid of it almost immediately.
So when HELLO! magazine approached me to write about my Menopause Hero Skin Product, I was ready.
As published in HELLO!:
The rosacea-soothing serum
“Something strange started happening to my skin when I went into menopause. I began getting red bumps which were unlike anything I’d had before. I’d wake up and there it would be, and there it would stay for 10 days, an inflamed red mound.
“I mentioned it to a dermatologist who said it was a type of rosacea. That was a surprise as I thought rosacea was more like a red rash. It turns out that rosacea can take many different forms and is a lot more prevalent after menopause. It’s often tricky to treat as it can be triggered by many different things. I’m fortunate that mine is confined to the odd single bump, even if it is usually right in the middle of my face.
“I was thrilled to find a serum that helps to get rid of it very quickly, usually within 24 hours. It’s by ARK and is their Anti-Redness Serum. It’s for all kinds of redness and I’ve found it works brilliantly on my flare-ups. No longer do I have to put up with an unsightly bump for weeks on end. It’s either gone or greatly reduced within a day or two.”
